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.

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

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

The Times (UK)

Even the idea that Fifty Shades of Grey might require parody seems ludicrous.

Flickering Myth

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

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]

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

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.
