- While he’s yet to give his official review of J&SBSB, Roger Ebert gives a somewhat negative comment about the film in ‘his review of Rush Hour 2. Could this be a hint of a negative review for the film, like he did with Mallrats? Or perhaps this was just a small incident and he otherwise liked the film. Time will tell. Until then, check out this snippet:
There is a belief among some black comics that audiences find it funny when they launch extended insults against white people (see also Chris Rock’s embarrassing outburst in the forthcoming “Jay and Silent Bobâ€). My feeling is that audiences of any race find such scenes awkward and unwelcome; I’ve never heard laughter during them, but have sensed an uncomfortable alertness in the theater. Accusing complete strangers of being racist is aggressive, hostile, and not funny, something Tucker demonstrates to a painful degree in this movie–where the filmmakers apparently lacked the nerve to request him to dial down.
