Utter rubbish
9 December 2021
I think entertainment is getting to a dangerous place now with trying to appease social issues, I doubt a couple of years ago this would've made cinema release, it's a straight to dvd, streaming platform at best. The fact the cast is 95% black doesn't influence my opinions as there are plenty of amazing all black films and shows, but it's clearly influencing people to be too scared to say no to movie or show ideas to be labelled a racist.

The acting is horrific, it stars mostly D-list tv actors with a few better known ones and the obligatory GOT character, plus the girl from little kid who is genuinely hideous at acting.

There is no chemistry between anyone, the dialogue is terrible, the jokes miss every time and the lead guy was below par in the bill so should definitely not be the lead. I get he wrote it but why not do what's best for the movie and be humble not cast yourself knowing by your poor career that it won't work.

There is nothing enjoyable here, it drags, it's literally a love actually rip off staring black people, it's as tragic as it sounds. Also don't think the ghetto talk is always needed, it's so cliched and stereotypical to go that route, it's just dull.

There's nothing good here I promise you, the only people scoring it well are those scared to criticise in this weak climate.

Awful, I gave it 2 just because it's Xmas.
