    I definitely have to see the previews before i can answer that question. Nowadays, I think the previews are the best parts of the movie. Truthfully, my gut feeling is saying, “Girl, add this to your Netflix queue and wait for the DVD release date”.

    It will be funny, Martin and Jamie,cant wait to see it.

    What is the thing with Hollyweird putting black men in dresses? Just think about all the ones who “make it” they cross dress. Just interesting!!

    I will ” NOT ” be in line for that movie! It gives a negative out look about black women, like we don’t alreadly have enough sterotypes. I feel like sometimes the sterotypes that are shown on TV are not actually Portrayed by black women. But some black men look at us and protray black women in this way, such as this movie !

    As hard as everything is in todays world we need some laughs… And believe me this is going to be as funny as HELL… Do you thand Jamie and Martin we need something to smile and laugh about….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/A_Lost_Man/ A_Lost_Man

    Another movie featuring men in drag. Not funny

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rapp1ng/ rapp1ng

    I mean seriously…some of y’all commenting about the negativity hollywood is giving black women or men in drag, but wasn’t y’ll the same ones in the 90′s laughing like s**t when these 2 characters originally aired? All im saying is just go see the movie and laugh stop trying to be all high class when u still drink Kool-Aid. Because both of the characters were and hopefully still funny as hell!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ise/ ise

    This would have been funny 10-15 years ago when the characters first came out. Shouldn’t Martin & Jamie have moved on to better roles by now?

    And for reference, plenty of white men have cross-dressed too: Jim Carrey (on In Living Color, as a matter of fact), Dustin Hoffman ,Robin Williams all from off the top of my head.

    I can’t wait. I know it will be funny.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexyMoneyMaker/ SexyMoneyMaker

    This would’ve been funny years ago as one commentor stated, but now a days i`m not to sure. Both characters were wild back then, but we’re in 2010 what was funny 10 or 20 yrs ago was probably when we were kids.
    Martin was not funny to me since big mamas house 1 and Jamie has went on to do bigger and better roles so this is a step backwards for him.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SkoohBNaes/ SkoohBNaes

    I think they should do it as a “family guy” style cartoon.like bey beys kids.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sngwrytr/ sngwrytr

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    rapp1ng, You make the opposing point exactly…

    Yes this was funny TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS AGO when some of us were what? Between 12-15 years old. Yes it was funny back when our brains weren’t fully developed and grasping certain concepts…I mean aren’t you a little tired of seeing what is supposed to be great successes in Hollywhite, always dressing in drag??

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jordan_Mom/ Jordan_Mom

    Well this movie should set black people back another 400 years. I’m sick of black men in drag, s**tz not funny anymore. I’m sick of Tyler Perry movies and I’m sick of black men in drag period! WE NEED SOMETHING NEW AND ORIGINAL TO LOOK AT!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/venitabrooks/ venitabrooks

    Another movie degrading and. Stereotyping blacks of course we support it..then we wonder why we are degraded and disrespected in real life.smh

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/0VancouverHurts/ 0VancouverHurts

    Omg They were so funny! I don’t know who’s funnier! Probably WANDA LOL But now that these gentlemen are older, I don’t think it will be that funny anymore. As Cali said, Yes it was funny back when our brains weren’t fully developed. Back then everything was funny but now we just seen it all. Well I might watch the movie or might not – need to see the preview.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/duane-g/ duane-g

    This movie has the potential to be real funny. I can see it.

    BTW, Ving Rhames as a drag queen is down right scarrrry!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/younghazelj/ younghazelj

    number 1. will, denzel, sydney, don cheadle, morris, ect don’t dress up as women. but wait, THEY ARE NOT COMEDIANS!!! white actors do drag tooo…did we all forget that?! or are you just mad that’s who they play as a black women? if it doesn’t portray you, then why are you so mad? and if it sis, why don’t you rise above it? and they did put up the wayans, who by the way, if you forgot, played WHITE CHICKS. so i don’t know where all the stereotyping black women came from. whether or not i see this movie depends on how it does and how i feel about it’s “straight to DVD” status. I’m so tired of letting the little s**t get to all of us. if you wanna see it, go see it! if not, then so be it!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Eb3nFl0w/ Eb3nFl0w

    In all honesty, I don’t it offensive, but come to think about it, I don’t find it funny anymore either. My sense of humor has evolved since I was 13. Guys in drag was funny the first 50 times I saw it now it’s just like ok we’re on elmwood street, big whoop.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/THEMRGTOWN/ THEMRGTOWN

    It’s a comedy…it has nothing to do with history.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1SexcellentGal/ 1SexcellentGal

    lmao, I remember some of those. I never did see Arsenio playing a female, Ving, Wanda, Wesley, but Sheneneh, Resputia, Madea are funny as hell. Love me some Madea. Sh!t I’m lmao right now thinking of some ish Madea did in those movies

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Chocolate1981PA/ Chocolate1981PA

    HELL YEAH!!!IT WILL BE HILARIOUS! THOSE TWO COMPLIMENT EACHOTHER IN COMEDY FOREAL.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kaikai7/ kaikai7

    I am almost ashamed to say that I will be going to see that hot ghetto mess, because the characters Wanda (Living Color) and Shenanay (Martin) were 2 of the funniest characteristics that I have ever seen! When I saw the preview last yr during an award show I cracked up!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kaikai7/ kaikai7

    I meant characters ,lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ceyisha/ Ceyisha

    OMG FOR SURE HELLA FUNNY BECAUSE JAMIE CANT HELP BUT OUT DO HIMSELF. AND HELL MARTIN WILL BE HOLDING HIS OWN.

    @venitabrooks and Jordan_Mom — you’re both so right-on point. This stereotypical crap really does set us back. WAAAAAY back. All I keep thinking about are the scores of WHITE college students who used to have Shenehneh and Wanda “parties” at many universities across the states (and maybe they still do — with some updated twists thrown in). They’d dress up in clothes they deemed as reflecting “The Hood” and do their best drag on Foxx & Lawrence’s characters. One doesn’t need to think very hard to imagine how they regarded their Black classmates. I was already out of college by time this behavior took hold, but I had a large number Black friends and relatives who witnessed these kinds of gatherings during their college years in the 90s (of course, they were never invited) — and the cross section of schools included a wide spectrum from the Ivy Leagues all the way down to small liberal arts colleges.

    I understand that these guys are funny comedians, but it’s troubling that people seem to be forgetting how people of color — particularly Blacks — still don’t have a balanced presence on the big screen in Hollywood. We are still regarded as being great comedians and buffoons, but NOT appropriate for mainstream/non-Tyler Perry helmed leading roles in serious dramas, etc. (And, yes, we love seeing you Denzel, Halle, Paula and Zoe but there are a LEGION of other great Black actors out there who also deserve good, substantial roles to choose from) I think I’d feel totally different if Black actors had a solid spectrum of non-stereotypical performances instead of being pigeon-holed.

    Think of it…how many years has it been since they’ve performed these 2 characters?? Has it been a decade — or more?? There’s no other dignified original roles for them to play??? What’s next, Eddie Murphy reviving his Buckwheat character??? I can just hear Dr. Dorothy Height, Dr. King and Malcolm X roll over in their graves.
