The film's cliches - of both character and style - mask (some might say undermine) what is a surprisingly complex look at race, sex, and masculinity. The four leads are all caricatures to some extent, but their comic personas give way to fully-realized characters with relatable flaws and ambitions. What could have been a perfunctory, if entertaining, boys-night-out comedy becomes something much more interesting than that. Plus, I unabashedly dig that early-90s urban style the film has in spades.
