RogerEbert.com — Meet the Blacks
“Meet the Blacks” is, fundamentally, a spoof of “The Purge” in which a black family moves from a violent section of Chicago to a wealthy enclave in Beverly Hills and finds it’s even more dangerous for them there. But if this is going to be your premise — whites killing blacks out of snobbery or intolerance — your humor better be pretty sharp and sophisticated. Instead, “Meet the Blacks” gives us fart jokes and tired pop-culture references. My one-star RogerEbert.com review.
The sad thing is that the premise actually sounds interesting. The opportunities for criticism are endless and could tackle subjects like white flight, stereotyping, crime, the War on Drugs, and more.
