The thing about Beyoncé acting is that she's just well...Beyoncé. She never really disappears into her roles because her persona is too strong. That said, Dreamgirls slapped and everyone ate in that movie.
No, she just can’t act. Her persona doesn’t swallow up anything. She was okay in dream girls, but the entire cast was so good that her performance didn’t really negatively affect anything. She wasn’t the best actor, but she did okay
@@chelseygarrett4221 this comment is funny because it’s so relatable , I literally have said that The Rock is just him in majority of his roles now a days. I don’t hate it , but he’s hyped up so much.
Her persona is the opposite of strong. She is very... pageant girl. Someone who is always in control but never really seems to be able to let go and let her personality shine. She comes across as clinical. Clean. No room for errors or offense or any sense of vulnerability. Even some of the supposedly candid and emotional moments in her documentary felt rehearsed and unnatural. Her Nala sounded robotic and stiff af and her Etta James didn't feel natural and too put on. Whitney Houston was actually someone with a strong personality, whose strong sassy Newark personality shone through in any role and even her songs.
It's not just that Beyoncé acts like she's about to sing, every line she delivers sounds like the filler dialogue in a musical before the next number starts
Movies like this put a very stark unintentional light on how shitty our society is about male victims of sexual harassment, assault and other obsessive behavior. Feels bad man
@@liteflightify For me, I kind of take it seriously because the other girl, Lisa I think was so annoying to me when I watched it when I was younger and the male colleague was also shit too,so I was happy when Lisa was gone like just kill her bitch. I actually accidentally watch it because another movie has similar name so I end clicking on this movie.
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 I don’t think he was dismissing it, he was saying that other people will dismiss it because it’s not exactly a thriller masterpiece
There's a real darkness to why the husband never said anything. He is a dark-skinned black man with a pale blonde blue-eyed white woman deciding she wants him. At any point she could have screamed he attacked her and his whole life would have been destroyed. No matter what he said he was in physician to be treated like a monster. Nobody treated it seriously when he was attacked And he surrounded by white men in his job. This was not looking good for him.
@@kissit012 Thank you for proving the point and the victim blaming. Also you forget that this movie came out years ago, way before racial issues and rape culture were spoken about much. Even nowadays, men are seen as inherently aggressive and sexual, and black men even more so. If a young, skinny, conventionally pretty white woman had accused him of assaulting her, people would have said exactly what you did. "Oh he's stronger than her, oh he's her boss why didn't he just push her away, oh well he was friendly with her a few times so it can't have been r*pe, oh well he's a man and men are always interested in sex" etc etc etc Hell regardless of all that, it is NEVER the victim's fault that they were assaulted. It is NEVER the fault of the person who was hurt that someone traumatized them. It is always 100% the perpetrator's fault. Period, the end.
Exactly. I could be wrong, but we haven't had a movie like this after this movie. Should there be a limit on how often we get movies that highlight what males (particularly males whom aren't toxic) experience due to toxic females and how underreported it is?
Idk, a half a decade later the era of “believe all woman” feminism would probably be creeping in and at that point it would seem hardly any man would be in a position to tell the world some crazy lady be creeping on them.
My ex had a lady coworker show up at his house with a gun threatening to hurt herself if he didn't "admit" he was in love with her (he was single at the time but barely knew this lady). His male colleagues all thought it was funny.
How would that be funny. Someone threatening suicide because they want to manipulate someone into being with them sounds horrifying. That plays into the perception of men being vulnerable as well as people with serious mental issues being mocked and not taken seriously (like that woman needs A LOT of therapy to not do shit like that as well as the guy)
Gwen Sfefani talked about this after filming The Aviator; that she realised how much of her stage performances is purposeful overacting and how hard it is to tone it down for a screen performance
This movie pissed me off a lot for the way derrick was not really seen as a victim. I mean, the man was assaulted, stalked and framed for a crime he didn't do but in the end, it's derrick who apologized to sharon and made up to her. What the hell? But then again, it mirrors reality awfully so I'm not surprised.
The thing i do like about this movie is that it can start a discussion on women sexually harassing men and how little its taken seriously and how male victims are very unlikely to come forward.
and once again it's male patriarchy that's really the root problem on why males don't even come forward to talking about it because other men themselves don't take it seriously and not to mention how men only bring up these issues when they have to downplay women going through this too

@@heroshinx693 i think the thing with the friend is that HE wanted to sleep with psycho chick, so he projected his desires onto Beyonce's Husband and just assumed he'd feel the same way. Bro was trying to live vicariously through his friend!

