Knowing Richard Black (2001)
The trick to enjoying this movie...
I have to say the synopsis to this movie is a bit misleading. The task at hand seems interesting enough. You have this woman being 'set-up' with a black man because she has never been with a man of her race. Through the course of this movie however, this goal becomes less and less relevant. If you are a part of the masses that set their mind on the plot point in the synopsis and expects that that is the story to be focused on, this is NOT the movie for you. The most interesting part is everything but.Instead what we get is a candid look into the process of setting up this woman. We get a somewhat devious but well meaning matchmaker, and a random bar scene that is pure gold. Marlene simply becomes an afterthought after a while and the objective gets lost in the shuffle.
