    Holy shit!! They used to play this on USA back in the 90s so much!!!
    USA had a sick ass rotation for random movies ever. Too bad it's all cop shows these days.
    I remember spending one Saturday glued to it cuz they showed "Friday" at 8am, "The Breaks" at 11am, "Trippin" at 1pm, "Players Club" at 3pm, this movie at 6pm and "they premiered "Next Friday" at 8pm.
    Had to record it on a vhs lol.
    If you were a teen in 2000, USA was a problem. Love this upload!

    Was a good positive movie..is just i thought at some point the parents would tell about adoption or at least for there to be a way to let the audience know whether he knows or not ...but im glad there was a change over part to the movie were most of the people that were negative towards other culture slowly started to change and accept different people is a good thing to see
