If I watch this movie a dozen more times I wonder if it will eventually get funny.I watched it once & once was 1 time too many.I struggled & strained to sit through the entire thing.I don't think I laughed once while watching it.I might have grinned, smiled, or smirked, but I never truly laughed.I know I spent the majority of the time cringing.I watch anything and everything the Wayans put out and usually find them funny.White Girls did suck but it didn't suck as bad as 50 Shades Of Black did.The funniest thing about 50 Shades Of Black was the trailer.It's what made me really want to see it.Maybe if I would've seen 50 Shades Of Grey or even read the book (I have NO interest in doing either) before watching this, I might have enjoyed this movie or liked it but even then I really don't think so.There were so many parts where they just tried way too hard to get a laugh (Like the belly button scene for example.See what I mean?) I'm a BIG fan of potty humor but here it was WAY too overdone & the only thing it made me do was feel awkward.The only way I can see anybody finding 50 Shades Of Black funny is if they're high on drugs or completely drunk.I would suggest you only recommend this movie to people you don't like

This movie is better suited to a YouTube mini series or a Vine-style comedy. It is hilarious, but only if you don't actually watch the whole thing in one sitting.I watched this movie during study breaks at about 10-20 minute increments at a time. It is definitely cringe-worthy and there are some scenes where the humour is really grasping at straws.But one thing the film has going for it, is that it really follows the original 50 Shades to a T, and when it pokes fun at it, it's really spot on. I personally hated 50 Shades of Grey, and enjoyed spending my breaks entertaining myself with senseless humour every so often. I can't imagine actually sitting through the whole 1 hour and a half of it in one sitting, but I did appreciate the laughs this movie gave me. Best enjoyed in increments - Probably not the best compliment a movie could have, but it does enhance the watching experience in my opinion.

This is painful to watch. A bad movie which is a parody of another bad movie. So how low can Hollywood go these days ?? In all the comedies of the Wayans family, there are strong crude and sexual content, and no laughing. This one is no exception. It's nearly a comedy about the human genitals and excretory organs; which's disgusting and unfunny enough ! So I was about to say "If you want to watch human feces, go and watch this", however, WHO WOULD WATCH HUMAN FECES IN THE FIRST PLACE ??!!There is no plot whatsoever. No attempt to understand the leads' characters or problems either (for even pocking fun of them rightly). And accordingly the movie is nothing but huge jelly made of horrible sex jokes. So when you delete drama, as well as comedy, and immerse me – as a viewer – in tons of filth, then this is the perfect recipe for forgettable ugly crap !They could have made a comedy about a pervert soft porn masquerading as a romance. But No. Nudity, nastiness, and repulsiveness are way easier. Therefore, when this parody tries to have a conscience, and criticizes its original, Fifty Shades of Grey (2015), by saying that its novel was written by a third grader—it all falls apart. Because considering the condition of this very parody; IT IS written by the same third grader !Fairly, a few moments were kind of comic, and showed a bit of smartness (The scene of unlocking the cuffs, and couple of lines). But the rest of the movie, namely 95 % of it, was between provocatively stupid and vomit-causing. I don't know, is that the legacy that Marlon Wayans wants to leave to the next generations, or even his own kids; "I was unfunny dude, who used to hide his ridiculousness under nauseating language and shocking images, to be even more unfunny" ??!!Watching a Hollywood movie nowadays became a real torture. It's a hard porn of badness, that addresses the lowest desires in the human self, with superabundance of nudity, drugs, and cursing. Fifty Shades of Black doesn't satirize that sarcastically; it is that itself, yet without any workable sarcasm. So what an appalling failure and complete torture that is ! There is something rotten in the state of Hollywood ? No. Hollywood has become a rotten state already !

50 shades of black lampoons the much over-rated 50 shades of gray movie and book quite successfully. I must point out that I was no fan of the original; I found it quite drab, unexciting and appalling in its messaging so I was interested to see someone had done a send-up.The movie's very undergraduate and crude humour is bound to offend some people, and it could have worked better in a comedy sketch format TV show, but seriously, the original was so bad this has to be fair game. I was surprised this made it to cinemas; I suspect it went straight to DVD in this country and that's not so surprising really.I did give this an extra star for Florence Henderson's scene; there's something especially naughty seeing Mrs Brady in THAT sort of scene...
