When Peter Billingsley's comedy "Couples Retreat" was released in 2009, some critics argued that the title should serve as a warning. It only garnered a 10% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Peter Bradshaw from the Guardian saying that former Prime Minister of Cambodia, Pol Pot, could have written a warmer, funnier film.
The film follows four middle-aged couples on a retreat to a tropical resort called Eden where they mean to rekindle their respective flagging relationships. The couples are played by Vince Vaughn and Malin Åkerman, Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis, Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell, and Faizon Love and Kali Hawk. The cast was stacked, and the story interspersed run-of-the-mill midlife crises with limp attempts at slapstick. The film cost $60 million to make and netted $171 million worldwide, so it wasn't a bomb, but it also was dismissed and forgotten by the culture at large.

Faizon Love files race discrimination suit against Universal alleging he was cut from poster for 2009 comedy because he was black
Cuban-American actor Faizon Love has launched legal action against Hollywood studio Universal, saying he was cut out of the poster for the 2009 comedy Couples Retreat because he was black.
In a filing in a Los Angeles court reported by Deadline, Love said that he and his fellow actor Kali Hawk – the only principal black actors in the film – were removed from the international editions of the poster. Love said that while Universal had “no problem featuring Black actors” in the film, “when it came to publicizing the film to international audiences, Universal Studios chose to segregate the motion picture’s White and Black actors”. The filing also stated: “Mr Love and his Black costar, Kali Hawk, were expunged completely from the film’s principal international advertisement, while the other ‘couples...

Faizon Love sued Universal Pictures today, accusing it of violating California’s fair employment and civil rights laws with the international poster for its 2009 comedy movie Couples Retreat, calling it an “act of racism.” It also claims the studio reneged on a promise to get Love future roles when they originally sought to placate him over the controversy.
Love co-starred in the movie with Vince Vaughn, Kristen Bell, Jason Bateman, Malin Ackerman, Jon Favreau, Kristen Davis and Kali Hawk as a quartet of couples who travel to a tropical island where marriage therapy classes are a requirement.
Filed on Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the 45-page suit (read it here) from Love and his loan-out company The Burning House recounted that Universal’s marketing for the film in domestic markets during its original featured all four couples in the key art. Faizon and Hawk, the only Black couple in the ensemble,...

Faizon Love filed a lawsuit on Wednesday accusing Universal of race discrimination when it cut him out of the poster for the 2009 film “Couples Retreat.”
The film featured four couples who go to a resort to repair their relationships. Love and his co-star, Kali Hawk, played the only non-white couple, and they were removed from the poster when the film opened overseas.
In a statement accompanying the suit, Love alleged he was the victim of whitewashing.
“This film was a big money-maker for Universal, but instead of honoring my work and my contract, the studio chose to render me invisible to billions of moviegoers around the world,” he said.
The deletion stirred controversy at the time. According to the Daily Mail, Universal said then that it regretted causing offense, and would discontinue the poster.

It only took a year: here's the spoof take on 50 Shades Of Grey. Chortle.
When Scary Movie came out back in 2000, some remarked that the sleeper hit horror parody was spoofing a satire by drawing inspiration and iconography from Scream, which Wes Craven intended as a trope-riddled satire of the genre. Nevertheless, four sequels and a slew of other parody movies (mostly by 'two of the six writers', Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg) followed and have served to run the art of cinematic parody into the ground over the last 15 years.
Fifty Shades Of Black hasn't been anywhere near as big a hit for co-writer and star Marlon Wayans as Scary Movie was, although it's arguably in a similar situation as that first breakout hit. Many of us (this reviewer included) felt that last year's E.L. James adaptation Fifty Shades Of Grey was already hilarious by accident,...

10 Cloverfield Lane is the latest mystery box thriller from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and it's looking to top a list of four new wide releases this weekend. Additional new releases include Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy The Brothers Grimsby, the new faith-based feature The Young Messiah and the romantic-comedy The Perfect Match. All four will be competing with some strong holdovers, most notably Disney's Zootopia, which will be holding on to the top spot for a second week in a row, and Deadpool, which could top $10 million in its fifth weekend in release. Zootopia enters its second weekend in release after breaking the The Lorax's March opening weekend record for an animated film. As such, it seems appropriate to use The Lorax's 44.7% second weekend drop as a basis for comparison this weekend. On a daily basis Zootopia has performed well when compared to The Lorax, suggesting the smart money...

It astounds me that so many critics can vehemently spit venom at Kevin Smith, proclaiming he only makes movies for himself, yet that same scrutiny seems to avoid a borderline selfish filmmaker like Marlon Wayans. Given the right script and role, Wayans is a funny, talented performer. That I won’t argue. Yet these flavor-of-the-week spoofs he constantly churns out sport the same, unfunny, low-brow sense of humor every single time. These are jokes that make Wayans and his writing buddy Rick Alvarez laugh like pre-pubescent boys – or maybe the jokes were written by pre-pubescent boys, and they just make Wayans and Alvarez laugh. Either way, Fifty Shades Of Black is fifty despicable shades too many. Shocker, right?
Wayans stars as Christian Black, a wealthy “bidness” man who made his money like any other successful entrepreneur – by learning the coke trade and sucking a few dicks! (Yup, strap in.) It...

In Fifty Shades Of Black, Marlon Wayans doesn't only parody the risqué novel turned movie, but Magic Mike also gets the spoof treatment with Marlon Wayans stripping down to a g-string. Wayans co-star Kali Hawk and director Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) reveal the star wasn't thrilled to take it all off, but Wayans is telling us a different story. Watch the hilarious interview where Wayans offers to show us his "johnson" to prove he's not a "prude."

