G (2002 film)

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 29% of 28 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.7/10. The website's consensus reads: "Race and class struggles come to the Hamptons in this reworking of The Great Gatsby with a hip-hop flavor. Unfortunately, too many subplots and a lack of believable characters spoil an otherwise novel concept."^[1] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 42 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.^[2]

Roger Ebert was indifferent about the film overall ("I wondered why the clarity of Fitzgerald's story line was replaced by such a jumble of a plot"), and felt that its most interesting aspects were what it had to say about race, class and money in contemporary America.^[3] Scott Foundas in Variety was more positive ("a handsome, compelling drama... that more than stands on its own"), praising the acting and particularly Jones and Maxwell as the leads.^[4]
