Movie Reviews of Watermelon Man
Movie Review: "The Thing With Two Heads" with PITS
Summary: 2 Stars
This contrived, stilted "social comedy" is about as entertaining as waiting on line during a busy day at the Division of Motor Vehicles--Godfrey Cambridge is wasted and struggles to be interesting with the ludicrous script--An early 70's movie that looks like a lost episode of the old BILL COSBY Tv series--Not much watermelon, but plenty of PITS
Summary of Watermelon Man
Godfrey Cambridge stars in this outrageous comedy directed by maverick filmmaker Melvin Van Peeples (Sweet Sweetback's Baad Asssss Song). Jeff Gerber (Cambridge) seems to have it all: a successful career a nice suburban home a progressive-thinking wife (Academy Award?-winner Estelle Parsons Best Supporting Actress Bonne and Clyde 1967) and two cute children. But he's also a loud-mouthed racist who wakes up one morning to discover he's turned into a black man. The doctor's have no explanation and no cure for his sudden change. Suddenly Gerber is a white bigot in black skin who has to deal with a shocked family intolerant neighbors cold shoulders at the office and a back seat on the bus!System Requirements:Run Time: 98 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?R UPC:?043396050532 Manufacturer No:?05053Comedy DVD Video
