So when he entered his 30th year, still single because he felt polluted, he left town to take baptism from his cousin John in the Jordan River well south of home. The main need licking at Yeshu's heart was to find the father he had not yet known--and never quite would...
...cousin Aaron--he of the wallpaper tattoos--concurs. Aaron, who was tattooed after he turned 18, said, "When I think of some of the dumb stuff I wanted to do when I was 15, I'm glad someone stopped me."

Half a dozen college chums reune to reminisce, bicker and bond. This agitated comedy (produced by Lee's cousin Spike) could be called The Big Chillin' if it had a smidge of the 1983 film's wit and charm. It's nice to see an African-American story set outside the 'hood, and we'll keep calling hunky Taye Diggs a star of the future until he's 60. But he'll have to be in movies better than The Best...
