8. Fifty Shades Of Black

The Wayans need to be stopped. After stealing a living starring in and making inferior spoofs without any sort of intellectual observation about them, they've finally crossed the line with Fifty Shades Of Black, starring Marlon Wayans as a Christian Grey clone skitting on the famously terrible BDSM-for-beginners book.

If you're judging this as an observation on Fifty Shades, it fails. If you're judging it as a comedy, it fails. If you're judging it as an article of entertainment, it absolutely fails. There is nothing in here that remotely suggests why anyone would have gone out of their way to make it quadruple its budget at the box office.

It's not even a welcome spoof - Fifty Shades Of Grey is a joke all on its own, and feeding it this sort of secondary verification actually elevates it, which is absolutely not okay.