Oddly enough I always thought Beyoncé was sorta the opposite of other bad actors. I think she does high-intensity scenes fairly well. It's the scenes where she just has to be a normal person and act natural where she really struggles lmao. It's honestly adorable. It doesn't surprise me at all that she struggles with acting despite being a performer. She's talked about how's she's not a naturally charismatic person and was initially pretty timid and shy. Her on-stage persona is very clearly something she crafted to be able to cope with it all. Watch her in interviews and she can be pretty awkward and sometimes struggles to find the right words. It's pretty endearing actually. The scenes were she argues with Idris and the where she drags the final destination girl through the house...truly immaculate. I don't know what to tell you 🤷🏿♀️
Kennie, the Beyhive was too busy trying to keep House of Dereon in stores to focus on defending this film. Also, 2009 is the same year she was hitting award shows for "I Am... Sasha Fierce" so the world collectively decided to forget/forgive this movie.
No one forgot about this movie it was pretty popular, especially among black people. No expected it to be good so instead of being a joyless nitpick we just decided to have a good time. Try it, you might like it
When Beyoncé was screaming and Kennie started playing backing vocals I was dying laughing. I bet I sounded like a damn hyena😂 Edit: I’m rewatching this video and thought I’d add a time stamp. 23:00
I watched this movie on a class trip in theaters when it came out. During the fight scene all I remember hearing is "F**K HER UP BEY!!" I gave Beyonce the benefit of the doubt cuz it seems like no matter what role she's in people will only see her as Beyonce. I gotta watch it again with 2022 eyes.
imo it was too light for the f*cking up to be as big of a deal as it was. She didn't even hurt the baby. The husband didn't even lose his job. Beyonce didn't suffer any damage from it other than being suspicious for a little bit and then scared for her baby for a few minutes. There was no tension. There were no stakes. Girl literally tried to kill HERSELF, which was the most dramatic thing that happened. I wish something more had occurred when he got roofied but nope. There wasn't even a message of "don't think being carelessly flirty is okay", nothing. Where's the ONE movie where the baby actually dies and there's real drama?
One thing I like about this movie is how it portrays men when they are victims of sexual harassment, especially when they're harasser is a beautiful woman. It's sad, but true that people will victim shame men when/if they are put in this situation.
I think Beyonce's been training to sing so long that that's just how her mouth moves when she talks. Even in all other movies she's played her voice is so pretty and sing songy that you assume she's about to start singing 😂
This movie made me realize how terrifying & undermining it is that people just automatically believe a man cheated/slept with a woman because she's pretty and said so and if he said it didn't happen he /must/ be lying. Like you telling someone the truth but everyone's just like, "She's a beautiful woman I don't believe you said no, why would you say no??" 🙄
Exactly. It also make you question the whole 'beauty' thing. Just because someone thinks a woman is beautiful, doesn't mean the guy thinks shes beautiful or vice versa. I've seen plenty of dudes that girls think are attractive and I'm like, nah I'll pass!
Exactly i once had a conversation with a man that said to me i would never get r word because i alway want free sex and so do a lot of men, i think he is sexist af and cant understands the world isn't like he is and so do all the sexist men, they are the center of their own universe and everything outside their experience or opinions is not valid or do not exist
I think it's the toxic male mentality which things that men will sleep with any woman who is willing and that men don't say 'no'. I've known guys who will have sex with girls who they have no respect nor liking for because the opportunity to have sex was there. I view both parties to have some degree of trauma issues when it comes to sex and need therapy...serious therapy. But that frat boy mentality is out there 'she's hot, you can't be serious you don't want to tap that'. I'm glad to see that SH and SA of men is starting to be taken seriously in society or at least social media. However, if schools taught comprehensive sex education, including consent, SA and rape would go down exponentially.
@@cheriremily9360 or if people stop with the gender rolls since it’s dumb, and stupid. Just let there be straight femboys and straight tomboys as well as gay muscular men and lesbians girly girls. No stereotypes of males and females or sexuality. Like that would be nice for once. Although a lot of judgmental people assuming people are a certain way because they act like the stereotype.
