Marlon Wayans put his physical comedy and multiple characterizations on display and carried pretty much the entire movie on his own. I wouldn't go comparing his effort to Eddaie Murphy but for a guy who makes his way being goofy and all over the place he did a good job in his multiple roles. I only wished he performed as well playing his regular character as he did the others. Russell is the star of this movie.

Off top, you have to like this style. Wayans have been making movies for decades. This latest is just the next in line. It has a solid storyline and it has the Wayans style of comedy. I've seen better movies but this is definitely not a one star movie. Forget the low reviews and check it out for yourself!
I grew up watching wayans brothers movies and marlon was my favourite, but my god what happened to him?? This movie if filled with old, tired and unfunny cliche bits (not even from his old movies, from generic comedies)
I have to assume the chemistry of the acting is due to the fact it's all the same person talking to each other but the script and dialogue is shockingly dull.
The storyline is half decent, and the idea for the movie is mildly interesting but it just doesn't hold up.
If they worked on the script a little more and tried some more progressive humour it might actually work as a half decent comedy, but if you compare this to the old stuff he used to do it's just awful.

Without doubt this is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I am slightly disappointed in myself for watching this all the way through.
Like the title says, this Nutty Professor-like movie is extremely painful and cringeworthy. If you like a B-rated 90's movie, this might be something for you, if you don't, i suggest you don't watch this.

I really wanted to like this film. Was hoping for some White Chicks vibes. But clearly i was mistaken. I found the first 30 minutes of the movie to be funny. And had a few laughs while watching. After than it wasn't even funny anymore. Really sad because usually
I find Wayans to be pretty funny. But lately he's gotten to comfy it feels. He's such a good actor and really does great impersonations, and does very well playing such messed up characters. The humor was just way to dull. It definitely lacked something.

Had a few laughs here and there throughout the movie. Not Marlon's best work in my opinion, but definitely not his worst. You can tell he put much effort into it and really enjoyed making it. The storyline is coherent and it's impressive how he manages to portray seven different charachters and keep their mannerisms apart. Although some of the characters aren't always believable and the acting is sometimes a little over the top, it still worked for me and I had a fun experience watching the film.

Marlon Wayans is hilarious. He's a great representative of his legendary family. He can do drama(Requiem For A Dream) and lowbrow comedy. He does great standup. White Girls is a classic movie for some..50 Shades Of Black is a great level of Wayans silliness. A Haunted House is dumb fun. But this film disappoints me...
No doubt playing six different characters takes talent, but the jokes were falling flat 85% of the time. Still, this may be good for those who want lighthearted silliness and no raunchiness-it's treading on the edge of being family-friendly. Still, the jokes fell flat. I wanted to like this movie but it was ridiculous, and not in a good way.
If you watch this film, do it for love and support of Marlon; like me you'll be entertained by the work he puts in as the sextuplets. Still we all have to hope that he gets better movies to display his wacky comedy.

I thought this was hilarious, nearly choked laughing at one point last night. And he did so well playing all the characters himself that I am sure is no mean feat. I don't understand all the bad reviews? Probably from younger ones that don't get that silly humour from years ago and are offended by everything ? I dunno. Loved it. Looking forward to the next one. Cliche but please bring out white chicks 2 🙏

This movie was its own, Marlon did good. If anybody was looking to compare it to the family show from his past you might not like it. Accept it for what it is a keep it moving. It was silly and funny, different personalities made you think of people from family, friends and coworkers. I liked it 👍

Really unfunny movie. People writing reviews saying if you don't find it funny you don't understand the culture. Get a grip. It's supposed to be a comedy. It's supposed to make you laugh. It's not funny and is in fact cringe worthy. Simple as that.

This is by far one of the worst Wayan movies out there, probably good for the low brow people out there who enjoy mindless quips and utterly stupid scenarios.
The Wayans were once funny, what happened?

This has to be the worst excuse of a film I have ever seen in my life! Like seriously who actually green lit this bull? Don't waste your time watching it, go out and watch insects walking on the ground it more entertaining than whatever this is.
Damon; "Goofy comedies" had their day in the 90's, when you were actually 35y.o.
Admittedly I didn't watch the whole movie, so I can only really critique the first 5 minutes.

Avoid
1 Star because I couldn't give 0 or 1/2
This is supposed to be a comedy but you will be hard pressed to even crack a smile during it
A weak and poor screenplay, make this movie a boring time. It's ok to try Eddie Murphy's formula, but with such high standards, you gotta make it real good. Unfortunately, the poor jokes, bad performing by Marlon, and utterly forgetable characters can make this one a worth the time. Skip this one, don't say I didn't warn you.

I don't know why everytime this actor does a movie they compare it to the others, they have to understand it's not the same movie, it's a whole different plot twist, I think because each movie he does has a different sense of humor and all of them are funny people just prefer the other one, This movie is really funny, I watched it with my cousin and we couldn't stop laughing at some moments lol, it's really enjoyable to watch, this movie doesn't deserve the hate honestly, I loved it, I agree some of his movies do have kind of a bad makeup style in it, I thought it's on purpose because it makes all of his movies 10x funnier you know. If you are always a realist this doesn't fit you, but if you get jokes and laugh in inappropriate scenarios or just get life in a fun way, you're going to love it!! 1000x recommended lol, Ignore all this hate in a lot of his movies, even the movie White Chicks is reallllyyy funny it's one of my fave, his movies don't say jokes they show them by really funny scenes, so if you laugh ONLY if someone said a joke and NOT by a moment or a scene that happened that might be embarrassing or something it's not your type.. Just watch it guys you won't regret it!!!!!!

Based on Marlon's miss after miss after miss track record last couple years I'm giving this movie a 2/10 based on the trailer alone. Please stop enabling him Netflix and pull the plug.

I don't why this movie is not highly rated but trust me it is a nice movie. If you can't find the movie funny then I think your problem is way bigger than the writer , the actors and the entire crew's talent.
There is a lot to learn. Don't mind the ratings enjoy the movie

His sister is by far the funniest. As the movie started I didn't have high hopes but i ended up being pleasantly surprised.

I can't understand how this is acceptable, I find it offensive. I would expound but I don't wish to be unpleasant or mean. This is as close to a 1 that I've given but honestly, don't waste your time. If you do, however and you enjoy it, I would love to hear from someone who can explain what was either humorous or entertaining objectively
No Comment...using time on this movie is like self sufocating...
