Fifty Shades of Black stars Marlon Wayans as Christian Black and… yes, you’re ahead of me. I don’t even need to say that this is a spoof movie based on Fifty Shades of Grey because you noticed that from the trailer.
Spoof movies themselves have really lost their way over the years. They started off being quite funny, but the more they made, the less they were funny. That said, I got more laughs out of The Naked Gun 2.5: The Smell Of Fear than I did out of the first Naked Gun movie (and let’s forget about the third one!). Then we had all the Scary Movie movies, and they soon outlived their usefulness, but still they continue. Really, what’s the point of it all?
You could ask what’s the point of life, but there’s no point asking a question when you know the answer is ’42’. Douglas Adams said so.
But I digress. Fifty Shades of Black also stars Jane Seymour and is released in the US on January 29th 2016, a time of year that’s either reserved for really crap films or ones that’ll be likely to sweep the board at the Oscars and BAFTAs. Now, which do you think this one will fit into?
Laugh? I nearly voted for Fifty Shades of Grey to sweep the board(!)
