I love this movie...seen it a million times. It's one of those movies like Wild Cats, Mask or The Last Dragon that literally played on tv everyday. I was 8 yrs old so I don't remember the backlash. Everyone I knew liked it.
It’s def a true 80s film! 😂
Haven't seen this in decades. Won't see it again. Your review was hilarious as usual!
Absolutely not worth a second of your time! Appreciate you, my friend.
This was probably one of the funniest reviews I have ever seen from you guys. The sheer outrage throughout the entire review was so hilarious that I'm about to rewatch it as soon as I post this comment. I haven't seen this movie in years; I think I was a preteen when I watched it and it wasn't worth a rewatch. I did read that there was a lot of backlash when it came out (understandable) but I was completely baffled when I read that it was a box office hit. Oh, did you know that after the movie he dated and then married Rae Dawn Chong?😮
Thank you so much!! This absolutely isn’t worth one more second of your time.
WTF was Rae thinking?! I guess love really is love. Next time someone argues against gay marriage I’ll be like Rae Dawn Chong married C Thomas…after Soul Man! Clearly you can’t help who you love. 😂
@@KisstheReviews that’s a great argument! 🤣
I'm a fan of Soulman and I'm not unsubscribing😂
Good! We don’t begrudge people’s opinions…we just don’t want to hear them too often. 😂 😂
One comedy that definitely featured a joke on blackface done right (or at least done in such a way that was geniuinely funny), was "Silver Streak" from 1976.
Richard Pryor's character's reaction to Gene Wilder's attempt to pass for black said it all, "We'll make it past the cops. I just hope we don't see no Muslims."
Yes!! 😂
I love watching your videos but question for you. How did you come up with the name kiss the reviews?
Thank you! The name comes from Kiss the Girls. It is the first movie we reviewed and the reason behind the show. 😂
I remember when this came out, it wasn’t really considered problematic. I had no idea people were protesting this, but I was 13, so what did I know. I do remember thinking, So tanning pills really have that effect if you take a bunch of them. I was also thinking that he’s basically stealing a scholarship from someone who it was actually intended for, and we’re supposed to be rooting for this guy. I did like the scene where he was being obviously profiled when the cop who pulls him over after following him for a really long time. Since fish out of water comedies were popular during this time, I guess someone thought this would a good idea:)
Fish out of water is the nicest way anyone could put this! 😂
Many movies don't need a sequel. This movie doesn't need a sequel OR an original.
😂 Facts!!
Google has this as #4 most disturbing movie of all time. 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 Awesome…and accurate
Unfortunately, I'll have to watch this now to see if James Earl Jones says anything epic so I can super-impose audio over Darth Vader scenes.
I’ll be honest with you. It really sucks you have to suffer through this garbage but it will be awesome to see the finished Vader product.
I exceeded the recommended dosage 💀
Carol Black went on to write 115 episodes of The Wonder Years and I grew up on that show. This is baffling to me
Right?! My guess is a son or bf got rejected at Harvard and this was their response…or she did the Wonder Years bc the 60s-70s were bc still largely segregated so they knew she wouldn’t have to write black characters. 😂 🤷♂️
What is in your coffee Ms. Black?!! No need for Thomas to go blackface just be yourself. Get to know people.
Something tells me she uses a lot of creamer and WHite sugar. 😂
YES!
Ima watch this in a bit.
I might have more than one comment for this mf movie 😂
😂😂😂 This pos isn’t worth one of your words
@@KisstheReviews the only part of this movie that made me laugh out loud is that they went the extra step and made Sarah a single mother. The caucasity of it all 🤣
😂😂😂☠️ Straight from the mountains of Caucasus…to quote Katt Williams
@@KisstheReviews 🤣🤣
This movie is funny as fck, idc. Cancel culture will not allow media type people to ever admit to liking this movie. Almost every black person I know liked this movie growing up. This may not be true for this current generation, idk.
You can def think that. I agree that it’s hilarious but for different reasons. 😂
I've never seen tropic thunder and refuse to because of the r word to describe a disabled person that doesn't sit well with me
I get that. Like RDJ in blackface, if you don’t see it, you can’t get the context of why that word was used like that was in that particular conversation. The joke isn’t on disabled people but on the guys saying it. That’s a triggering word though so if it makes people uncomfortable I totally understand.
@@KisstheReviews yep agree
I think you and the entire comment section misunderstood the movie completely.
Maybe…but also…we didn’t. Thanks for commenting.
@@KisstheReviews Maybe, but also, you did. Thanks for commenting on my comment.
I’ll tell you what. Use your real first and last name and explain in detail why literally everyone but you misunderstood this movie. You do that, I’ll listen with an open mind.
@@KisstheReviewsThere's a joke! You have as open a mind as Nazi has an acceptance of all cultures
