So the black kid has to be a criminal and the white girl has to be wholesome? Wow… not exactly thinking out of the box with that plotline. It would be somewhat more entertaining if Duff played a trailer trash jailbird who falls in love with a well mannered black kid from the suburbs. Stereotypes are at their best, when played with and turned on its head. When that finally happens, we can then move on to the fact that North America isn’t all about black and white people… and Asian women. Yeesh.

The fact that people still make a big stink over interracial dating is hilarious to me, especially since nobody walking th earth is purely black, white, whatever. We’re all basically related, and life is one big messy incestuous orgy. Deal with it.

Shouldn’t this be an after school special instead? I think I saw this episode in the eighties. Heroes is much more realistic of today’s dating world.

Yeah…my thoughts exactly guys….and I do agree this kid is WAY too young for this role. Darren, “Something New” was my fave movie last year! I’m glad you saw it..:)

Yeah, Hilary Duff…she’s waiting tables with a :)

While I hope she can show more acting ability than her Colgate choppers, when I saw the story on her new film a few days ago (back when the Community was up) I also had the same feeling as Big Samspon did, as well as Serena.

It’s tough to break new ground in this issue- although I did enjoy “Something New” from a year or so ago. But I don’t really understand why the non-white of the couple has to have a record. Because the character does- I wonder if there will be a scene or two in the film where his ‘hoodlum’ friends come crawling around, and make him choose to either stay with Duff in a low paying cook’s job or be the lookout in some drug buy five/dime for a few Benjis.
I wonder if there will be a scene where he’s highly tempted to make that choice, say no, and the next day, his fomer crew is dead or ready for prison.

At least I hope that’s not the sub-plot.
