Do You Wanna Know a Secret (2001)
The answer to the titular question is most certainly "no", but while DYWKAS is an utterly pitiful and derivative slasher whose main draw is the increasingly Jean-Claude Van Damme-like Joey Lawrence, it actually has some interesting racial overtones. The story finds a group of college kids on vacation in Florida, when a serious case of death breaks out. The token black guy, Oz (Tom Jay Jones, smartly keeping his middle name) is arrested for the murders by a Southern sheriff caricature straight out of In the Heat of the Night. As he drags Oz away, calling him "boy", ever-valiant Lawrence exclaims, "What's next, a public hanging?" After Oz's lawyer gets him out of jail, he goes after the killer and not only doesn't die, but he almost catches the bad guy single-handedly! (Almost.) And our metrosexual "hero" Lawrence doesn't end up getting to save the day; he doesn't even get the girl. All he gets in the end is his head chopped off. (Sadly, we don't get to delight in seeing it happen.)

The best 3 seconds of the movie. |
