PJ and Sean encourage Shondra to “show a little a–” as she attempts to motivate Brad to go white. The artwork for B-Rad’s demo disc, Malibootay, features women’s posteriors. In flashback, scantily-clad women dance to Naughty by Nature’s vulgar “O.P.P” at Brad’s Bar Mitzvah. Another scene involves what appears to Shondra’s boyfriend as B-Rad being given oral sex (he’s not). In his mind, he fantasizes that she comes on to him by opening her low-cut, midriff-baring blouse (her breasts are not visible to viewers, but he lowers himself and moves in to kiss them). Sexual content: One of the two most explicit scenes features B-Rad when he first encounters Shondra.
By film’s end, Shondra and B-Rad’s three friends (Hadji, Mocha and Monster) are willing to do the same. Gluckman isn’t the only one willing to put himself in harms way. He’s even willing to put his own life and the governorship (“I’m not going to lose my son for an election!”) on the line to save his son from thugs. But he wants to change and is willing to overlook his son’s bizarre gangsta image and reckless ways (arguably not a characteristic worth emulating) to get things back on track. Positive elements: Bill Gluckman hasn’t been a good father and he knows it. But his acts of insolence get him into hot water with real South Central gangsters. Suddenly, he’s emboldened to defy his captors and their supposedly violent means of holding him.

To help accomplish this goal, the actors hire the street-savvy Shondra believing her knowledge of the ‘hood will augment their lack of “experience.” Thus begins a series of “lessons” to convince B-Rad to go “white.” Nothing seems to work-especially after B-Rad overhears a phone conversation in which his poseur-kidnappers admit to the ruse. Although Jewish and privileged, Brad Gluckman (aka B-Rad) walks, talks and attempts to rap like an inner-city playa-something that is perceived (rightly) by Bill’s staff as a liability among potential voters.Unbeknownst to candidate Gluckman, a plan is concocted by his handlers to pay two African-American actors to stage his son’s kidnapping in order to “scare the black out of him” with a tour of Compton. With a very public campaign and a gangsta-wannabe son capturing media attention, Bill Gluckman’s opportunity to become the next governor of California is in serious jeopardy.
