It’s not clear what kind of movie this is supposed to be. It starts out looking like a comedy with a fast-talking amusing sidekick (RJ Cyler channeling LaKeith Stanfield), but the inevitable racial theme keeps the comic angle damped. Three roommates discover an unconscious white girl in their apartment, since all 3 of them are men of color, they immediately see potential bad outputs for them. Their attempts at saving her, while ensuring their own safety have potential for hilarity, but the situations, even though they stress credibility, never get especially outrageous or amusing. Ultimately, the ending veers strongly toward friendships and racial awareness, leaving the message stronger than the entertainment.
