In the case of 1994’s Blankman, the naivety of youth is probably where this 'comedy classic' should have resided.
I was a huge fan of In Living Color and have always had an appreciation for the comedic minds on that show, following several of them into their budding movie careers, so when I discovered there was a film with David Alan Grier and Damon Wayans that looked somewhat inspired by his Handi-Man superhero character from the show, I was in.
That’s the basic story, but some of the side characters are way more interesting. I love Lynne Thigpen. She’ll always be my Chief from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and her snappy comebacks here are another humorous side with dick jokes that we all knew was there. The real crime is that she isn’t in the movie more.
