Spike Lee, the driving force behind this off-the-wall sexual sparring-match with jokes, is here seen as a kind of babbling black Woody Allen. He wrote, edited, directed and ultimately had the good sense to cast himself as the 'funny one' of the three lovers of the girl to whom the provocative title refers. The script is sharp and witty, but Lee's pacing is not all it might be, and the film only comes to life when he and his ideas are around. Tracy Camila Johns has a certain raw sexuality as the girl with three men in tow, none of them surely a permanent prospect, even though the film tries to sustain itself on the possibility that she might end up with one of them. Lee himself is obviously buzzing with talent and cinematic ideas and later moved into the big time with the likes of Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X.
