it's an ok one.

This sophomore effort by director Singleton (Boyz In Tha Hood) is entertaining and fairly enjoyable even though it has its share of cardboard characters and mediocre acting. For those who are unfamiliar, it's about students at a california university dealing with pressures, trials, tribulations, etc. of campus life, mixing with other races, etc. (the main focus, anyway).

Fishburne certainly isn't the best actor on the planet but does a good job pronouncing his Jamaican accent (Professor Maurice Phipps OOOHHHHH....classy!).

It kinda hits you over the head with racial and political messages - and in the most corniest, old-skool of ways possible, but it's not all bad. There are redeemable qualities to it. It's a good choice and a personal favorite the but performances here won't win any oscars.
