Negative Positive
Title: Phony
Review: I'm from Los Angeles, and lived in some depressed neighborhoods around downtown, and I can only say that this movie is some Canadian director's stereotyped view of race relations in LA. This guy has clearly never really seen the living, breathing, working heart of Los Angeles or else he wouldn't have put in such stupid stereotypes. The presentation of Asians in the film is the worst, and considering the overemphasis on white/black relations in LA, he clearly misses the real diversity that exists in LA, where people of all different types grow up and live together. LA to him is just a backdrop to tell a non-LA story of race relations in a city and outrages us Angelenos with his idiocy. Don't wasts your money.
