Meet the Blacks (2016) Reviews
Quite predictable, yet still funny-ish
After watching this film and seeing both sides of the argument. I was left (again) on the fence but a little bit to the good side. A pretty interesting purge parody movie, about a family moving to Beverly Hills during the purge and then getting ransacked. Obviously people will argue that this film is "racist", as per usual, and to some extent it kind of is, and obviously during the purge, everyone wants to kill them. But because its a comedy film, we should take everything as satire with a pinch of salt. From my point of view, its a funny comedy that made me laugh quite a lot, and i see no downside apart from the alleged "racism". This means, its not for everyone. But at the end of the day, my words to you are: If your easily offended, don't watch it. If your not, then why not give it a shot?
Awesome comedy
Meet The Blacks is a very funny comedy! I was a little pessimistic at first, I was afraid it would be too stereotypical but it had me in tears from beginning to end. It's a great parody of the movie The Purge (which I also loved by the way). The story: Carl Black moves his family to Beverly Hills thinking there's no annual purge there (a night where anybody can get away with murder); Shout out to Mike Epps, Lil Duval and Bresh Webb who are shining in this film! I did not really know Lil Duval but his role is hilarious! A lot of comedy legends are also appearing: Charlie Murphy, Paul Mooney...even Snoop Dogg is in it! Great job for a low-budget and independent film! I recommend anyone who wants a good laugh to go see it!
Tired of people complaining about Parody's
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.
Very funny movie
The folks who think it is dumb, racist, chauvinistic, lots of overused clichés, are wrong in my opinion. It is a really fun movie to unwind after a hard days work, i recommend it truly, especially to age 16-35, older folks would smirk at it, but they love to watch films like Mission impossible or James Bond. This is great movie in all. Made me smile. Now, in saying that, having seen movies like the purge, resident evil, saw movies, meet the parents, walking dead, this movie indeed takes a lot from those , that's why this movie is semi- called a parody. Seems similar to scream 2, scream 3, pretty clever graphics for a crazy family horror comedy. Was at one point thinking it was set near sun, was filmed in a hot weather. In this age of politically correct movies and countless re-makes and dynasty franchise blockbusters this is a nice departure into the world of silliness and craziness , which is a lovely thing and we should rejoice about that fact.
Don't Waste Your Time
I saw "Meet The Blacks", starring Mike Epps-The Hangover movies, Resident Evil:Extinction; Zulay Henao-If Loving You Is Wrong_tv, Takers; George Lopez-Spare Parts, Balls of Fury and Charlie Murphy-Are We There Yet?_tv, Night at the Museum. This is a parody of those Purge movies. You know the ones; they were about one day a year, any crime is legal for 12 hours. Mike plays a Chicagoan that comes into some money and decides to move his family out to Beverly Hills, thinking it will be safer among rich people. I know, it's a really thin plot device. The Purge is everywhere, right? Zulay, who is rather gorgeous in a Sofia Vergara way, plays Mike's wife. George plays the President, I think his name was something like El Bama- Hilarious, right? Charlie plays a guy from Chicago that follows Mike to get his hands on some of the money that Mike had come into. Most of the jokes are just dumb, unfunny or even stereotypical put downs of all types of races-they were equal opportunity insulters. There are a few cameos. I remember seeing Mike Tyson and Snoop Dogg. Overall, it's just not very good. It's rated "R" for language, violence, drug use and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 30 minutes. I would not buy this on DVD. I would not rent it either. If you really think you want to see it, I would wait until it comes on cable.
