Arguments: FOR: mostly black cast, excessive use of the word “DAMNNNNN” on the preview, Chris Rock, mention of skin color in preview AGAINST: Tracy Morgan is the whitest black guy ever. Looks SEMI-funny… normal black person movies never look funny to me. Discuss. Also, there was a " Death at a Funeral" that came out a few years ago with an all white cast… what the fuck. ---

You should go see it at the Elmwood theater. ---

I think it’s the definition of a black movie. They took an English movie and replaced it with all black stereotype characters. > **[Death at a Funeral (2007)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795368/)** > > Directed by Frank Oz. With Matthew Macfadyen, Peter Dinklage, Ewen Bremner, Keeley Hawes. Chaos ensues when a man tries to expose a dark secret regarding a recently deceased patriarch of a dysfunctional British family. And Tracy Morgan is probably in my top 5 of actors I’d like to never see get work. ---

No it’s not a black movie. And [Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too](http://www.fandango.com/tylerperryswhydidigetmarriedtoo_128626/movieoverview) isn’t a black version of [Couples Retreat](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1078940/). ---

I know it’s a remake. However tracy morgan, at least in 30 Rock, is pure genius. ---

If I was into stereotypical black comedies, and Tracy Morgan wasn’t as funny as the Holocaust then I’d definitely go see this. ---