Cadillac records and dreamgirls we're Beyonce's best movie roles and I believe that has something to do with the fact that she was singing in those films I wouldn't mind seeing Beyonce in another musical
Like I've seen other people mention, this just wasnt Beyonce's best acting. However, I still liked this movie because drama is fun and they amped it up, especially the fight scene. Some good points are made...she does act like she's about to sing! Other movies she did she actually does end up singing!
She is not meant for to be actress, tbh. Beyonce is a terrible actress but a phenomenal singer she was bad at voice acting in the lion king as well. I still love the soundtrack and of course brown skin girl is my favorite but doesn't change that she cannot even simply voice act as well.
@@simoneturner88 What do you mean 'how'? Like that's an easy skill. If it was, they would just get any for their films. Would looove to hear YOU voice act. Since you got so much to say.
@@spongebob8157 considering I’m a theater kid with voice acting credits you can easily look up my credentials so 🤷🏽♀️. But I’m sure she appreciates you defending her honor 👍🏽
I definitely like the stalker movies where the people involved are faithful, they're just being harassed by an insane person. I know that seems weird because they deserve it less but I can never really sympathize with the characters that cheat then they're all "No, leave me alone, crazy"
Imagine if this movie choose to not let him be at the Christmas Party. Like maybe he's all like, "Nah, I don't really feel like it.", calls in sick just to spend time with his wife...
@@heatherduke5410 , Honestly, the day someone makes a thriller like that, but somehow manage to make trouble arrive for a protagonist in different ways, would be hands down the greatest movie of the year.
Honestly, I loved Beyonce in Austin Powers' Goldmember, but I've never seen anything else she's acted in, so I didn't really have anything else to compare her performance in it to.
I think dream girls and cadillac records was her best work, maybe because those were music based movies. In pink panther as well, she played a pop star.
@@ayannabranchcomb7535 right. She does amazing in movies where……she is playing a singer lol. Because the majority of her scenes are singing 😂 I liked her in goldmember but Austin powers in itself is satirical and not to be taken seriously.
@@simoneturner88 yeah. Comedies and musicals I think are her best bet. This wasn’t offensively bad to me because as a kid I aint know good or bad acting 😂 and now I’m more invested in Idris story, she’s a side character to me. Also all of her acting sins can be forgiven for the absolute gold she gave us beating that woman’s ass from the back of the house to the front okay?????
“The Bey Hive always wants to come for somebody. But Obsessed was garbage and if you care for Beyoncé so much, what happened to dereon?……..Exactly.” -Kennie 2019 or 2020. I’m not sure of the date but I love this quote.
I love that movie, half of the reason is because she was in it. Otherwise it's a great movie, I also love the song she sang in the credits. I think it's called rise up.
Yes! I recommended something similar as an idea for BHM, but this is even better. Basically a Screen Gems series b/c they love putting out entertaining garbage.
When the Bough Breaks is the worst of all of these 🤣 like, bad, but not in a fun way, just BAD. No matter that the lead is utterly gorgeous(the one sent racist comments for dating Riker lynch's brother?) she still couldn't save it.
"I've never seen a man who looked better after shaving" KENNIE have you never seen someone with a neckbeard? Have you never seen someone who grows facial hair in patches? What about people who can grow a beard but no moustache? I would say these are examples of ppl who look better shaven.
My brother’s hair comes in rust red. His hair on his head is blonde. Every time he doesn’t shave, he looks like he has Cheetos-dust on his face. Some men can’t grow shit and shouldn’t try.
Ali Larter made this movie interesting in my opinion. I have always loved her acting. For some reason she plays mentally unstable and distraught very well 🤔 Final Destination 1 and 2… Heroes…
I remember my sister and I rented this from the library and kept watching the fight scene at the end, in different languages with English subtitles, so we could learn international fighting words🤣😹
I remember watching the Lemomade film and chuckling occasionally because in between the singing, poetry and posing, there’s moments where Beyoncé has to act again and you get a little glimpse of this 2000s goodness.
I actually thought the same as every one about the whole "Beyonce is just beyonce when she's acting" but then i thought "Its it that she can't get into character? Or is it that the idea, image, and persona of Beyonce is so ingrained in what we know of her that when she tries to break away we can't get that image out of our head. Bc tbh Beyonce character wasn't really all that compelling or interesting. She seemed like a regular degular wife and mother. Thats all we knew of the character, wasn't much personality. So really Beyonce didn't have much to work with to begin with. So thought "Maybe is not that her acting in the movie is bad, perhaps the character is just boring enough where all we see is the persona of Beyonce attached to an already pretty bland character."
