Movie Review; Coffee and Kareem

Cast

Ed Helms (James Coffee), Taraji P. Henson (Vanessa Manning), Andrew Bachelor (Rodney), David Alan Grier (Captain Hill), Betty Gilpin (Detective Linda Watts), Terrence Little Garden high (Kareem Manning).

How is Kareem not an adult in child's body? I mean, what child spiels half of what he did in the movie. The level of strong language in the movie was so much I felt the movie should be rated 20.

Spoilers

So, officer James Coffee is a white cop in a ghetto neighborhood who happens to be in love with a black nurse who has a 12 year old son: Kareem. Doing his best to impress his girlfriend's son he agrees to drop him off after school, unbeknowest to him Kareem had other plans. Kareem drags his family into the middle of a drug battle between dirty cops and Coffee.

The choice of characters in the movie was good.

Betty Gilpin (Detective Watts), was a crazy detective. After her casting in The Hunt, seeing her in a comedic eye was new. Being a corrupt cop might not be her forte after all.

Ed Helms (Coffee) is a clown. You might remember the dentist from the Hangover, yes, that's him. But in this movie we get to see him grow some "balls". After losing a suspect and demoted to traffic control he proves himself worthy of the badge.

Terrence Garden high (Kareem), I was at a lost for words while I watched this. Coming off as a punk who shouldn't be messed with, this child was a handful. An absolute terror.

Taraji P Henson (Vanessa), the famous Cookie Lion had to deal with a different kind of mess. Trying to ignite friendship between her boyfriend and her son, she is at crossroads and goes the extra mile to defend what's hers.

Okay, I just have to ask some questions.

Who takes a child to a strip club? A strip club! Gives him a gun too. I'm not sure what the director had in mind, but a child is a child, no matter what.

The comedy wasn't lacking at all. There was enough to last till the movie came to an end. Despite the strong language from the child, the movie was quite interesting. A nice blend of crime and comedy.

Movie Review: Death On The Nile

What a movie! I'm a stickler for investigative crime movies: Knives Out, Sherlock Holmes, Upper Room Fixer series, Enola Homes, etc. Trying to solve the crime with the detective as his mind wanders through a plethora of unusual suspects is just amazing to me and so you can understand why Death On The Nile was so intriguing. Movie Plot Detective Hercule Poirot (This surname needs some work) is back with murder within a murder within a murder within two more murders. While on a visit to Egypt, Poirot uncovers his greatest murder ever as a newlywed couple battles the envious eyes of friends and foe. Okay, so that happened. The movie uses an hour to drive us through what Poirot already tagged as acts 1, 2 and 3. We get to see Linnet shine and fall in love with her friend's man. Linnet First off, this was really low for Linnet. Come on already. Men are surplus and in quanta. She could have been with the doctor or found another one, but she opted for her friend's man. Why woul

Movie Review: The Adam Project

"Oh, that's funny. It farts when I laugh." I just can't.😂🤣🤣 Halo. Another movie review here. We'll be looking at The Adam Project. Movie Review A pilot goes back in time to search for his missing wife in so doing enlists the help of his younger self and his late father. From the first time I saw the trailer I knew I would laugh my ass out. Ryan Reynolds has decided to just feature in any movie he absolutely feels like. Storyline Let's start with the not-so spectacular part of this movie. The storyline wasn't excitingly crazy. It was there. Just there. Time travel with a blend of romance missions, messing with the timeline, embracing loss, and a happy beginning at the end. That pretty much sums it up. The good part is that it was grand. The action, the shooting, the comedy. Acts Ryan Reynolds was Ryan Reynolds and there's no changing him. The way he talks and laughs and just includes those ridiculous lines always has me in a g
