Ugh, here we go again with the black-guy-in-drag "comedy" movie. Again. Except now there are two guys. I swear hollywood just recycles the same crap over and over again. And black actors: you all need to consider finding another line of work when you have to take Sh@@#4y roles like this to make an honest dollar.

I agree! Once again putting a black man in a dress. Except for now they went out and got a younger black guy so he can represent the youth. Hollywood is trying to turn out all the brothers...
I think Madea in a dress is enough. I know everybody is going to say that I am negative but come on, when you turn on the television all you see now is a bunch of gay pride brothers with lipstick and dresses on. So sick of it. Bring back our real men

I agree, this movie is going to be funny as HECK. Can't wait till this one comes out. I didn't like Big Mama 2 that was the worse movie EVER! Hopefully this one will do better.

I believe that Black men in Hollywood are as big an enemy to Black women in America as White people. Only Black men would wholeheartedly embrace and exploit the racist stereotypes against Black women that started back in the days of Mammy and Aunt Jemima - the only difference is that now Black men and their white masters have teamed up to relegate Black women to the bottom of the trash heap.
How many times can another knee-grow play the whole fat black woman routine? It's ridiculous and demeaning. The fact that so many Black woman say nothing in protest proves that we truly are women suffering from the typical symptoms of abused and battered woman syndrome.
Just as women who stay quiet after they are beaten by their male counterparts, the public flogging Black women are taking QUIETLY from Black and white men and white women is tantamount to the same thing - battered woman syndrome.
Black woman, it's time to stand up to the abuse you have taken for twenty years from Black men who have teamed up with the media rap, TV, films and movie entertainment, etc) to degrade you, embarrass, keep you as the butt of all jokes and destroy your image.

Never seen Medea's Family Reunion?? Medea taught a woman how to stand up to abuse. How to fight back. The fact remains this has nothing to do with Woman's rights. This is Producers in Hollywood. Writers, Editors, Management, Directors, and all the other people that put together a movie. Truth remains that there is less black men dressing up as black woman then there is black woman in movies, so why should they feel threatened?

Dave Chappelle asked the question when he was doing his comedy..."why does Hollywood always want to see a Black man in a dress?" He said they asked him to wear a dress for a role and he said "no."
What's up with the dresses?
I know we want to work....but do we have to just take any role or do anything?