I love that this is one of the very few movies where they don’t pretend men are completely incapable of turning down the sexual advances of an attractive woman.
Ooooh this upload is right on time Kennie. Okay, the fight scene at the end PURE COMEDY because Beyonce acting is so bad that it's good😂 oooh good movies and a glam suggestion THE BIRDCAGE, you'll love it. It's everything🥰🙌🏿
Which Birdcage: the French original, La Cage aux Folles, or the American remake? No one talks about the original and both are worth it. And then there is the musical. This would make for a great More Butter production episode.
You want another bad Beyoncé movie? Try “Carmen: A Hip Hopera.” It’s a hip hop musical based on the opera, Carmen, obviously. I think Mekhi Phifer is also in it. I haven’t seen it since 2008, but I’d be willing to revisit it if Kennie will walk me through it!
The tarot card scene was pretty brilliant. Everything else felt like it was part of a different movie or even a sitcom until a scene/song pops up to make it obvious it’s a Carmen adaptation XD
Beyoncé’s acting aside, I used to LOVE this movie as a kid. It was the one “adult” movie that my mom let me watch and I used to watch it over and over. Plus the plot and story was great
If you love a thriller that has lost it's mind then Hand that Rocks' the Cradle is amazing. It's from the nineties so there are some problematic elements. But it wears it's crazy on it's sleeve and I can't help but love it.
@@ross8093 I feel like musicals are her thing because she sings and because in musicals you can be over the top and campy , so she fits right in. She definitely should do more musicals if she decides to act some more.
@@yugen8195 I was also thinking that the character centred around being kinda more reserved and then being emotional in songs even more than other characters in the movie so it relaly suits her but tbh not the worst actress around I think shes just one who needs to be written for not placed in a role
I can't help but have so much nostalgia attached to this movie! I believe I was a freshman & went with a group of friends to see it at the mall. The audience had a lot to say to Ali Larter's character throughout, but that final fight had everyone yelling & cheering on Beyoncé 😂 It was the best!
@@kikigam7113 lol 100% I'm hoping Kennie will do a video or an episode of In Defense Of for Glitter because nobody can tell me it's a bad movie 👀 purely for nostalgia 😆 & Valarie Pettiford singing 🤩
I've known too many men who were turned away and laughed at by the police when they tried to make a report about being abused by their wife or girlfriend. Rough times
beyonce is one of those celebrities that have such a powerful image and persona that it's super hard for them to shake it off and immerse in a role. i mean greatness is hard to be concealed lol
Kennie, I am once again BEGGING for you to lend your expertise to skewering the movie Something New. It is a movie that bravely asks "isn't it time for black people to learn to love white people? Don't Black women know they don't need straight hair to be beautiful?". It has the best cast (Sanaa Latham, Taraji P Henson, Alfre Woodard) all acting their butts off, and yet is horrifyingly awful
This movie dares to question our deeply held stereotypes: We thought all rich Black women met their future husbands at debutante balls, but what if they didn't? We thought working class men weren't husband material, but what if this one is a college educated white man? We thought Donald Faison was already as obnoxious as possible in Clueless and Scrubs, but what if he could turn it up to 11?
I remember being really hyped for this movie when it first came out and coming to realize that it might've been solely due to its high publicity as a Beyonce film and not Literally Anything Else
This was just a bad movie for Beyonce. She does good in the movies where she sings. Oh pink panther and gold member were cute too. Sidenote: I feel you on the facial hair thing. Keep the facial hair 😂
Watching this in theaters... was an experience as a child. I had to be like.. 14/15 in 2009. And hearing everyone cheer when Beyoncé was beatin her ass in a "black woman dialogue" was just... *chefs kiss*
omg I saw this in theaters, and EVERYONE in the audience was yelling at the screen by the end. so good. i love this movie. eta: you brought up a good point about her acting and how its methodical. you're right, she's used to STAGE acting. she's "bad on film" maybe, but that's because her mindset is about stage movements where you have to be over the top so folks in the cheap seats can see you. that's why musical theater acting is so weird compared to film. i see now what her whole problem is lol
Now Kennie you know it would’ve been a different type of hell for a white woman to be found dead in his bed. At least if she’s alive they can SEE how delusional she was as opposed to blaming her death completely on him
I remember watching this movie in the discount theatre, and the intro where they set up Idris Elba and Beyonce's life I was like, "ooh something is going to happen with that table". And I was right. And that is ALL I remember about that movie
"As a negro in 2022" 🤣🤣🤣👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 I felt that in my soul. The casual racial slurs are taking me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀 I love you, Kennie! Great 100th episode 💕💕 You go, girl!
