🤦‍♂ Why don't people understand that this kind of thing actually makes POC's look so much "less"? This would only be funny if it were a send-up comedy......

[@TheMajorActual]

Ugh.....If I owned a studio, I could make literally one phone call, and license a better idea than this...I could make it into a trilogy.

Where the White Women at? -Blazing Saddles

[@jaklumen]

I finally saw this amazing film in full a few months ago. No way could Mel Brooks make another like it today!

[@thechuckjosechannel.2702]

@@jaklumen yep, thanks to Richard Pryor doing the screenplay with others.

[@garrittvasquez2469]

No theatres near me are even showing this. I found the nearest is three hours away.

[@Proudmary7]

You're lucky

[@barryon8706]

In the hands of really skilled writers this could conveivably have been a good movie. But that would probably be an uphill battle, and these writers had roller skates.

[@CynsCorner]

Everyone in my group disliked this film. It made NO sense why they had it take place in present day - the stats and reality do not support the narrative they were trying to sell us. I'm so tired of racial divisiveness in films/shows today that even if they had it take place decades ago (let's say, during the Jim Crow era), it still would have annoyed me. But at least it would have made sense.

[@toddwood5136]

Hey, I don't know who you are, but you're not alone. It's so sad it's like this..

[@Adamguy2003]

I know what you mean! The race- hustlers and hate mongers want SOOOOO badly to believe that race relations nationwide today are every bit as bad as they were in Mississippi circa the 1940s if not earlier, and to convince us that this is the case when it is clearly not.

[@denvan3143]

The title would’ve been a good name for a troop of African-American illusionists: watch while we pull cards out of thin air, rabbits out of hats, and perform the sewing a woman in half trick!

[@jimclayson]

I'm not surprised. Racist tropes CAN be used to comedic effect, but that requires honest self-awareness. As LRC mentioned, there's the classic "Blazing Saddles," and of course "Tropic Thunder"... and I personally adore "The Jerk," which starts out with Steve Martin saying "I was born a poor black child." "Woke" can't laugh at itself, seeing laughter at "immutable characteristics" as racist. 🥸

[@jaklumen]

I have another: "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka", but I saw it as a Wayan Brothers parody of blaxploitation films.

[@cmdredstrakerofshado1159]

Why is that the worst racism someone can be afflicted by is self inflicted 🙄

[@lance134679]

Did David Alan Grier actually read the script before signing on? I thought he would prefer something a bit more clever.

[@jaklumen]

He was in I'm Gonna Get You Sucka as a variation of an Uncle Tom, so I'm not terribly surprised. I love the aforementioned film as a parody of blaxploitation films--I will be astonished if this other film is a Wayan Brothers project (I doubt it is, though).

[@Drugstore_Cowgirl1986]

First of all, I'm a fan who genuinely loves your channel. Anyways, I'll admit that I'm a white male, so yea, I'm prob not the target audience. Being said, more than anything, this movie irrationally disappointed me. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive about this, but it really bothers me that people out there, like these writers, have a simplistic view about me because of the color of my skin, which I can't control. It just feels unfair and mean-spirited. Key and Peel are my favorite comedians and they joke about racial stuff all the time without it being hostile. FFS I don't feel uncomfortable around black people or have "white tears" whenever I encounter a person of a different race. Also, blazing saddles was a ****ing masterpiece. It's one of the greatest comedies of all time.

[@LaReinaCreole]

Thank you so much for that lovely compliment about my channel 😊🙏🏾❤️ And thank you so much for watching and for your insightful comments about the video!

[@lance134679]

I'm not liking this trend of a big pity party speech at the end of movies - Barbie's "it's impossible to be a woman" speech, and now this one. I'm not sure the end of a movie should be a like someone venting to their therapist.

[@rdkirk3834]

They realize the movie doesn't manage to make its own point. Or they want to make sure it did, just in case someone thought they were just being entertained.

[@TG5455]

4:57 Now that's...

[@crimped357]

Hmmm, maybe they should have picked a different era? Like, idk, pre-civil war 🤔 yeah! That's the ticket!😅

[@aninymouse1651]

My only critique is that your background music is mixed too loud. Almost drowns out your voice. Otherwise, great video 👍

[@LaReinaCreole]

Thank you for letting me know about the background music. I'll definitely make sure it is lower next time. Thanks for watching!

[@JoeySkellington17]

The movie was awful!!! I’m not shocked it only made 1.2 Million. I think it would’ve been a better idea to make the plot about the fact the “magical Negro” is out of work these days..

[@SecretHero914]

That bad, huh La Reina?

[@Proudmary7]

I almost walked out this movie. The romantic scenes were so boring. Of course the two black witch leads were masculine looking. One bald the other heavy set. I wanted to see some crazy beautiful powerful black women but of course not. Of course not a black love story. It was terrible.

[@sunbrown8536]

the background soundtrack is too distracting. thank you.

[@TardisGirl9]

It only lasts for a minute or so- this video is definitely worth finishing!

[@sunbrown8536]

@@TardisGirl9 watched entire video. i suppose it is the intro and out-tro thing. which should fade away she speaks?

[@erintrout7297]

That music made it hard to hear her and if I hadn’t checked comments I wouldn’t have finished video thanks for comments…hopefully next time fade out music before starting review 👍

[@TardisGirl9]

@@erintrout7297 Agreed- it was my first video of hers (I learned of her through Film Threat) and was listening on my headphones with my phone in my pocket thinking, “I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish this when I can barely hear her.” I was so relieved when the music stopped, because she made a lot of great points.

[@aster4jaden]

Ms. La Reina i'm so sorry you watched this Movie and will never get your time back.

[@bgt54rfvcde32wsxzaq1]

La Reina Creole is in danger of being called a 🦝

[@LaReinaCreole]

It’s not what people may call you, it’s what you answer to 😉

[@JesusChrist-em1iz]

Yes White people are definitely afraid of scrawny biracial dudes. At least make it realistic and have the main character be part of a Gang and with tattoos. Make him look intimidating. No one is intimidated by this guy. Also, I'm adding every actor in this movie to my No Watch List. They are boycotted in our household as is Dwayne Johnson and many other Celebs. I'm sick of Hollyweird trying to lecture us but in the end I feel like all they're doing with movies like this is creating more division.

[@Unfa1r]

This movie looks like it's so bad that I'd rather watch Pootie Tang instead and that movie is horrible.

[@LordSpleach]

The trailer for this movie just looked bad. Now American Fiction on the other hand....

[@NebLleb]

Oh, this movie is so much worse than "Woke"... It's the ramblings of a 4chan pol nazi come to life.

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

Was recommended by WDW Pro to check out this review. As a first time viewer on your channel. I'm not worthy of you putting on your makeup to do this review video?? Since it's so important to you since you brought it up in the first place. Well. No use in sticking around. I'm gone. Bye.

[@LaReinaCreole]

First off, thanks so much for checking out my channel. I appreciate WDW Pro recommendation. Second, I do have other videos where I have my makeup on and show my face. Plenty to choose from. God bless! 🙏🏾

[@TG5455]

I can't believe that you went to see this. How did you survive this movie? My goodness, girl. 🫡
