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.

Another depressing "cinema parody" that isn't half as amusing as the film(s) it wants us to laugh at. Go to Full Review

50 Shades of Black does, at least, have to good grace to be 50 times more entertaining than the original. Go to Full Review

Even the idea that Fifty Shades of Grey might require parody seems ludicrous. Go to Full Review

Honestly, the whole experience would fare better as a skit rather than a feature-length film Go to Full Review

A horrible movie and an even worse parody, it's sad that one ends up laughing less with it than with 'Fifty shades of Grey'. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

A moment of Netflix product placement suggests the idea that this would have been better as one no-filler hour of television. Go to Full Review

Delano D Nov 19 This move was very funny here and there... It did have me feeling a bit sleepy. Good acting also in it. Hits close to home. See more Janoy P Nov 16 Very distasteful and disgusted, I honestly believe that this garbage should be banned. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 7 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Korra N Aug 14 This could've been hilarious and scathing, but instead it's just juvenile and stupid. See more julie w Aug 7 I turned off after 10 minutes. It was just so over the top and ridiculous that it just wasn't funny. See more Kelli H Mar 9 All the bad reviews are deserved. Nothing about this is funny. The worst attempt at a parody I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing. Please don’t waste any minutes of your life watching this. You can’t get those precious minutes back. See more Read all reviews
