Peter is a divorced lawyer who decided to try to find a partner again through online dating website. He found a blonde woman who are a perfect match for him, as he believed so, and decided to meet her over a dinner at his house. When itwas the date time, a black woman, Charlene, showed up at his door. He told her that she is at the wrong house, she replied that she is Charlene, the girl on the the Internet. Although she is not the blonde woman as in the picture, she is on the background of the same picture getting arrested by the police.
Charlene was charged falsely and she was seeking Peter's help. However, he refused to help her at first and tried to trick her to get rid of her. Her persistent kept her standing and she threatened him to ruin his case over a big account of an old and very rich widow. Peter had no chance but to accept her request and tried to help her. As he got to know her better and after going through the case with her, he realized that she was innocent and decided to clear the charge on her by the real culprit.
The movie was able to demonstrate the discrimination against black people that they face through their life. It also showed that no one has the right to judge others by appearance, and one must get to know each other and give others a chance to express themselves. However, the movie lacks humor at certain points and could have a more twisted plot, rather than a very simple one.
Teacher's note: I especially like how this author demonstrates observational depth by suggesting an improvement to "Bringing Down the House." This shows that the author is thinking critically, but not so much so that he is not able to enjoy this awesome movie. Thanks for posting!
