I agree with quiet - the movie was chock full of stereotypes, but not only that it had some of the stupidest dialogue you would ever hear real people say. Watching Ludacris explain why buses have windows, Tony Danza wanting the black guy to sound stupider, listening to Sandra Bullock rant at home about her attack and the lock changes - things like this would seeem at home in a 1960's liberal arts flick that was trying to explain racism, but now seem quaint and childish.
And lets not forget the great scenes with the cop and the black woman. At first he is forcing his hands all over her and later he sees her as the human being she really is and tries to save her - gees, theres an original idea.
But ultimately the movie fails because it tries to explain a situation as complex as racism with a cute little saying about the size of LA and how everyone drives and there is no human contact so that when we do have a need for contact it is a forceful thing that ends up in a crash of - what - people, ideas, violence - who knows because the movie has no responsibility and ends up giving no answers.
