A California white boy, swallowing mega-doses of tanning pills, tries to pass for black (and in Boston, of all places) in order to qualify for a full-tuition scholarship to Harvard Law School. C. Thomas Howell's makeup, for a start, is passable; and the rest, as any liberal will be obliged to allow, is easy. The writing (by Carol Black) and directing (by Steve Miner) are smoothly contrived, seldom crassly contrived, but always shallowly contrived, and at long last annoyingly contrived. With Rae Dawn Chong and James Earl Jones. (1986) — Duncan Shepherd
