This film is written by the creators of MADtv, Fax Bahr, Ethan Taylor and Adam Small, who also serve as producers.

The character of "B-Rad" originally appeared in Jamie Kennedy's hidden camera show, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, but started in his stand-up routine when he was starting out.

[edit] Plot

The film centers on the family life of Bill Gluckman, a wealthy white Jewish senator from Malibu, California who is running for the office of Governor of California. His son Brad dresses, speaks, and acts as if he were a gangster from the inner city, preferring to go by the nickname "B-Rad" despite never having encoutered poverty or crime. As a result, members of Brad's father's political campaign, led by Tom Gibbons, are concerned that Brad's idiotic, outlandish behavior will ruin his father's chance at being elected.

The campaign team members hire two actors, who don't know anymore about inner-city life than B-Rad, to act as gang members, kidnap him, and take him to South Central Los Angeles where they hope Brad will be "scared white" after witnessing what life is really like for real gangsters and impoverished African-Americans. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the plan backfires after Brad attempts to associate himself with members of the gang community and subsequently gets himself and the actors hired to guide him into trouble.
