I thot it was o.k. I don't get the racist tag.

Anti-racist is more like it.

A racist is laid low by some hard knocks, by happenstance falls in love with another wounded soul, by chance African-American, and winds up in a different place.

Main problem is the unrealism of Ms. Berry; she looks too good to be real in that role. Plus I don't think much of her acting.

Right. It's also one of the worst movies ever made. It's drearily and embarrassingly bad, not at all enjoyably bad.

BTW, thanks for info about tango in Columbus. Can't make it to tango lessons on Thursdays, though, as I have weekly educational forums (7:30-9 PM) going on. -- Yoshie
