Meh. There were a few genuinely funny bits (I love the fact that their best friends don’t recognize them, and I actually laughed at the onlgoing Michelle Branch joke), but it was no surprise gem (unlike Sorority Boys, which was probably even less believable than White Chicks- if that’s possible- and hilarious!) ---

OK, not the sex-change angle, but I seem to remember trailers for a {late 80’s?} movie in which a white guy paints himself black in order to get into college, hilarity no doubt ensuing. Soul Guy? Soul Brother? Help me out here. ---

What’s that film where C.Thomas Howell plays himself and keeps saying “but i’m C.Thomas Howell, star of Soul Man, the highest grossing comedy of 1986”? Some post modern ironic comedy no doubt. Any ideas? ---

Well, I haven’t seen it, but I found Far Out Man on [imdb.com](http://imdb.com) that stars Tommy Chong. C. Thomas Howell is in that, as well at Rae Dawn (his love interest in Soul Man), who is Tommy Chong’s daughter. Is that it?
