Sextuplets (2019) — this movie feels like something ripped out of Austin Powers, but majorly downgraded, and that’s saying something. the only reason I watched this is because my brother threw it on and we wanted to watch something very mindnumbingly stupid. I certainly got exactly what I wanted! the movie gets worse and worse as more siblings got introduced. unique and special are the only two positive words I can think of to describe this movie, because funny certainly isn’t one of them. I admit, fine, it does have its moments, but rarely. I respect Marlon Wayans’ attempt here, and I see what he was trying to do. the idea is rather interesting, but all of the characters aside from Alan and his wife are one-dimensional stereotypes, especially ones around black people. it feels rushed, none of the characters are likeable, and for the most part, it’s boring. personally, I have to say that it’s not worth your time, and you’d be better off watching Scary Movie. (Don’t even get me started on the ableism, fatphobia, misogyny, or transphobia.)
