Plot

Christian Black introduces shy college student Hannah Steale to the world of "romance" after she interviews him for her school newspaper. Their kinky relationship stumbles forward despite Christian's shortcomings as a lover and the antics of his racist adoptive mother Claire, his well-endowed brother Eli and Hannah's hyper-sexual roommate Kateesha.

Why It's Fifty Shades Of Garbage

1. Even though it's making fun of Fifty Shades of Grey, it fails miserably.
2. It's incredibly racist, including the title.
3. Extreme overuse of toilet humor.
4. This movie pretty much recreates each scene, but with humor that isn't funny.
5. The characters are NOT funny.
6. Bad acting.
7. Terrible musical score by Jim Dooley.
8. The poster is a blatant rip-off of For Your Eyes Only (see picture below).
9. There is no charm, no heart and no love to this movie overall. Just toilet humor.
10. Despite being a parody and comedy, it's somehow less funny than the original.
    • The funny thing is that Fifty Shades of Grey isn't even a comedy!

Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C" on an A+ to F scale.
