Damn i feel the opposite. I thinks uts aged pretty well considering alot of the themes are just as relevant today within the upwardly mobile black working class

Tommy is a funny guy but he's a terrible actor. Him trying to be 'street' was laughable.

Boyz n tha hood has the same problem, it's hitting you over the head with it's Message. In addition, it's highly classist and basically promotes early 90's respectability politics