A bad movie that I unironically love is that one Beautiful Creatures movie that they made in 2013. It's based off the equally as bad books and I wasted an entire evening on it so why not love it, yk? It would be cool if you could do that one sometime
I remember reading those in middle school and they're still on my shelf but they were pretty bad lol. The first one was okay, but by the end, it was really dumb. The movie was just..not it lol
I went to see this with my middle school friends so it’ll always have a place on my childhood. That being said I love B…. But yes some of these line deliveries are rough. But I would argue the kitchen fight was good and that red lace front wig she had was 🔥
LMFAO “Lisa Cosby” 🥴🤣🤣 You’re hilarious Ken this video reminded me why I subscribed, I already thought this movie was hilarious but you made it better!!
Beyoncé telling Idris to go to the Four Seasons if hell is booked up is an underrated moment in US history that should be taught in schools. Don't agree? Argue with the wall.
You're the only one to talk about the four seasons quote. With my pea brain, please explain this quote to me because I feel really stupid not being able to understand from back then when i watched it in theaters all the way to now years later as a young adult.

Watching Beyoncé beat the shit out of that woman at the end is all I remember from this movie and that feels right.
That scene is why I love this movie

Right that scene just brought me 😊

Lmfao 🤣😭
Yeah, dude really needed a least Stringer Bell facial hair.
When Beyoncé was screaming and Kennie started playing backing vocals I was dying laughing. I bet I sounded like a damn hyena😂
Edit: I’m rewatching this video and thought I’d add a time stamp. 23:00
I just got to that part! 🤣 Kennie, MY LUNGS! 🤣💀🤣
Thank you for the time stamp ❤
I watched this movie on a class trip in theaters when it came out. During the fight scene all I remember hearing is "F**K HER UP BEY!!"
I gave Beyonce the benefit of the doubt cuz it seems like no matter what role she's in people will only see her as Beyonce. I gotta watch it again with 2022 eyes.
imo it was too light for the f*cking up to be as big of a deal as it was. She didn't even hurt the baby. The husband didn't even lose his job. Beyonce didn't suffer any damage from it other than being suspicious for a little bit and then scared for her baby for a few minutes. There was no tension. There were no stakes. Girl literally tried to kill HERSELF, which was the most dramatic thing that happened. I wish something more had occurred when he got roofied but nope. There wasn't even a message of "don't think being carelessly flirty is okay", nothing. Where's the ONE movie where the baby actually dies and there's real drama?
Y’all watched this on a school trip??? Lol that’s a progressive school!
One thing I like about this movie is how it portrays men when they are victims of sexual harassment, especially when they're harasser is a beautiful woman. It's sad, but true that people will victim shame men when/if they are put in this situation.
Gawd this movie has the iconic scene where Beyonce is Litterally dragging the mistress to the sstairs and i m here for it
Yes that fight was epic!
I think Beyonce's been training to sing so long that that's just how her mouth moves when she talks. Even in all other movies she's played her voice is so pretty and sing songy that you assume she's about to start singing 😂
This movie made me realize how terrifying & undermining it is that people just automatically believe a man cheated/slept with a woman because she's pretty and said so and if he said it didn't happen he /must/ be lying. Like you telling someone the truth but everyone's just like, "She's a beautiful woman I don't believe you said no, why would you say no??" 🙄
Exactly. It also make you question the whole 'beauty' thing. Just because someone thinks a woman is beautiful, doesn't mean the guy thinks shes beautiful or vice versa. I've seen plenty of dudes that girls think are attractive and I'm like, nah I'll pass!
Agreed I think people are attractive, but i would never do anything if I had the chance. Like that’s freaking weird.
