Emergency
Three college roommates, Sean, Kunle, & Carlos, find an unconscious stranger in their house. An immediate reaction to just call 911 is rejected because of their fear that “police will shoot first & ask questions later” given that they are black & Latino & this young girl is white. They debate how to help this poor girl & finally decide to drop her off at a hospital. What ensues is a comedy of errors & mishaps as their plans for a night of wild frat parties get detoured into a paranoid trip to the emergency room while being tracked by concerned individuals. This is a comedy/drama with a satirical message. Save the girl, save the project, & save the friendship.
Alien gives it 2½ “Goldilocks & the 3 Bears” stars out of 4.
