Watermelon Man Review by Stan Heck


Watermelon Man is a 1970 film directed by Melvin Van Peebles. The movie was distributed by Columbia Pictures Corporation. It tells the story of a typical 1960s, somewhat bigoted white insurance salesman named Jeff Gerber who wakes up one morning to find that he has become black.



The movie has dated however its still one funny movie. Yes the title isn't PC however if you get beyond the the title you will laugh.



The movie has themes that still ring all so true today. You will laugh and most of all you will think, "Why am I laughing"?

*** Stars
