This film is hilarious 😂 been laughing whole first hour. great comedy flicks. 8/10
Good movie!
Was this some kind of lowish budget comedy combined with a bit of horror type of movie? 🥴 Well at least the song at the end of the movie was more interesting and worth listening to than the whole movie..
Not funny at all, had to stop watching this cause it was so bad. Skip it
Carl Black (Mike Epps) absconds with drug money as he takes his family to lie low in a gated community in Beverly Hills. Being a dead beat, Carl has a lot of people looking for him leaving behind including baby mommas. On the night of "The Purge" they all come looking for him, even the clown ( Mike Tyson) he stiffed from his kid's birthday party. This is a spoof of "The Purge" and perhaps needed a better title. The bulk of the humor is racial and inter-racial as we contrast red bones vs. black people. I would suppose the African-American community will enjoy this comedy more than I did. While the film had its moments, the humor grew old with all the accidental and misdirected deaths. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Zulay Henao in swimsuit for eye candy.
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.
I can't believe I wasted my time on this. 90 odd minutes of my life that I will never get back. Stick with the first purge movie, not this toss.
The only reason I give this film two stars instead of one is the fact that the wife and daughter were nice to look at. There was a funny line where Carl says "lt feels like we're in a horror movie!" The story is rambling nonsense, acting is terrible and the jokes fall flat. The writing might be the worst I've ever encountered. In fact, it almost seemed like there was no writing, that the actors just made lines up as they went along in every scene. Almost like improv gone bad. The white villains express their racism with the most ridiculous comments. Yes, that's right, ridiculous even by racist standards. References to "Willis" from Diff'rent Strokes, New Balance tennis shoes. Ugh.
Other than the paid reviews giving it 9 or 10, the actual rating of this movie should be anywhere between 0 and 1 (out of 10 course). If you like people screaming and swearing and not a word that can be classified as remotely funny, then this movie is for you. Not worth even watching on rental. Overacting and crappy script coupled with equally terrible acting from every single actor...boy o boy this was one horrible movie....AVOID AT ALL COSTS
This movie stinks. I didin't even make it past the 20 min. mark. Therefore 1/10. A score of 6.1 is totally absurd but that's because there are not enough "independent" reviews. About the content of the movie a lot is already said. Bad acting, bad stereotypes, jokes that aren't funny at all 'cause the writers & producers can't grasp the concept of irony & sarcasm, it's just childish profanity, the camera work is cheap and shaky,... To keep it short, this is not even a B-movie, just low budget rubbish with a quasi stolen title, hoping to squeeze some money out of people with the premise they promise in the description.
