Hollywood Shuffle (1987)
Directed by Robert Townsend
“Bobby Taylor was on his way to becoming a star, when a funny thing happened...”
Comedy · 1h 21m
Aspiring actor and hot-dog stand employee Bobby Taylor catches the ire of his grandmother for auditioning for a role in the regrettably titled exploitation film "Jivetime Jimmy's Revenge." When Tinseltown Studios casts Taylor in the title role, he has a series of conflicted dreams satirizing African-American stereotypes in Hollywood, and must reconcile his career goals with his desire to remain a positive role model for his little brother.
