Karen

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.

This film is painfully predictable and socially irrelevant. It simply furthers the idea that people in general (regardless of race) are shallow and dumb. Filmmakers often try to capitalize on current social events and do so with success...this in NOT one of those times.

The plot is childish and perpetuates divisive stereotypes and only serves to create a dark picture of cultural differences.

Don't waste your time on this trash.

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

I couldn't stop laughing at the racially inappropriate comments by the character Karen. The movie is so bad from a serious point, but great for the laughs.

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.
