Double Take (2001)
7/10
A pretty likable film

I really like Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffin. Orlando Jones was hilarious in MAD TV, and Eddie Griffin has such character. The movie was at times a little wandering, but basically the two comic actors held it together. There was a lot of social commentary beneath the plot. First of all, there was both race and class. The movie showed through the differences in class between the two main characters, that they are treated very differently. One is a banker (Jones). While the other character (Griffin) appears to be a street hustler. The movie showed that the two could learn to get along with each other, despite their different personalities, and to find out the truth. The movie was pretty funny, but at the same time showed how racial/class politics really work with a pretty good degree of accuracy.
