Ethan G @ethdrew05226 2d I don’t get why this movie gets so much hate. It’s actually really funny—I laughed a lot. The story gets better as it goes, and the emotions and humor totally win. I thought it was a great film. See more tantalizing t @tantalizingtowers Dec 15 This movie has unfunny jokes, unnecessary slapstick, and makes you cringe. I love it. See more Real O Oct 22 There's obviously a bounty on The Wayans. See more Aug 10 It genuinely annoys me how low the rating is. The focus of the movie is comedy. It’s a comedy movie!! The story is not insanely important. It was a hilarious movie. See more dede w Aug 6 its good! I've watch all of the Wayan brothers movies now!
