"Do you know how hard you have to work to make Eddie Murphy unfunny in a comedy?" 😂😂
Yeah for a movie with so many heavy hitters it was a struggle to finish
there was NO chemistry between them!!!! I was like whyyyyyyyy
Those two butterballs had no romantic/sexual chemistry whatsoever....zero. NADA. ZILCH!!!
It was cringy seeing them in bed....fully clothed 🤣🤣🤣 with socks on🤣🤣🤣
The casting director had one job to do!!!
Not Kenya Barris about to remake The Wiz 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 y’all were need to get on this situation ASAP.
What you said in the video were my exact thoughts. I actually liked Grown-ish because it was relatable to me. Kenya Barris is a one trick pony that writes from a perspective that only him and others with the same privileges experience.
I really hate how Black women/girls (unambiguous) are being replaced with biracial women and girls. It’s almost erasure at this point.
"Almost" yeah people need to let that 1 drop rule ish go.
His wife is biracial that's why. We all saw how he handled the colorism episode in Black-ish
👀
YESS. This here. He writes Black people for White people. I've always felt that. His works just make me think of all the boujee Blacks that I usually want nothing at all to do with irl hahaha
I do not support Rainbow draft videos alphabet signs symbol votes even in this you tube video abd in you people. Kenya Barris is complicated film with same color symbols.Blackish not about Toss it about Kenyas wife .
This movie was definitely giving Tubi vibes. Sorry but it was just disconnected in so many ways. I agree with everything you said it’s such a shame to have wasted this great cast
Kenya Barris has had a color complex for YEARS. I rewatched an episode of Soul Food not too long ago, centered around Ahmad and his 'preference' for white/light skinned/biracial girls. He argued to his brownskinned mother in the end that it wasn't because he hated himself, it was just what he liked. Basically made the mom out to be the villain in the episode like she was unreasonable in her observation and Ahmad's father chewed her out like her concerns were crazy.
It was almost like the writer had something to prove🤔. Well lo and behold, Kenya Barris wrote the episode🤦🏾♀️
In general, it's like he's trying to create the 'new' black household. Everyone is light/mixed but goes out of their way to prove they are still pro black. Very weird.
wow cause i thought that episode was so poorly written and come to find out it’s cause kenya barris was behind it
@@sinaitome8764 Exactly! Especially because everyone was treating it like a non issue. Even her sisters! The problem wasn't really explored or given any complexity. Maxine was basically told to shut up about it & that it was her issue, not Ahmad's nor society's. Who knew that mess of an episode would become the man's entire career?
Omg, I remember not liking that episode so much that I went to school and started up a whole colorism (we called it shadism at the time) convo. The episode touched on an issue only to mishandled it so drastically.
@@FromMiamiWithLuv Wowow! I totally understand why it impacted you so much at the time. I also didn't like the episode and never forgot it. I think many of us were turned off by it. Fast forward to today & Barris has created an entire universe around this, smh.
Wow! This explains...a LOT about his psyche. Spot on.
How did they even green light this without a chemistry read
I feel like Lauren London got roles because she was pretty that's it
The more I hear about this movie, the less inclined I am to watch it. As you said the age of the actors is a problem, they are both pushing 40. They may be portraying younger characters in the movie, but I have a hard time believing the parental acceptance is as important as though they were 22. I thought that I wanted to watch this movie, but I think that I would prefer to use that time some other way.
It's something to watch but yeah it's not good 😂😂
I am glad to know I'm not the only one that felt this way about this movie. I was so disappointed by the end of this movie. I can honestly say this is the first time I watched Eddie and didn't crack a smile the entire time. I laughed and enjoyed myself more with your review than I did the movie.
I really wanted to like this movie but I got nothing but disappointment and constant cringe.
The reason you felt more connection to The Cosby Show than to Blackish is because The Cosby Show had more developed dialogue and highly displayed black culture and the arts all throughout the show. It also had the "very black" spinoff "A Different World."
On top of which, both shows showed the array in spectrum of black skin colors in both men and women. They did a great job on both of those shows. This is part of why I hate that Bill Cosby tainted his legacy because those two shows are iconic for the culture.
Well said. I sometimes do like to watch Blackish. Its an enjoyable sitcom. But you're completely right. TCS and ADW are just better sitcoms. Acting,dialogue,writing etc. They don't need to explain blackness. Its displayed all over the place in different contexts.
