Marlon Wayans attempt to poke fun an this series and it looks silly but not awful
Spoof films are something that have existed for many years. Mel Brooks made them popular with movies like Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Spaceballs and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. But since then other spoofs movies have come out and they have ranged from clever like Superhero Movie and Meet the Spartans to down right terrible with films like Breaking Wind and Disaster Movie. Marlon Wayans has a new comedy coming out next year and the first trailer has been released. Here is what we know from it.
The film centers around Mr. Black (Marlon Wayans) and in some respects follows the film it spoofs which is Fifty Shades of Grey. In this trailer we see Hannah (Kali Hawk) the woman who vies for the affections of Mr. Black but is having a hard time making a real connection with him. That is until she finds out his secret, that he is into some freaky things when it comes to the bedroom. They form a strong bond and things go from there. How far will Hannah let Mr. Black take things? What will it be that takes their relationship too far? And will this be a comedy that is worth seeing?
The trailer takes a number of jabs at the series but thankfully they are not in too poor of taste. It looks like Marlon has done his homework here and intends to make a spoof movie that will be silly but will not try to poke fun at too many different things which should prevent it from becoming ridiculous instead of clever. This writer is naturally cautious when any of these movies get made because they can become awful too easily but after seeing this trailer he has hope it may be one of the good ones. He did a great job with A Haunted House a few years ago but the sequel pushed things too far and was missing too many of the elements that made the original worth watching. This film will naturally not be for everyone but if you are looking for some good laughs it will be one you should check out.
If you enjoy spoof movies this is a trailer you should watch. If you are tired of the Fifty Shades series and want to see it made fun of then you will want to view this trailer. Fifty Shades of Black is coming January 29, 2016.
