In a spoof of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Hannah Steele interviews entrepreneur Christian Black (Marlon Wayans) for her roommate's school newspaper. The wealthy and eligible Black quickly learns how clumsy the young woman is. As flirtation leads to attraction, Christian invites Hannah to his home and introduces her to his kinky world of S&M. Despite their different backgrounds, the new couple consistently surprise each other with how far they're willing to go to make their relationship work.

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.

1/5

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

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

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.

This movie isn't even funny at all; also no jokes are hitting hard to be a good joke. Nothing in here was entertaining. Unwatchable

This move was very funny here and there... It did have me feeling a bit sleepy. Good acting also in it. Hits close to home.

Very distasteful and disgusted, I honestly believe that this garbage should be banned.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This could've been hilarious and scathing, but instead it's just juvenile and stupid.

I turned off after 10 minutes. It was just so over the top and ridiculous that it just wasn't funny.
