The writer clearly watches way too much ID Channel's Fear Thy Neighbor and ripped off Lakeview Terrance but mostly switched the races of the protagonist and antagonist. I'm Black and I cringed at the dialogue. In real life, no one talks, acts or reacts like this. No one! The absurdity of it all including the horror music every time "Karen" interacted with her new neighbors was hilarious I must admit. Corey Hardrict and Taryn Manning are both pretty good actors. Why did they take part in this poor production? The Good: 1. The leads playing the young couple/new neighbors are likeable and even had patience with their deranged neighbor. 2. The movie didn't make every White person evil - there's a kind rookie cop and "Karen's" children were sweet-natured. 3. There are two sweet moments between said children and the young couple/new neighbors. Unfortunately, those rare nice parts are overshadowed by the preachy agenda and forced storyline.
Review of Karen
Karen
(I) (2021)
Feels like a Hilariously Bad 10-minute Comedy Skit that overstayed its Welcome.
