Loqueesha

I hope the man that wrote this gets therapy or prison either or. I hope that his parents are deeply ashamed of this movie because I would be.

I think I may have found the worst movie in recent history. Its Loqueesha. This movie is truly bad in every possible way. Its not the enjoyable "over the top/what am i even watching?" bad, like The Room. It's not the obviously low budget, "visible nylon strings attached to to jaws of a giant rubber spider" bad, like an Ed Wood film. And it definitely is not the "shock-camp, wink-wink, we're all in on the joke" bad like Sharknado or any of the intentionally hilariously bad offerings by The Asylum. It is just straight up bad. It is badly written and equally badly acted. The production is horrible, with cheap camera work, terrible editing and nonsensical green screen effects. The story and message are outdated, offensive, and misguided. Worst of all... it's supposed to be a comedy, but there are no funny scenes. It actually seems to be trying to send some sort of moralizing message, but does the exact opposite. Its hard to imagine this could have ever been released in this day and age. You can get a little taste from the trailer, but you can't really appreciate the full Badness unless you invest the whole 98 minutes. That's a big ask and extra challenging because it doesn't even really lend itself to be a drinking game, but perhaps one could find some already wasted friends and make it a simple stamina contest (like holding your breath or not blinking) to see who can last the longest without giving up. It's just that bad.

So I checked out the comedy Loqueesha. The film is about a bartender who is good at giving advise and needs money to send his son to a private school. He gets a job as a talk radio host but he does it in a voice of a black woman named Loqueesha and things go from there.

It struck some controversy last year as being racist and insensitive. Many could not believe the film was made and many took it as offensive and intolerant. And if a film strike that kind of controversy then I need to see it. The film has a whopping 1.2 on IMDB.

So is it as bad as everyone says? I say yes and not because of the film being racist or intolerant. Simply I did not find anything at all funny. Not a joke or gag works at all. Its just a total mess of incompetent film making. Also it caries some awful green screen effects and pretty bad adr voice over work. Also the film comes of a pretentious and smug like as if the director/star of the film was trying to say something deep with this film. Talk about a vanity project. Its a complete mess, its boring and most of all unfunny. It has my vote for worst movie of 2019 and one of the worst comedies I have ever seen.

As if the cheap production, uninspired cinematography and bad acting weren't enough; Jeremy Saville had to use his vanity project for a poisonous message. I can only imagine that the motivation for this project was that Saville was tired of losing arguments with strangers in bars whenever he voiced his deluded opinion that white men face more discrimination than anyone else in the modern world. There is a moment in this film where Saville wrote lines for an African woman that had her character admit that he was better at being black.

Do not see this sad movie. Let it be forgotten along with anyone that allowed it to come to light.

Making this film in this era is just about the worst idea a comedian could've come up with- I don't understand how this was released, let alone funded. This is the most nauseating vanity project I've ever watched; a comedian, in his self-professed infinite charm, wit and wisdom gets on his soapbox to school the rest of us about The Issues™

The twist? He's vocally masquerading as Sassy Black Lady™ (basically an inarguably offensive modern day equivalent to minstrel shows and blackface) because according to him, minorities and women are completely phasing white men out of the entertainment industry, or more specifically, radio. (as if talk-radio isn't already dominated by male conservatives- something they always seem to conveniently ignore in this discussion). But at the end of the day, It's also just writer-director-editor lead Jeremy Saville lampshading ("hey, as long as I address that the premise is totally racist at some point, I'll move on and it'll be forgiven, right?") it's completely awful- I mean, at one point, bartender Joe (Saville) claims to be a better black woman than a real one. I get that this in jest, but seriously?

It's almost kind of fascinating. On one hand, there's *maybe* a shred of Saville having innocent (yet very very misguided) intentions in making this, but on the other, it's such a clear vanity project about the guy playing himself so he can have a platform to vent about society's problems (or more specifically, the problems that comedians have run into in this modern "PC culture"). With all the lampshading Saville does, it's hard to not see him guilty of the racism he's supposedly denouncing.

Beyond all this, if you weren't offput by its reprehensible premise, the film is technically dull, has very poor production value, and there's absolutely no style or flavor to how it's filmed, acted, shot or edited. It's no doubt, an amateurish production through and through. As a whole, it's just flat-out embarrassing and shameful.
