Wacka Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 It was cultural appropriation by Eddie Murphy. The late Art Buchwald had written a similar story. and sued Eddie Murphy. He won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought cultural appropriation was taken seriously. And... Can one appropriate one's own culture? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) My absolute favorite part of the original is the preacher. “He helped Joshua tear down the walls at Jericho. He helped Daniel in the lions den. He helped Gilligan get off the island.... if loving the lord is wrong, I don’t ever want to be right.” Edited December 25, 2020 by Miyagi-Do Karate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Love the original but I just can’t see this new spin being any good. Also saw Leslie Jones is in it. That’s some comedy kryptonite right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wasn’t expecting much in the first place. It just wasn’t amusing. Not even in a nostalgic sort of way, and i’m a total 80s junkie. Except the barber shop guys. Should have just given them their own spin off movie and called it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
