I’m appalled by what appears to be a disrespectful portrayal of the Black Lives Matter movement and other efforts toward equality. The movie is truly awful, and it seems that its problematic nature is being overlooked simply because it involves a Black person seemingly diminishing these important causes. It might be the worst film I've seen in quite some time. It’s essentially a poorly executed imitation of *Big Momma’s House*, but without any humor to salvage it. Throughout, the actors seem to be unsuccessfully attempting impressions of performers like Martin Lawrence or Eddie Murphy. The opening scene features a man setting himself on fire with a barbecue grill in what seems like an attempt at a 1960s Marx Brothers-style sketch, and the tired jokes just continue from there. The film even includes racially insensitive jokes about incest set in Alabama, which feel pathetic and out of touch with today’s society—almost as if it's deliberately provoking places still struggling with inequality to become more prejudiced. There is a direct reference to BLM-police relations, along with a satirical take on the Rosa Parks incident that sparked the civil rights movement. Brendan O’Carroll appears seemingly just to deliver outdated jokes using a racial slur and referencing cotton picking. The film's discriminatory themes don't end there; homophobia runs through the early parts of the story. A gay relationship receives less empathy than a straight one, which seems to question its legitimacy or even its value when the characters revert to calling each other “friends” after their breakup. While the movie clearly aims to address contemporary social issues, the constant focus on skin color and race feels more like mockery, with the apparent intention of reinforcing inequality rather than reducing it. This film shouldn’t have been released in the twenty-first century; it seems like a step backward for equality.
