I saw "Fifty Shades of Black", starring Marlon Wayans-The Heat, White Chicks; Kali Hawk-Bridesmaids, Couples retreat and Affion Crockett-The Wedding Ringer, Never Back Down.

In case you could not tell from the title, this is a parody of '50 Shades of Grey'. Marlon plays the wealthy business man that tries to seduce the innocent young girl, Kali, into his world of sexual romper room. Affion plays Marlon's rather 'talented' brother, and when I say 'talented', I mean with the ladies. There is a scene where Affion has just finished satisfying a lady and is nude as he walks by the coffee table, knocking things to the floor with his.....appendage. The movie is good and bad; some jokes are funny but most are just silly as they seem to be trying too hard for a laugh. There are a few cameos. I remember seeing Jane Seymour, Florence Henderson, Michael Epps and Fred Willard. I guess it depends on how much you like this type of humor; it's not for everyone. Marlon is a co-writer of the movie. There is a lot of graphic language and nudity, and I have nothing against nudity, but here, there is more of the male kind and not enough of the female kind. It's rated "R" for language and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 32 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD. It would be alright, as a rental, if you are a fan. Otherwise, you might want to just skip it, entirely.
