There’s no question that history will remember Marlon Wayans as a complete and utter screwball – and I don’t mean for that to sound like a harsh criticism, either. Wayans may not contribute to the world of cinema in a traditional fashion – by undertaking roles of, well – any kind of sustainable substance. Quite simply – he willfully (and happily, fro the looks of it) makes a living by mocking easily mock-able products.
Most famously, Wayans has made some of Hollwyood’s finest modern productions into the butt of his jokes – like Boyz n the Hood (Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood), Scream (Scary Movie), and Paranormal Activity (A Haunted House). And, whether you embrace his parody antics or not – it’s impossible to deny his head-scratching box office draw.
In Wayan’s latest project, Fifty Shades of Black, the film spends the vast majority of its runtime mocking the popular novel-to-film adaptation, Fifty Shades of Grey – almost verbatim. But – in case you didn’t see …show more content…
And, with that sentiment in mind – it succeeds in doing so. Obviously, this is far from Marlon Wayan’s best work, nor is it a memorable parody – like Scary Movies or Spaceballs. However, despite what some may say about it, Fifty Shades of Black – similar in tone as Dirty Grandpa – are not bad films. They simply set out to satisfy a specific demographic. In the end, though, Fifty Shades of Black will be yet another contender for the worst movie of the year. Fortunately, that’s a determination made by people that simply don’t understand what they’re watching and why they’re watching it. On that note, I’ll happily admit that Fifty Shades of Black was time well spent for me, but then again, I enjoy Marlon Wayans and his brand of humor. So, sexual innuendo and penis jokes galore are your thing, this film will absolutely be worth you
