He didn't give up, he got down.
Mark Watson (C. Thomas Howell) needs a scholarship to get into Harvard Law School. There's one available for a black student. The only problem is that Mark is not black... yet. But thanks to an overdose of tanning pills, a new hair-do and a lowered voice, he miraculously passes for an African-American and receives a full tuition. Now with the help of his excessive best friend (Arye Gross), a fierce professor (James Earl Jones) and the beautiful classmate (Rae Dawn Chong) he falls in love with, Mark is about to learn some once-in-a-lifetime lessons about racism, discrimination, sex-crazed white girls and basketball, Leslie Nielsen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus co-star in this wild hit comedy filled with heart, soul and the hilarious truths that color us all.
