“All his life, African-American Renato has been raised in an Italian-American family. Completely unaware that he is Black, his life is upended when his birth parents materialize, causing Renato to examine what his true heritage is. “

That’s the description on the back of the box. It’s straight to DVD, available to pre-order on Amazon.

A few questions:

Why is black capitalized?

Is this not the dumbest most dumb premise for a movie you’ve heard in a while? And to think, Whoopi Goldberg is in it! And Jamie Lyn Siegler, who maybe isn’t the most well know actress, but she was on the Sopranos forever? And Donald Faizon, who’s all over tv, including Scrubs? I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m not hip and with it. And I clearly don’t understand racial issues. I mean, right?

Weird.