Exactly! They even had black psychologists on set to make sure that there were no subliminal harmful messages.
I loved The Get Down!! I am still mad that they left us hanging
As a black woman in an interracial marriage. I felt this movie was so cringe and if your parents actions cause you to break y’all wasn’t that in love anyways.All the jokes you could see coming from a mile away.Guess Who and Something New were way better than this.Please give me my two hours back.
His shows are biracial & honestly nowadays there are barely any shows will fully blooded black people in tv. It’s crazy how tv shows are going backwards when we have shows in the 90s like a show living single. It’s definitely erasure. Lord knows I don’t want it to feel like I’m banishing biracial people but the world needs to realize that having two different race parents not fully blooded black parents there is a difference & that’s okay. Being different is not bad but we deserve shows that cater to us too not saying take roles away from biracial people.
You are apart of community but you are apart of white peoples as well no matter what anybody tries to say. I still can’t believe they have identity issues all because someone wanted to deny them it’s sad. But humans always want to OTHER someone they done it to us African black people since the beginning of time. Divide & conquer because even though it says American at the end we are not from here we are African periodt. That’s a whole nother convo there tho.
Kenya Barris is a one trick Pony. I really liked Black-ish when it 1st came out. Then after a while it got to be the same sandwich, just with different bread. It was always a race sandwich. Grownish started good, but then they decided to repeat the cycle again with Junior going to school. And black AF was just black-ish on Netflix.
Issa Rae would’ve been a better choice as Jonah’s love interest. I think they would’ve had better chemistry. Lauren London is stunning but she is a weak actor and can we get another story beside the typical black and white love story?
Oop not a weak actor
I’m glad you brought up the point about the casting of the parents.
THANK YOU for articulating my issues with Kenya Barris!!! I didn't know that about his marriage but that explains the RELENTLESS propagandizing of it into his work, like he's made it his life mission to make sure Loving v. Virginia is never overturned. Overall this was a very well-done review, and I'm glad to be subscribed 😄
GIRL. Thank you for saying EVERYTHING that needed to be said!🗣🙏🏽 These are my feelings to a T.
Let’s be honest..does Kenya Buress like black people, especially black women?
It doesn’t look like it.
I fought through this movie. I tried to pick kernels out of it, but I needed a sifter for this one. The chemistry between Jonah and Lauren was uncomfortable to watch. How can a movie with Eddie and Jonah not be funny?
funniest part of the film was David Duchovny serenading Lauren’s character with John Legend on the piano. It was the most realistic scene, not blatantly racist but still a bit tone deaf (yet not offensive). Julia Louis Dreyfus antics on the other-hand were just extreme (as were Eddie Murphy’s).
In Guess Who the mother and daughters had the same skin complexion. Bernie Mac is dark skinned but I wouldn’t say it was far fetched for them to look lighter.
He created a bad Eddie Murphy movie that finally dethroned Pluto Nash
😂😂😂Not Pluto Nash!!!
The movie lost me at Jonah Hill and Lauren London being a couple. And the kiss they had was green screened. Im sorry but Lauren cant act🤷♀️
Lauren can't act for s****. She's been on light-skinned preference treatment for far too long.
Don’t be sorry. She never could act. Wish more people would call her out on this
@Happy Thoughts lmao!!! Why was he terrible?
I just always see her as NuNu or Nipsey’s wifey she’s pretty girl privilege as she can be mediocre and gain weight and still be great but someone like viola Davis would have to study acting for years to be taken serious
she truly is
I gave the movie a shot because I try to keep an open mind. For all his accomplishments, Barris has a limited range and it shows. I feel like Jonah Hill would've done a better job. There was no heart to this film. It wasn't awkward in a fun way. The jokes were played and obvious. All the performances felt stiff and contrived from a group of great actors. It got tedious real quick. And the ending was dumb.
Fair points, but I'm a bit confused what it is that Jonah Hill would have done better? He was the co-writer and co-producer if I'm not mistaken. They both seem to responsible for this one.
I watched The Lovebirds last night. The character development was done shockingly well. The end was so predictable yet literally one of the most satisfying endings I’ve experienced in a while. After seeing this movie first my expectations a were incredibly low.
Watched it last night. Issa and kumail were very believable as a couple we forgive the plot
@@mushmouf1400 lol exactly. They absolutely did the best with what they were given.
