I was desperate for something new to watch during these pandemic times when even the premium channels are showing movies OLDER than me!! I am over FIFTY!!
This movie had literally EVERY C list black comedian, and the usual list of low level black actors like the ubiquitous Clifton Powell! It seems Clifton will say yes to be at the opening of a new McDonald's!! Kevin Hart is the star of this embarrassing fiasco, I know people love his little manic ass but THIS "movie" is like watching celluloid diarrhea!! It looks like it was filmed on a cheap cellphone camera by a BLIND man, and written by someone who is on heavy drugs..or SHOULD be!!!

This movie won't appeal to everyone, especially today, due to all the "Wokeness" so prevalent and so demeaning in our society. It was an extremely well done satire of all of the stereotypes: black, white, Italian, police, women, men, prostitutes, "John's", etc. And the folks who wanted to be like each of those stereotypical people. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we will never get any better. And this movie definitely laughs at each and every stereotype. While I didn't find all of the jokes to be funny, most of them were. What more can you ask for but an entertaining movie that makes it's point well?
I have to say that i'm not aware of other Parr's films but this one is truly funny as hell.
He graped all the stereotypes about black people and used it in a hilarious way. This is what we call in Greece "To knowing myself". The acting is exceptional for this kind of movie and the characters has been treated with absolute care one by one. It's a well structured comedy and all the quotes and impersonations of other familiar people are just brilliant and hilarious.
The impersonation of D.Washington from the movie "Trainign Day" was one of the greatest scenes in the film. Same for the actress who's playing the pageant girl, i couldn't breath cause of the laughs. But as i said above, the thing that does this film such a great comedy is Rus. Parr's brilliant way to use all the stereotypes into a self-sarcastic way.
Don't miss. I don't know if i should recommend to you to go to the theaters but definitely get it on DVD. It's just a great comedy for a long time now. Enjoy it.
