Baffling. By cosplaying hip hop, Vanilla Ice becomes a corny alternative to American(read: white) heteronormativity, to the point where whatever hip hop influences he adopted is barely recognizable as actual hip hop culture. The afterschool-special stylings of the film further enhances this deburring of any edge that Ice has and makes him a more Vanilla totem of free-spirited values for the female lead to hang onto as an escape from a more conservative mode of life.
Somehow, this movie came out the same year as Ice Cube’s “Death Certificate”.
