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.

Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Another depressing "cinema parody" that isn't half as amusing as the film(s) it wants us to laugh at. Rated: 1/5 Mar 13, 2016 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times 50 Shades of Black does, at least, have to good grace to be 50 times more entertaining than the original. Rated: 2/5 Mar 11, 2016 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) Even the idea that Fifty Shades of Grey might require parody seems ludicrous. Rated: 1/5 Mar 10, 2016 Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth Honestly, the whole experience would fare better as a skit rather than a feature-length film Rated: 2/5 Dec 4, 2017 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof 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] Feb 16, 2017 Full Review Richard von Busack MetroActive A moment of Netflix product placement suggests the idea that this would have been better as one no-filler hour of television.
