Cinquenta Tons de Preto

Marlon takes aim at everyone in his humor in this movie. I found his political jokes quite funny.

I really enjoyed the way they laid it into the writers and makers of the original movie. I never saw it because I thought the entire premise was sick and ridiculous. My view of that movie is pretty much in line with Marlon's, and his remake gave me many good laughs.

There were many parts which could offend women, different races, political views, but especially fans of the original movie. lol.

He does not hold back though, and I always find him to be original and funny. Just a little more effort and time on some of these and he could make them much bigger for all to enjoy. Thanks Marlon for all your works.

"Fifty Shades of Black" (2016) is an entertaining film. The story is a direct parody of "Fifty Shades of Grey" where college student, Hannah Steele played by Kali Hawk, falls for unorthodox billionaire, Christian Black played by Marlon Wayans, but his sexual practices put a strain on what could become a beautiful relationship. The story is there for what could have been a heavy dose of comedy, but it doesn't seem to mesh well as the film could have.

The director, Michael Tiddes known for over the top comedies like "A Haunted House" (2013), stayed true the style of comedy. Ever comedic take had funny laced in the dialogue or visuals and then amplified to drive it home. Occasionally it was a bit much. The music that filled most of the film was very intertwining and relatively spot on but, there were a few lapses in the sound department. Some of the voice-overs missed the mark and took away from the film. Overall, it was just OK but, still an enjoyably film.

If you're not a Wayans film, don't watch this. If you are, you'll enjoy it. It's not their best, but is better than much of their most recent stuff. I found myself laughing out loud several times - though the 2nd half wasn't as good. I'm surprised at some of the reviews - appearing shocked at the content! Why would you watch a parody of a sado-masochistic movie if you're not expecting potty humor??

I have always been a huge fan of parodies, so I was looking forward to this movie. My expectations were realistic. Puns, slapstick humor, and generally sophomoric humor are fine by me. These parodies don't take themselves too seriously, and neither do I. The wife and I went to the theater expecting some lighthearted fun. But, what we saw was anything but fun or funny.

This film's attempts to parody the plot of Fifty Shades of Grey were overshadowed by the stilted dialogue, lame sight gags, and ineffectual attempts to get a rise out of the audience with tired racial stereotyping and racist humor. Sexual humor was expected. But I did expect some of it to be funny. It wasn't. Most of the gags in the film were greeted by dead silence in the theater and blank stares at the screen by my fellow theater goers.

We talked about walking out of the movie after the first scene, and every scene after that until we finally did walk out 20 minutes into the movie.

Maybe there was a funny joke in that movie later on, but I am sure I will not be giving this movie a second chance. It is one of the worst movies I have even seen.

I find it strange that Marlon Wayans found the need to parody what is already hands down the funnest movie of 2015. Does a bad movie, really need a parody? Seems redundant, but they did it.

50 shades of black has some decent jokes that poke fun at how outrageous 50 Shades of Grey is (although my favorite bit was one that parodied Whiplash with Florence Henderson playing a music teacher training young boys to use their "instruments"), but the laughs are not constant enough through the entire movie to justify the money spent.

It's good that Wanyans has no problem making light of himself, cause it's those skits that made for the most laugh out loud experience , but he also has no problem making a joke at someone else's expense. I probability would not care if the jokes were funny. There recent though, with a joke about the 2016 presidential campaign thrown in the mix.

It's packed with enough laughs to get something out of it, but the material used to make this was too weak itself for this movie to be all that good.
