It definitely was a poor portrayal of Nigerians, nothing was redeeming about
any "Nigerians" in the film (from what I could gleam, I don't think they were
speaking any languages of Nigeria... definitely was not Yoruba or Ebo spoken by
the "Nigerians"). Overall it was a good movie.

Jelani Cobb thought it was racist, self-absolving, Africa-denigrating bs.
