Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy star in this new buddy comedy from Black-ish Kenya Barris creator can best be described as a Meet Fockers-type of scenario pass with a race-swapped version of Guess who will come to join me. Look, there’s a rude comment about police brutality! Oh, and there’s an uncomfortable joke about Louis Farrakhan’s inciting remarks about Jews! One thing is for sure: friends everyone To be keen; it is saying stuff; and hello boy, it’s happening over there! The judges don’t know if that makes for a hilarious comedy.

The words our review:

There is this strange notion that good comedy is offensive, when in fact it is funny. To get someone to laugh and do it consistently, it’s important to first understand something about them. This is why the impulse behind a movie like friends everyone can be a good thing, since comedy can create a lot of hay from the misunderstandings people have about each other as they try to make sense of it. friends everyonehowever, is mainly concerned with ignorance, and therefore, it ages rapidly. Because the most annoying comedy isn’t ignorance or bigotry, it’s just plain boring.

Our word review:

The Graveyard of Horror Comedies is one of the saddest and most boring of all. It’s filled with hundreds of lousy parodies, non-laughing jumbles, silly trash, and perhaps a few unfortunate movies that weren’t intentionally designed to be amusing. The worst movies in the sub-genre are like tight-lipped acts that try too hard to balance what the creators seem to think are polar opposites, hopefully the audience laughs at this and screams in. after. But following in the footsteps of classics like the original Chucky movie Child’s playDirector Gerard Johnstone and the team behind the new horror comedy M3GAN realize that laughing and shouting aren’t really that different — and most importantly, both can be the key to a great time.