Exactly i once had a conversation with a man that said to me i would never get r word because i alway want free sex and so do a lot of men, i think he is sexist af and cant understands the world isn't like he is and so do all the sexist men, they are the center of their own universe and everything outside their experience or opinions is not valid or do not exist
I think it's the toxic male mentality which things that men will sleep with any woman who is willing and that men don't say 'no'. I've known guys who will have sex with girls who they have no respect nor liking for because the opportunity to have sex was there. I view both parties to have some degree of trauma issues when it comes to sex and need therapy...serious therapy. But that frat boy mentality is out there 'she's hot, you can't be serious you don't want to tap that'. I'm glad to see that SH and SA of men is starting to be taken seriously in society or at least social media. However, if schools taught comprehensive sex education, including consent, SA and rape would go down exponentially.
@@cheriremily9360 or if people stop with the gender rolls since it’s dumb, and stupid. Just let there be straight femboys and straight tomboys as well as gay muscular men and lesbians girly girls. No stereotypes of males and females or sexuality. Like that would be nice for once. Although a lot of judgmental people assuming people are a certain way because they act like the stereotype.
She didn't get away with Obsessed. She gotta way with Cadillac Records. obsessed is ICONIC.
We got
"YOU TOUCHED MY CHILD"
''She does a great, Beyonce job'' I am losing it. Kennie is my favorite comedian.
Cadillac records and dreamgirls we're Beyonce's best movie roles and I believe that has something to do with the fact that she was singing in those films I wouldn't mind seeing Beyonce in another musical
Have you seen The Fighting Temptations with her a Cuba Gooding Jr? That soundtrack was amazing.
Those movies were also garbage
@@kaylao.3326 I like them especially Beyonce's performance in them but I respect that opinion
Like I've seen other people mention, this just wasnt Beyonce's best acting. However, I still liked this movie because drama is fun and they amped it up, especially the fight scene.
Some good points are made...she does act like she's about to sing! Other movies she did she actually does end up singing!
Yeah same like she acts good enough to blend in and not notice
She is not meant for to be actress, tbh. Beyonce is a terrible actress but a phenomenal singer she was bad at voice acting in the lion king as well. I still love the soundtrack and of course brown skin girl is my favorite but doesn't change that she cannot even simply voice act as well.
@@ShanyShannon I thought I was the only one who said “she’s even bad at voice acting…..how?!” lol
@@simoneturner88 What do you mean 'how'? Like that's an easy skill. If it was, they would just get any for their films. Would looove to hear YOU voice act. Since you got so much to say.
@@spongebob8157 considering I’m a theater kid with voice acting credits you can easily look up my credentials so 🤷🏽♀️. But I’m sure she appreciates you defending her honor 👍🏽
I definitely like the stalker movies where the people involved are faithful, they're just being harassed by an insane person. I know that seems weird because they deserve it less but I can never really sympathize with the characters that cheat then they're all "No, leave me alone, crazy"
I remember this movie. It was a hot mess and I loved it. It was just really fun. I like that Idris Elba's character didn't cheat.
Imagine if this movie choose to not let him be at the Christmas Party. Like maybe he's all like, "Nah, I don't really feel like it.", calls in sick just to spend time with his wife...
@@osmanyousif7849 The movie would've been a lot shorter, tbh. And we wouldn't have had to deal with that woman being such a creep with him.
@@heatherduke5410 , Honestly, the day someone makes a thriller like that, but somehow manage to make trouble arrive for a protagonist in different ways, would be hands down the greatest movie of the year.
@@osmanyousif7849 That’d actually be a really interesting premise! I’d totally watch it.
"Patriarchy doesn't help nobody"
This is the kind of commentary that makes me come back to you over and over again
as a Beyoncé fan I will defend this movie with my life
however….
I agree
Why not just let this trash go?
Lol i agree 😆
lol
Whenever Beyonce is in ANY movie, I already know what its hittin for since Carmen: A Hip Hopera. Thank you 2001 MTV 😂😂😂
That was a good movie lol 🤣 don't debate me
I loved that movie as a kid!! I randomly look up the music every purple moon
Ooh, that's a throwback. The scene where she gets the tarot card reading by Wyclef Jean is one of my highlights from that movie.
@@LisaFrank39 Never spoke on the movie only on Beyonce 😂
yesss exactly what i thought of 😂😂 i feel like she acts better when she singing 😩😩
You should watch Dismissed, with Dylan Sprouse. He's like a crazy teen that gets an A in every class by any means necessary lol
Lolz that's a great choice for this series! 😄 😂
Lmao that sounds great!
