What a brilliant remake of 'guess whose coming to dinner,' for the 21st century.
Eddie Murphy is fantastic as the devout Muslim patriach who has control over his family when his daughter (without a dowry or cash offering from the suitor) wants to marry a Jew.
These two worlds collide as they argue about Islam's justifications for slavery of non muslims and Jews owning slave plantations in Louisiana whilst cleverly contrasting it with the Holocaust and the white tears than came from Bergen Belsen and Dachau in the 1940's whilst the survivors ran to Los Angeles with pockets full of jewels (geddit?) and gold where they took over the banking, business and building industries much to the economic decline of every other racial group in California.
A must watch movie for anyone interested in social justice and apartheid.