Are you kidding me they used cgi kisses
🤣🤣🤣🤣
11:30 “how long do we have to be here!” Hilarious subtle shade love how honest your reviews are you are not afraid to tell the truth
Yeah I wanted a different actress than Lauren I think Jonah was good for the role.
My takeaway was the CGI kiss! I had to go back and watch it. Wow. Just wow.
I think because of the me too movement and intimacy coordinators CGI kisses are going to be more common and they are going to improve.
Always look forward to your reviews! Congrats on all your success 🎉
Thank you so much!!❤❤❤
please do the Selena movie as your next video because the movie helped introduce Selena to thousands of new fans and has been part of continuing her legend, despite her shortened career but offers an opportunity to view the struggles of marginalised people or the other and the intersection of womanhood and culture.
You are telling it here. It was kinda disgusting. They also made Eddie unfunny here. This seemed to work HARD to make wypippo comfortable.
when i heard it would be a movie about an interracial couple and kenya barris was involved i already knew i wouldn’t be watching it but of course i gotta hear your review
I keep giving Kenya a chance and I can't anymore. All these good actors and this is what we got. Everything you said I said to my friends when watching. From the two dark brown parents and their biracial child, the complete lack of chemistry, the way the pacing spent too much time on stupid gags and glossed over the relationship to wrap it up so quickly at the end for a terrible CG kiss. We were cheated!!
I was so mad Nia Long added nothing to this movie except her name. I like all these actors and the only person I thought didn't feel like they were phoning it in was Deon Cole. Even though Julia Louis Dreyfus character irked me, I thought she was better than most of the cast because she really did get me hot and I did appreciate the ending apology from her. I dunno what is going on w/ Eddie Murphy. David Duchovney was...ok for what he did and I have met dads like him so I guess he was "real". Just not good and I wanted it to be soooo bad.
I didn’t even bother to watch this once i saw it was a Kenya B production. Your review of this was dope!
I'm so tired of this same interracial storyline about the significant other not getting along with the family of their partner. Lauren and Jonah had zero chemistry.
Lauren and Jonah are damn near 40 yrs old...they were too old to care that deeply about their family accepting their partner.
That’s what I’m saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Completely agree with the Whole Entire video. People on social media have the nerve to say this movie was amazing
As a black woman in the am actually relationship depicted in the movie, me and my fiancé found the movie to be very much focused on the parents and not their actual love story. The small parts we got of them actually being together and showcasing “love” wasn’t terrible.
Your opinion 🤷🏽♀️
Love craft country was amazing! It had almost every genre combined into that series. I loved it. I have to rewatch it. Although the main character is a biracial woman…..they did have a dark skinned black woman and her dark skinned daughter play important roles.
You said it all! Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you! 💕

Wow great review. I still never saw this but mostly because of time. But I never realize how his shows so “mimic” other shows 😮
Thanks for your great commentary, as always! One thing that hurts the movie is Jonah Hill's hair. Just sayin...
His hair was bothering me sooooo much. I t looked greasy to me. I thought I sounded crazy because I kep saying out aloud "but his hair tho". I couldn't let that go...I know it was gelled or moussed back, but it looked grimey and did not flatter him in my opinion.
Yes the hair was a CHOICE👏🏾😭

Side note 📝: The Huxtables had two biracials as daughters- Lisa Bonet & Sabrina Lebeauf. However, it worked for some reason 🤔🤔
In what hemisphere ,stratosphere and world was kenya thinking pairing Jonah hill with Lauren London.When I first seen the preview of the movie I was like ..
No...NOPEEEE..like what?!😫🤣
I think his wife is mixed and Tracy Ellis Ross character named after her
Hollyweird will take a trope and beat it into the ground. They have no new and exciting ideas. Just the same ole same ole 😫😫😫
I felt 100 percent identical to how you felt. The funniest lines were in the trailer. Thank you for capturing my own sentiments so eloquently. This film had no chemistry and I felt hard to believe them as a couple.
Thanks so much sis. Your video said everything that was in my head and what I wanted to say outloud.
Jonah and his partner on the podcast had great chemistry. Could have just made a movie bout them.
I can’t stand Jonah Hill so I’ve been avoiding this movie, but I Love your reviews So I’m here! 😂
Kenya Bariss though…………
i agreed with you on a # of your observances. Where was the 🥽🧪? It was SO PREDICTABLE!
