Wildly erratic even for a spoof movie, Fifty Shades of Black bears the unfortunate distinction of offering fewer laughs than the unintentionally funny film it's trying to lampoon.

Even the idea that Fifty Shades of Grey might require parody seems ludicrous. Mar 10, 2016 | Rating: 1/5

A spoof of the franchise that started out as Twilight fan fiction offers up another barrel for Marlon Wayans to scrape. Mar 10, 2016 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Wayans is ... incapable of limiting himself to parodying one movie at a time, tossing in riffs on Whiplash, Magic Mike, and Zero Dark Thirty to varying degrees of success. Jan 31, 2016 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

There are undoubtedly four or five one-liners that will have you in stitches, but given the scattergun approach to jokes, that makes for a rather minuscule percentage. Mar 23, 2016 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…
