During the time that the trailers and commercials to Fifty Shades of Black were out, I was unimpressed to say the least. I didn’t even have the urge to see the movie. But now I have finally got to see it and it doesn’t seem to be a Wayans-esque type movie at all. I guess mainly because Marlon is playing the more straight roll than one of his zany characters. This was something completely different and I was both intrigued and pleasantly surprised. Don’t get me wrong, it was definitely a comedy but there were no additional movie spoofs thrown in like other Wayans movies, the scenes were the same except peppered with witty remarks and pop culture references and of course the leading roles were played by Black actors.

As I was watching the movie, this fact dawned on me I’m basically watching Fifty Shades of Grey but with a Black cast and some humor sprinkled in. My favorite part was the cameo by Florence Henderson!! Yes, the Brady Bunch mom made an appearance and her role was so hilarious and unexpected. I want everyone to see the movie just for her. Overall I would recommend everyone to see Fifty Shades of Black, but at this point you can probably wait till the DVD comes out. 50 shades of black was a pleasant surprise but still falls in the realm of a Netflix and chill movie.