Found your channel over the weekend by accident subscribed and have been binge watching since then and have been enjoying the content 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
There is nothing to comment. You nailed it with your analysis. Donald Glover should have written and directed this, as well as the sequel to Coming to America.
I’m sooo glad you reviewed this movie!
Been anticipating your take on this one! I thought it was funny, but yeah, I agree with you...the chemistry was BEYOND lacking. Love your review! ❤
How you have all those heavy hitters in your movie and fumble the ball like that?
Movies like:
Guess Who
Rich Asian People
Our Family Wedding
And so on
Everyone had great chemistry with each other and great drama.
Plus, it took me a long time to finish watching Black-ish.
I just started watching all of it last year.
But damn when I first saw this movie I knew I wasn't going to like it by the preview.
I watched it was my family and I kind of liked a bit of it but I hated it because I seen better.
*Crazy Rich Asians
@@tionak yeah your right my bad
@Happy Thoughts honestly, he made the show.
I don't really like Zoey that much
❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 amazing analysis as always!
You hit the nail on the head 🎉
I'm over obvious remakes. So, I never saw it but enjoyed your review.
Hey Tyra you should start a podcast
This movie was horrible and so cringe. I question anybody's taste in movies who says it was good. I'm also seeing ppl give Lauren London a pass for not having chemistry because of Nipsey's death... ummmm that's literally the whole point of acting. To embody somebody different.... She's literally the Saweetie of acting. Who keeps giving this girl role starring roles!
Jonah and Lauren didn’t have chemistry, which is a shame because this could’ve been a good movie
No lies told here Ty ☕️ I enjoyed watching your review waaay more than actually watching that tired a$$ movie
Yes this movie was bone dry! The best part was when she snatched off Careesha’s wig😂😂 the acting was pure in that moment 😂
The information about Kenya Barris at the start of the video is in my opinion your best work thanks to your wisdom and honesty about Kenya and the industry as a whole. I don't know where to start...I believe that there is nothing wrong with doing interracial relationships in shows/movies but it has to be done well than putting in the checkmark to please some people online, it sounds like the You People movie was boring to watch and I agree with the criticism. Sounds like Kenya is the new Tyler Perry in that when you find out that Kenya is doing this the eyes are ready to roll back like The Undertaker because he's a one-trick pony and it's the same shit as the other movies/shows that he did, plus he's doing the remake of The Wizard of Oz and I wonder if the casting of Dorothy is going to be Ariel 2.0 I would not be surprised if that happens and I did defend the casting of Ariel in the remake but the movie had to be promising than a lackluster so I hope that the remake of The Wizard of Oz is good than another lackluster heartless movie. 👍❤️
Wait was the cgi kiss thing for real? I thought that was just a joke on Twitter lol
Bravo
Girllllllla my husband and I struggled to get through this movie!! We maybe watched 30 mins before giving up 🥴
I'm only liking this video for your review NOT the movie itself, and I didn't even watch the movie tbh lol🤣. I got heavy spoilers from my homegirl and I found it ridiculous that someone like Jonah Hill could bag someone like Lauren London, (not to hate on anyone's love story, cuz love is love and i'm sure this has happened before) but be fr. Jonah's character and the constant lying pissed me off. Lying about still using COCAINE, lying about that whack ass ring he proposed to her with, lying and pretending to be deep( wannabe black) and . His parents were clearly uncomfortable with him bringing home a black girl, especially the mother and all her micro-aggressions ;they were definitely written as the type of white people who "don't see color" ,but that's problematic when dating outside your community. These types of conversations considering the circumstances are necessary especially in America and it seems like too much of a hassle, especially when they don't respect each other's cultures. Honestly, the beautiful Nia Long and Eddie Murphy and his comedic presence is probably what would make me check it out and nothing else. Sorry for the long rambles girl😝😂
Both Jonah and Lauren are great as this Black/Jewish interracial couple but the writing in this film is unbelievably I won’t say it awful I will say bad terrible screenplay from Jonah himself and Mr. Harris as well. I’ve more disappointed the fact we’re seen Eddie Murphy, Nia Long, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny playing Black Muslim Family and Jewish Family going head to head figure it out are they’re perfect together. Also, the movie trying to us who’s the bad parents and the idiots my biggest concerns is Kenya Harris going to continue making these interracial stereotypes or keep making television shows?.
