POSITIVES…
The quality of the writing be damned, I’m going to give credit to the actors that are clearly trying their best to make this movie work. Kudos to Ed Helms, Terrence Little Gardenhigh, RonReaco Lee, Taraji P. Henson, and Betty Gilpin.
I know comedy is subjective, but I can count how many times I laughed with one hand.
As stupid as the “roundabout scene” kinda is. That’s one of the scenes I actually laughed at.
NEGATIVES…
Just because you are talking and doing outrageous things, does not automatically make it funny.
Just because this movie has a young teen talking and doing outrageous things, does not automatically make it funny.
So many jokes were big giants misses, and there were a lot of attempts of humor.
Just look at the movie’s title. “Coffee & Kareem.” Coffee & Cream. Get it?! Aren’t they so clever?
The oil and water dysfunctional accidental partnership that Coffee and Kareem has is suppose to be entertaining and maybe even charming. However to me, it was more obnoxiously trying too hard.
There’s also a plot turn during the final act of the movie that I don’t think was earned at all.
This movie doesn’t stray too far from other similar movies. Fresh take this is not.
P.S…