Yes! I would love to hear her take on it.
Oh, I remember that movie!
It was . . . very anticlimactic.
Honestly, I loved Beyonce in Austin Powers' Goldmember, but I've never seen anything else she's acted in, so I didn't really have anything else to compare her performance in it to.
She's done dream girls, fighting temptations and a few more after that.
I think dream girls and cadillac records was her best work, maybe because those were music based movies. In pink panther as well, she played a pop star.
@@ayannabranchcomb7535 right. She does amazing in movies where……she is playing a singer lol. Because the majority of her scenes are singing 😂 I liked her in goldmember but Austin powers in itself is satirical and not to be taken seriously.
@@simoneturner88 yeah. Comedies and musicals I think are her best bet. This wasn’t offensively bad to me because as a kid I aint know good or bad acting 😂 and now I’m more invested in Idris story, she’s a side character to me. Also all of her acting sins can be forgiven for the absolute gold she gave us beating that woman’s ass from the back of the house to the front okay?????
Dreamgirls and Cadillac records was good honestly anything that shes singing in is good but her acting isn't good
“The Bey Hive always wants to come for somebody. But Obsessed was garbage and if you care for Beyoncé so much, what happened to dereon?……..Exactly.” -Kennie 2019 or 2020. I’m not sure of the date but I love this quote.
Omg as soon as I saw the thumbnail yesterday, I had that quote in my head😂😂😂
First quote that popped in my head.
I swear I hear someone say something along the lines of this
It’s 2022
Girl we’re in 2022
I would say that Beyonce does a lot better when she just voices a character. I actually liked the way that she portrayed the Queen in Epic.
Dude I forgot that was Beyoncé
I love that movie, half of the reason is because she was in it. Otherwise it's a great movie, I also love the song she sang in the credits. I think it's called rise up.
@@kimberleywilliams7802 Yessss!! That song is amazing!
Got that movie for my birthday,it was pretty great ^^
i lovee when she voices characters. i remember she did a wow wow wubbzy character and that just brings back so many memories 😭
Clean shaven Idris is a depowered Idris. Shaving is like punching someone out of super saiyan
I stand by my opinion that she BODIED Dreamgirls! Deena Jones was everything.
@Day PERIOD! she was excellent
She was excellent in dreamgirls and Cadillac records but if it's not a music biography movie she's not a good actress
That movie kind of scared me when I was younger but rewatching it again... I can tell why I was scared 😭
That scene with Bey bopping tf out of that chick with the wooden beam has lived rent free in my head for over a decade 😂
I think other similar movies that star Black actors will make a great series: The Perfect Guy, When the Bough Breaks, The Intruder, No Good Deed, etc.
All of these
omg I need No Good Deed on her radar immediately!!
Yes! I recommended something similar as an idea for BHM, but this is even better. Basically a Screen Gems series b/c they love putting out entertaining garbage.
I feel so seen. I remember ALL those films.
When the Bough Breaks is the worst of all of these 🤣 like, bad, but not in a fun way, just BAD. No matter that the lead is utterly gorgeous(the one sent racist comments for dating Riker lynch's brother?) she still couldn't save it.
"I've never seen a man who looked better after shaving" KENNIE have you never seen someone with a neckbeard? Have you never seen someone who grows facial hair in patches? What about people who can grow a beard but no moustache? I would say these are examples of ppl who look better shaven.
The only exceptions
Nah, even neckbeards look better with tailored facial hair. Just shave the neck and you're good.
My brother’s hair comes in rust red. His hair on his head is blonde. Every time he doesn’t shave, he looks like he has Cheetos-dust on his face. Some men can’t grow shit and shouldn’t try.
@@temp_unknown if you have a neckbeard and you shave the neck then you have no beard...
I love how the hive just collectively gave this movie a pass😂 that scene where she drags the mistress will forever be legendary lol
“Sometimes blessings come in ways we don’t see coming”😭😭😭 YOU ARE SO FUNNY
Ali Larter made this movie interesting in my opinion. I have always loved her acting. For some reason she plays mentally unstable and distraught very well 🤔 Final Destination 1 and 2… Heroes…
She was great in Heroes!
