Really enjoyed this movie. I think if you go into as a comedy it's disappointing. But if you pay attention to the theme you find the real value behind the movie and its message.
Not all Blakc people have found their confidence and identity in predominantly white spaces, and this movie champions the insecure, introverted, awkward Black person.
It's a good movie about empowerment, and the magic is so minimal, that it emphasizes the reality of what Black people need to feel empowered in spaces they don't feel comfortable in. The "magic" throughout this movie is really just being a mental health counselor to the fraile egos of the people they come across in white society.
Most importantly, it's about breaing free from the old guard and old ways that previous Black generations have created and allowing the younger generation to break rules and redefine the Black experience for themselves and others.
I think it was presented as comedy to make the conversation lighter. Great cast. The romance aspect is simple, but I like a bit of rom-com in stories. Hope they make a part 2.
