Saw it opening weekend at the Lowe’s theater in Times Square , NYC.
We were a bunch of white kids from NJ. It was a packed house with lines down the street.
Inside the theater… two thirds of the audience was AA.
When the N word made its appearance.. it was as if all of the air was sucked out of the building and then something magical happened… EVERYONE started laughing.
Everyone understood the point of the satire and from them on in, one could barely hear the lines for all of the hysterical laughing. Sitting next to me was a fiftyish AA gentleman and when the lights came up and everyone stood to leave, he turned to me and said, “What did you think?” I was eighteen and I said “ I loved it and Clevon Little is a fox.l”
He laughed and gave me a hug.
When life was fun and we were moving closer to understanding.
