The Lawn Boy (2008 Video)
2/10
Jungle fever fizzles
13 September 2012
It's time for jungle fever when attractive white executive Jennifer (Melissa Odom in film debut) finds herself beguiled with her lawnmower man Michael (Jordan Spradley) who happens to be African-American.

It was mutual attraction. Plenty of sensual day-dreams, flirtatious encounters and double entendre by both parties. Starts off on the usual racially induced reasons for white-woman-black-male sexual tension but soon takes the rom-com approach to show the realities of interracial relationships. There are no grey areas when issues and differences are literally black and white.

Very low budget indie productions shot in Fort Worth, Texas with sole video camera fails to register on any levels. The stupid ending just makes it worse. Except for Odom, the rest of the cast are walking clichés. Spradley bears a striking resemblance to Martin Lawrence in looks and mannerism.
