Karen

This movie was horrible and not for the reasons others have cited. Racism is the least of their worries. Poorly written, terrible acting. Comical scenes (raining constantly in the movie know one gets wet, gun vs sword, ridiculous plots) and at the end soap opera. This was a money grab but it's so bad should go straight to video.

A poor, poor attempt at copying Lakeview Terrace. Acting was atrocious.

Please do not waste 1+ hours of your life watching this movie.

The writer clearly watches way too much ID Channel's Fear Thy Neighbor and ripped off Lakeview Terrance but mostly switched the races of the protagonist and antagonist. I'm Black and I cringed at the dialogue. In real life, no one talks, acts or reacts like this. No one! The absurdity of it all including the horror music every time "Karen" interacted with her new neighbors was hilarious I must admit. Corey Hardrict and Taryn Manning are both pretty good actors. Why did they take part in this poor production? The Good: 1. The leads playing the young couple/new neighbors are likeable and even had patience with their deranged neighbor. 2. The movie didn't make every White person evil - there's a kind rookie cop and "Karen's" children were sweet-natured. 3. There are two sweet moments between said children and the young couple/new neighbors. Unfortunately, those rare nice parts are overshadowed by the preachy agenda and forced storyline.

A constant flood of Black stereotypes. Most of them are concentrated into the housewarming party scene.

Embarrassingly cringy effort to tackle important issues and the viral phenomenon of the Karen is seemingly a parody of itself.

Whether viewing this movie from the perspective of personal experience, social awareness, curiosity, or entertainment, you are unlikely to come away with anything but a missing hour and a half of your life.

Playing like a patchwork of high school level social essay and low rent exploitation, its only strength is Taryn Manning doing her utmost to bring her poorly written character to life.
