Fifty Shades of Black

Fifty Shades of Black (2016) is an American comedy parody you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Michael Tiddes. Marlon Wayans wrote, produced, and stars in the film as the absurdly wealthy and peculiar Hannah Steele — a send-up of the iconic Grey. Kali Hawk plays the college student drawn into his world, with Fred Willard, Mike Epps, and Jane Seymour rounding out the cast.

The setup mirrors the source material beat for beat: an accidental meeting, a mysterious billionaire with a very specific lifestyle, and a woman who didn't sign up for any of this. Wayans strips away the melodrama and plays it for flat-out farce, filling the gaps with pop-culture riffs in the tradition of the Scary Movie franchise.

Broad and unapologetic, the film works best for viewers who found the original trilogy easier to mock than to love. If that sounds like you, stream Fifty Shades of Black (2016) on iFILM.
