Adopted (2009)
2/10
Not funny, But a real life journey.

Warning: Spoilers
I watched it, all of it, plus the bonus, it was lame jokes, no originality, a stereotypical broader line racist observation,

as you will notice in the little bar stand-up the Africans[ black folks] themselves did not laugh at his jokes , and in response, he dissed/busted on them.

The film was careful not to have any audio from his stand-up performance in front of mainly white south Afrikaners, the producers knew American are more conscious / critical of crap racial / ethnic humor.

HE tried to make hood jokes where there was no hoods, I guess its the only reference to black folks he knows ?!

So it falls flat many times, but I will give him 2 stars for the journey .Yes,he did hang on the streets and in the end recommended how to appropriately support 'africa'.

The country was Azania/ the old south Africa..keep coming back and try again!!
