not horrible nor great

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

After watching this film and seeing both sides of the argument. I was left (again) on the fence but a little bit to the good side. A pretty interesting purge parody movie, about a family moving to Beverly Hills during the purge and then getting ransacked.Obviously people will argue that this film is "racist", as per usual, and to some extent it kind of is, and obviously during the purge, everyone wants to kill them. But because its a comedy film, we should take everything as satire with a pinch of salt. From my point of view, its a funny comedy that made me laugh quite a lot, and i see no downside apart from the alleged "racism". This means, its not for everyone.But at the end of the day, my words to you are: If your easily offended, don't watch it. If your not, then why not give it a shot?

Freshman scenarist Nicole DeMasi and "Supremacy" director Deon Taylor do an adequate job of sending up the vigilante franchise of "The Purge" movies with their parody "Meet the Blacks," starring Mike Epps, Mike Tyson, and George Lopez. Mike Epps plays Carl Black, a wiring installation expert from Chicago, who steals an African-American gangsta's cash and stash and then moves his family out to live in a mansion in Beverly Hills. Clearly, Demasi and Taylor must have been thinking of vintage CBS-TV series "The Beverly Hillbillies" when they came up with his adaptation. It seems that Carl was in a gangsta's house when the police raided and arrested Key Flo (Charlie Murphy of "Norbit") and he got away not only undetected but also with Flo's dough. Initially, the black security guard refuses to let Carl drive onto the premises, but he relents when Carl threatens him. Carl has moved to Los Angeles with his new Latino wife Lorena (Zulay Henao of "Takers"), his teenage daughter Allie (Bresha Webb of "Ride Along 2"), his son Carl Junior (Alex Henderson of "Creed"), and former prison inmate Cronut (Li Duval of "Scary Movie 5"). What none of Carl's family know is that Carl stole the cash from Key Flo. Furthermore, just about everybody that Carl cheated in Chicago has migrated to Los Angeles to exact what he owes them. The punchline of "Meet the Blacks" is Carl gets off scot-free because when they break into his mansion, they do it on Purge night. Mind you, Carl has no idea what The Purge is all about despite what he learns from his family so he believes that he is safely tucked away in Beverly Hills and nobody will find him. Mike Epps is at his hilarious best as Carl Black, but legendary heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson looks and sounds like a buffoon. This lowest common denominator comedy has a few laughs, and you can count them on one hand. Nevertheless, the set-up and the execution is adequately done. The Nicole DeMasi & Deon Taylor screenplay will keep you smiling with its clichés about African-Americans in Beverly Hills and traditional slang-riddled dialogue. George Lopez has a clever cameo as a Hispanic U.S. President with the punny name El Bama. Of course, "Meet the Blacks" could have been far funnier, but it isn't too embarrassing as knock-offs go.

I rate it a 6/10 because it was an OK movie it wasn't bad and it wasn't too good but it is a good re-watch for me i give it that the only parts i didn't like it the movie were like when they didn't say that many funny jokes i only laughed like 3 times thru the whole movie and that's unusual for me but everything good in the movie was that it lives up to the name and it lived up to a way the purge was but there wasn't much bad or good but i do think it was OK i would say buy it just don't buy the blu-ray it ain't that worth it unless it goes down a little bit but all and all its and OK movie i think that if you watch it you will watch it again.

It has good actors, a good budget, and is funny throughout.It's good entertainment, it doesn't deserve a 2.6 IMDb rating which it has at the time of this review. It deserves about a 6 at least.It's not a hilarious movie at all, but it would be funny to average movie goer. If you like funny movies and merely want to be entertained, it should give you plenty of that. If you are a film critic, you're going to cringe as you watch this movie. That's because film critics are totally different than average movie goers.
