Should Have Been a 15-20 Minute Skit

The American Society of Magical Negroes was a movie that I was sort of looking forward to seeing. Not enough to pay extra but enough to be happy it was on a streaming service. I walked into this knowing that a "magical negro" is a racist trope from 20th century movies, where the token Black is an overly-nice dark skinned person who may or may not have spiritual and/or supernatural abilities that result in peace, happiness or joy for the main white character(s).So I am not one of the people who are whining that this is racist or offensive to white people.I am however saying that it was done poorly. For example, David Allen Grier as Roger (the most magical of negroes) tells younger Justice Smith as Aren that he's only nice to white people because he's afraid of them.Um...you could say this about women being nice to men, about children behaving for authority figures, about common citizens acting passive around the police, about yes white people being afraid of people of color. It's not a convincing idea to me that the Black version of a "nice guy" is only that way because he's afraid of whites.The scene with the ATM was weird too, it wasn't believable or even funny. A seemingly intoxicated and not too bright young woman asks for help with the ATM and asks Aren to hold her purse, which turns into some white men almost beating him up for a mugging that didn't happen. Like, no.Aren's art was also bad. He didn't sell his art because his art sucked. There's just so much wrong with the execution of this film in the first 30 minutes that it causes me to believe this would have been funnier and much more powerful as a Key and Peele or SNL skit.

Give it a fair chance

I love David Allen Grier and Justice Smith and I love their chemistry. This movie did get slow at times, but it did bring things to my attention that I had been previously unaware of. I had such little understanding of what black peoples lives were like on a daily basis and how much discrimination they have to deal with. BLM opened my eyes to a lot and this movie helps further that. I'm baffled by the copious amounts of bad reviews. I wouldn't watch this again, but I'm glad I did once. Things have to change and even though this movie didn't get a great reception it's an important step forward. Keep talking about uncomfortable things, because that's the only way things will change.

Trainwreck Alert

The movie starts off with an interesting idea, hinting at a break from the usual and regular storylines. Yet, it makes you think: are we just going in circles, fixing old mistakes only to make new ones? This theme suggests a deeper exploration, but the film doesn't quite deliver.Despite the promising start, the movie falls short. It relies too heavily on clichés and doesn't develop its characters well. The focus on a magical team feels like a missed opportunity for more meaningful storytelling. Instead, it drifts into familiar territory, resembling the melodrama of daytime TV.However, the movie manages to redeem itself with a surprising small twist at the end. It catches you off guard and adds a touch of humor to an otherwise mediocre story. This comedic turn provides a welcome break from the predictability and leaves a lasting impression.
