What to know

critics consensus

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. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

In a spoof of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Hannah Steele interviews entrepreneur Christian Black (Marlon Wayans) for her roommate's school newspaper. The wealthy and eligible Black quickly learns how clumsy the young woman is. As flirtation leads to attraction, Christian invites Hannah to his home and introduces her to his kinky world of S&M. Despite their different backgrounds, the new couple consistently surprise each other with how far they're willing to go to make their relationship work.

Audience Reviews for Fifty Shades of Black

  • Apr 05, 2017
    Fifty Shades of Black is a no-holds-barred, incredibly reverent and outrageous parody film. While mainly a spoof of Fifty Shades of Gray, there are also sketches of other recent hit films (such as Magic Mike). Marlon Wayans leads the cast and delivers a hilarious performance, and Jane Seymour is hysterical in a small supporting role. But the crudeness and vulgarity is a bit much, and some of the jokes get beat to death. It delivers a lot of laughs, but Fifty Shades of Black is unable to strike the right balance of raunch and comedy.

    actually pretty entertaining if you know you're going in good, old-fashioned stupid and vulgar silliness
    Ed K Super Reviewer

    I'm ashamed for laughing in 2 scenes in this movie.

    The worst comedy from Jack and Jill, badly acted, poorly directed, is a complete disaster movie, is completely atrocious. Do not know who the hell told Marlon Wayans that this was funny, probably some one who hates him. No it hurts more pay to see this movie or wasted time to see this atrocity.