Jonah Hill will make his first directorial debut Mid90s which I seen and loved is the last person you expect teaming up with Kenya Harris.
👎🏾 2/5
I love everything about this video
💯 facts
I understand now why Kenya B named his show Black-ish. I was offended on the name alone when the show first came out. Esp when I saw the skin tone of the characters. Which kinda matches his skin tone. I'm not coming at him with the School Daze approach, I'm just saying, I understand why he did what he did.
Could you review the fifth episode of Wu Tang American Saga
I agree with everything you said 😭 this movie was terrible! I didn’t laugh not one time (a total waste of time)
Great review, this film was very bland, there was no chemistry, I only watched about 30min turn it off, I watched Guess who's coming to Dinner for the 100th time, my top 5 favorite films of all time
Thank you for saying EVERYTHING I was thinking. Haven't seen such a good cast squandered this bad since Coming to America 2. I hope racists of no race ever see this because it would just leave them more racist than they began with.
I would so listen
You people,
Basically neither of them needed sibling's cus we just seen Lauren's brother once at the coffee shop when we met Eddie.
And seems like his sister just was put in the movie (and made her gay because of course...) To flirt with Lauren when he brought her home.
My favorite characters was Eddie and Julia. Eddie played a good straight man comedy roll in this to me.Especially scenes wit Mike Epps.And Julia seems like every show I see her in is hilarious.I think I can watch it again when I'm bored in the background. I'm never watching coming 2 america again.
Also I'm throwed on these A list actors wanted to do this in this movie. Makes me scratch my head and say ''O so this is how ya'll see us now''?
Damn this is a great review.
Thank You!
My thing is how does Nia Long and Eddie Murphy produce a Lauren London?
Hill looked disgusting like he needed a bath, the hair was terrible, it wasn't a realistic pairing. They should have hired someone else. Coming to America was trash I was so upset.
Yeah Jonah looked like he didnt clean his beard or brush his teeth 🙄
the movie was pretty terrible, but so is lauren's acting. she might've been the reason they had zero chemistry
This was KB? I should’ve known. He always somehow manages to mess up the black experience. 😩
Chile could not watch this movie!! We fast forwarded through some of it and were disappointed at the lack of comedy
😂 I'm dead
The thing thats interesting about this commentary is that you lumped shes gotta have it reboot with the good shows and that show is surface level af as far as political commentary.
I really appreciated the 1st season of Shes Gotta Have It
please do the Selena movie as your next video because the movie helped introduce Selena to thousands of new fans and has been part of continuing her legend, despite her shortened career but offers an opportunity to view the struggles of marginalised people or the other and the intersection of womanhood and culture.
If Jonah Hill went clean shaven with that hair style he'd look like ever middle aged man in the early 2000s'. Such a strange time men with Sun in, in their slick backed hair.
I feel the same way about this movie
Certain parts were cute but as a whole this movie is 🚮 & I hate that, the casting was good the lil previews were ok so that made me want to watch all just to end up disappointed. Throughout the movie they looked like friends or a marriage set up by their parents, the physical moments were speed up & bypassed fast as hell lol I couldn’t tell if they kissed or bumped four heads. It’s like she just took this role just to put herself out there more or maybe they switched the dude who originally suppose to play the boyfriend 😂idk the way she was acting I would thought he smelled funny & he seemed very cautious with how he touched her. All weird
Kenya Barris is nice, his shows and movies are nice, he shouldn't have casted Lauren London, didn't fit
I thought it was funny. But that’s it. Oh and I liked the cinematography.
I might be the minority. I never connected to The Cosby Show, loooved A Different World, but blackish had my number because that show could send me into laughing fits at times. But yeah I'm with you 100% on the other stuff.
I wanted to see it because of Eddie Murphy, but the way you explained... This scenario has been done to death🤷🏾♀️. I apologize if I seem insensitive to this comment, but I thought Muslims have a covering or hajib (hopefully I said that correctly) over their heads?
please do the Selena movie as your next video because the movie helped introduce Selena to thousands of new fans and has been part of continuing her legend, despite her shortened career but offers an opportunity to view the struggles of marginalised people or the other and the intersection of womanhood and culture.
lets be real if they got another female lead this movie would have been better
I could finish the movie, it was a no for me
