Critics Consensus

Wildly erratic even for a spoof movie, Fifty Shades of Black bears the unfortunate distinction of offering fewer laughs than the unintentionally funny film it's trying to lampoon.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Another depressing "cinema parody" that isn't half as amusing as the film(s) it wants us to laugh at.

Rated: 1/5

Irish Times

50 Shades of Black does, at least, have to good grace to be 50 times more entertaining than the original.

Rated: 2/5

Times (UK)

Even the idea that Fifty Shades of Grey might require parody seems ludicrous.

Honestly, the whole experience would fare better as a skit rather than a feature-length film

A horrible movie and an even worse parody, it's sad that one ends up laughing less with it than with 'Fifty shades of Grey'. [Full review in Spanish]

A moment of Netflix product placement suggests the idea that this would have been better as one no-filler hour of television.

Marlon Wayan's is likable and funny. Even he can not save this silly and crude satire. The story is a loosely based, satirical look at the sexual novel and film, Fifty Shades of Grey. Like all satires it takes things that are memorable from the mainstream film and makes them ridiculous. This film does that. Perhaps it was more relevant, and funnier in 2016 when it originally was released die to the close proximity to the original source material. Also, perhaps it would be better if I actually enjoyed the source material, which I did not. Don;t get me wrong, I couldn't help but laugh at some parts-just not enough.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

If you got sense of humor and don't take everything serious you will like this movie, but if you get ofended by stupid things don't watch this movie.
