My Thoughts
Meet the Blacks is a parody movie, mostly taking a poke at The Purge. In this film, Carl Black comes into some money and movies his family to Beverly Hills. Unfortunately, they arrive right at the start of the annual purge. They soon find themselves on the run from a bunch of crazy people in masks who are out for the blood, including a few members of the KKK. With people attacking on all sides, but missing their target half the time, the family tries to find cover amidst a lot of slapstick comedy that will leave you laughing out loud.
I enjoyed the Purge, this this parody was 10 times better. I laughed so hard my sides hurt. I especially loved seeing George Lopez in the role of the president. Of course, you'll catch a few jokes geared at other movies along the way as well, but it's all in good fun. Sometimes you just need a good laugh, and if that's the case, this is the perfect film for you. It's a great comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously.
