At this point if you are still trying to break down a parody movie from every angle and inspect it then you are wasting your time. Parody movies are literally designed to not be a good movie. The only thing it's for is to make you laugh. Everyone knows this so why every time a new one is made people expect more? Honestly these type of movies are for people who like to laugh and usually don't care how it turns out. I understand some of you may feel if it's a theatrical release then it should be at least worth the money but it's very hard to please everyone when it comes to music and art and it has always come down to a preference thing. I am giving this a 10 out of 10 because it made me laugh the whole time and that's all these movies are made for. I expected nothing else from it and I got nothing else from it.There was no great story line or amazing actors just good Ole parody humor.
Have you ever seen a movie that represents reality poorly? Ah, well. It is a comedy, right?
I like Mike Epps, but this film might as well have been a cartoon. There were a few short laughs; The biggest laugh by far was Mike Tyson's brief role. He had me rolling. The rest of the comedy was based on "stuck in the 1930's" style racist humor.
White people are represented as universally villainous and overtly racist; Which is supposed to be a joke, but the lines just seem so unnatural that there is no way it could sound authentic. Its like someone went through the film in post production and tried to ad-lib some racist white people from books written a century ago.
I was mostly disappointed in the comedy, bored by the action, and even a great scene with Charlie Murphy couldn't raise the bar on this film. The kids were annoying, the family was deranged, and Mike Epps himself seems too old for the sh*t-head gangsta roles he always seems to get. Casually dropping the N-bomb while looking disinterested and lanky was his main appeal in most films and I think the amusement of that character has run it's course.
Mike, you can play roles where the character has an IQ over 70, I promise! Err...I assume you can.

Mike epps... with this movie he has proved proved he officially needs acting and comedy lessons. His acting is atrocious his ability to execute or tell jokes is practically none existent. Th "movie" itself is just a waste of time at best , its boring , its NOT funny at all terrible writing , bad casting , some of the worst acting and the attempts of comedy relief are painfully bad! Its one of the worst movies I've watched all year hands down and honestly its probably one of the worst films I've ever watched...... I wish i could say something good about this i really do , But calling this a comedy is a reach let alone a movie , its sad that anyone would let themselves be part of something they have to know is just a waste of every ones time and trash from the beginning. Money means more then quality , standards , being good at what you do and or love , integrity and especially more then helping others or making other happy... quite sad from any perspective or position in life. i'm only in my 20s and i realize the importance of those qualities and how that if even 1 in 5 people practiced that in there own life and simply learned to be passionate , do the best you can in every situation , have integrity, care for others , and hold ourselves to a higher standard. With that little effort this world would be as amazing as it is beautiful an vast! Imagine...
Thats My Review - Take Care Everyone & God Bless ,I Hope We ALL Find Happiness in not only our personal lives but as a whole!Thats a Dream we can all embrace.

Don't take it too seriously...it's just a bit of fun!
Non-stop nonsense with the same budget as one week's grocery shopping!
Mike Epps' one-liners are hilarious though!
The trailer for the upcoming sequel looks promising.

So Meet the blacks is a parody of film, the Purge. Most of the comedy that I'm seeing comes from the fact that they are giving the same message as the Purge only being a lot more up front about it.
The Blacks stumbled upon some money and moved from the ghettos of Chi-Town to a luxurious space in Beverly Hills, where they thought they made it to a social status that made them immune form the annual purge, but of course when it begins, guess who all the purgers on the block come after. In all fairness, the neighborhood's dislike of the new family lowering their property value is the least of the Blacks' worries.
It's works as a look on social commentary the same way the Purge did. It also works better if you think of it as a series of sketches on a comedy show. Not every sketch is good but I got some laughs from George Lopez who played president La Bama ( a Mexican parody of President Obama). The great Charlie Murphy who plays the gangster the blacks stole money from to movie to Beverly Hills, and Mike Tyson who does not need to try hard to be funny.
Also like to give a shout out to the the gorgeous Latina they got to play Step-MILF Mrs. Black. From the moment she came on the screen her only job was to be eye candy and she did the job well and excelled.
I'm taking the movie for what it is. It's not Scary movie it's Scary movie 5 (which also features Iron Mike). It's not going to win any awards or gain an critical acclaim, but it made me laugh. Job well done.
