The Breaks Movie Review 1999

White Irish kid gets adopted by a black family in South Central L.A. and naturally grows up to think of himself as a homeboy. But his adoptive mom is tired of his shenanigans and gives him one simple task to do--bring home a carton of milk by supper--or else. Why isn't this as easy as it sounds ('cause it certainly is as dumb).