After spoofing the found footage horror movie with his "Haunted House" pair of films, Marlon Wayans has done the same with erotic romance drama, "Fifty Shades of Black" (you just had to know he'd use that as the title). But Wayans doesn't necessarily like the term "spoof," as he has said repeatedly. It's more of what he calls a "humorous homage" to the original film, which he hopes both fans of his, as well as fans of "50 Shades of Grey" will appreciate. Im Global financed the film (they got behind the "Haunted House" movies as well), which is set for release next year. Kali Hawk co-stars. Wayans stars, as well as produces, and...

Get ready for Fifty Shades of Black, The Finest Hours and Kung Fu Panda 3. Just remember, I'm not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting where they'll end up on the Tomatometer. Let's take a look at This Rotten Week has to offer.

After spoofing the found footage horror movie with his "Haunted House" pair of films, Marlon Wayans has done the same with erotic romance drama, "Fifty Shades of Black" (you just had to know he'd use that as the title). But Wayans doesn't necessarily like the term "spoof," as he has said repeatedly. It's more of what he calls a "humorous homage" to the original film, which he hopes both fans of his, as well as fans of "50 Shades of Grey" will appreciate. Im Global financed the film (they got behind the "Haunted House" movies as well), which is set for release next year. Kali Hawk co-stars. Wayans course stars, as well as...

"Fifty Shades of Grey" gets f--ked every which way by Marlon Wayans in the new red band trailer for "Fifty Shades of Black." The "red band" status is probably from all the f-bombs and that n-bomb, plus there's the nastiness with smelling fingers, getting eaten out, going "balls deep," spitting into locks, passing around mothers, and flinging sticky underwear.
As one character puts it at the end, "F--k to the no. You need to find Jesus, that's what you can do!" It's less hot than hurl, but many viewers probably feel the same about the real "Fifty Shades."
This "outrageous comedy" parody stars Wayans as Mr. Black, but it also features Kali Hawk, Mike Epps, Andrew Bachelor, Affion Crockett, and -- this is odd -- Jane Seymour, Fred Willard, and Florence Henderson. Yes, Mrs. Brady signed up for a movie where a stripper f--ks a woman pregnant right on stage.

The most Marlon Wayansiest thing has happened: Marlon Wayans has made a Fifty Shades of Grey parody, Fifty Shades of Black. (No word on what that super-vague title refers to yet — we're just surprised it's not 69 Shades of Black.) Other than Kali Hawk repeatedly getting her head stuck between elevator doors, this movie actually looks way sexier than the original. Wayans isn't a self-serious monster; Hawk is not instantly scandalized by all things, and as the last ten seconds of the first trailer show below, these two actually have chemistry. Our inner goddess is ... laughing?...

Having gone through parodying the supernatural found footage genre with two "A Haunted House" films, Marlon Wayans tries making fun of erotic thrillers with "Fifty Shades of Black" opening next month. Today the film's red-band trailer has dropped and shows off the comedy which mostly targets this year's "Fifty Shades of Grey" film.
Kali Hawk, Mike Epps, Andrew Bachelor, Affion Crockett, Jane Seymour, Fred Willard and Florence Henderson also star in the Open Road Films release which opens January 29th.

If there's a trend to be parodied, it seems Marlon Wayans will make the most of the opportunity. With a couple of "Scary Movies," "Dance Flick," and some "A Haunted House" flicks under his belt, he knows this terrain well, so he's comfortable getting naughty for "Fifty Shades Of Black," and a new red-band trailer has arrived. Kali Hawk, Mike Epps, Andrew Bachelor, Affion Crockett, Jane Seymour, Fred Willard and Florence Henderson are also on board this riff on "Fifty Shades Of Grey," and as per usual, the jokes here are big and broad. If you liked any of the aforementioned movies, this will probably be a decent enough timekiller, but even then, I'm not sure you'd want to pay full movie ticket price for this. Maybe wait for it to roll onto cable. "Fifty Shades Of Black" opens on January 29, 2016.

Marlon Wayans and Kali Hawk channel their inner Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the first trailer for the parody film, “Fifty Shades of Black.” The film is spoofing the highly-popular “Fifty Shades of Grey.” In the trailer, we can see Christian and Anastasia’s relationship develop, similar to the real thing but slightly more sexual, outrageous and ridiculous. The trailer also features a scene in which Wayans makes fun of Kim Kardashian‘s infamous Paper Magazine cover, as well as a sequence from “Magic Mike.” Also Read: Marlon Wayans 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Parody to Be Distributed...

The comedy stylings of Marlon Wayans aren't subtle. You're either with his broad comedy antics or not, and if you are, well, you probably enjoyed his previous parody masterwork, "A Haunted House." Now he's taking on "Fifty Shades Of Grey," and it's titled, not so subtly, "Fifty Shades Of Black." Kali Hawk, Mike Epps, Andrew Bachelor, Affion Crockett, Jane Seymour, Fred Willard and Florence Henderson star in the movie that's basically "Fifty Shades Of Grey," but it's supposed to be actually funny, instead of unintentionally funny. Whether or not it succeeds in that regard, you'll just have to see for yourself. The movie opens on January 29, 2016. Watch below.

This rom-com concept is so overdone and, quite frankly, doesn't excite me at all, I'm sorry to say. I'm sure films like this have their audience, so I can't dismiss it entirely. But, really, unless there's some surprise twist, or the filmmakers plan to turn hackneyed ideas on their heads to create something fresh and different, can we please move on from this kind of unimaginative, unoriginal storytelling?