Omg, I knew she looked familiar! I never realized she was in the first two Final Destinations 🤦🏽♀️😂
AGREED! She did well. I loved her as the stepmom in Legally Blonde too!
too bad she racist. I liked her until I heard about how nasty she was to her costar husband in heroes, she even tried to get him fired.
@@kimberleywilliams7802 same!
23:00 the building music and whispered words were incredible tysm
If Beyoncé was a good actress that would just be unfair 🤣
You right 🤷🏾♀️
…and God knew that and acted accordingly.
I remember my sister and I rented this from the library and kept watching the fight scene at the end, in different languages with English subtitles, so we could learn international fighting words🤣😹
This is hilarious 🤣
Big brain moment, lmao! 😂
I love this, lol!😂
Oh my gawd, ya'll are wild. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
I used to watch this movie on repeat as a kid, I was so scared of it but we had it on dvd and we ain’t have no cable 😓
I felt that
I remember watching the Lemomade film and chuckling occasionally because in between the singing, poetry and posing, there’s moments where Beyoncé has to act again and you get a little glimpse of this 2000s goodness.
It's the *2009* trigger warning for me 😭😂🤦🏾♀️
I actually thought the same as every one about the whole "Beyonce is just beyonce when she's acting" but then i thought "Its it that she can't get into character? Or is it that the idea, image, and persona of Beyonce is so ingrained in what we know of her that when she tries to break away we can't get that image out of our head. Bc tbh Beyonce character wasn't really all that compelling or interesting. She seemed like a regular degular wife and mother. Thats all we knew of the character, wasn't much personality. So really Beyonce didn't have much to work with to begin with. So thought "Maybe is not that her acting in the movie is bad, perhaps the character is just boring enough where all we see is the persona of Beyonce attached to an already pretty bland character."
Valid points!
There's so many good points about the social concepts this would bring up! We need to bring this movie back into the mainstream to talk!!!
I love that this is one of the very few movies where they don’t pretend men are completely incapable of turning down the sexual advances of an attractive woman.
Ooooh this upload is right on time Kennie. Okay, the fight scene at the end PURE COMEDY because Beyonce acting is so bad that it's good😂 oooh good movies and a glam suggestion THE BIRDCAGE, you'll love it. It's everything🥰🙌🏿
Yes that fight scene was hilarious!!!
@@packnetadaija She was making me mad too like girl don't let Ali get the best of you😂
Which Birdcage: the French original, La Cage aux Folles, or the American remake? No one talks about the original and both are worth it. And then there is the musical. This would make for a great More Butter production episode.
You want another bad Beyoncé movie? Try “Carmen: A Hip Hopera.” It’s a hip hop musical based on the opera, Carmen, obviously. I think Mekhi Phifer is also in it. I haven’t seen it since 2008, but I’d be willing to revisit it if Kennie will walk me through it!
The tarot card scene was pretty brilliant. Everything else felt like it was part of a different movie or even a sitcom until a scene/song pops up to make it obvious it’s a Carmen adaptation XD
All I remember is Beyoncé getting shot in the end.
I rewatched this movie recently on HBO. It reads like Lifetime movie. I also I did see this movie when it came in theaters when I was 8.
This movie was iconic for the beat down she gave that white girl. The only thing we all remember vividly from this movie. Don’t lie. You know you did.
Okay, movie review aside, this eye look on Kennie is STUNNING!!!😍So ethereal and floral, it’s giving me spring goddess and I’m here for it 💅🏽
"the patriarchy benefits no one" 😂 thank you for explaining that to me. I was also very confused by that
the face kennie makes when she smacks the gavel and screams 'objection' had me rolling @14:57
Beyoncé’s acting aside, I used to LOVE this movie as a kid. It was the one “adult” movie that my mom let me watch and I used to watch it over and over. Plus the plot and story was great
If you love a thriller that has lost it's mind then Hand that Rocks' the Cradle is amazing. It's from the nineties so there are some problematic elements. But it wears it's crazy on it's sleeve and I can't help but love it.
@5:03 Yea I watched the animated movie Epic and people forget she was in that movie for a smooth 5 minutes.
It's a good thing Beyonce is a talented performer and singer because her acting skills.......not everyone needs to be an actor.
Tbf she was much better in Dreamgirls
@@ross8093 I feel like musicals are her thing because she sings and because in musicals you can be over the top and campy , so she fits right in. She definitely should do more musicals if she decides to act some more.
@@yugen8195 I was also thinking that the character centred around being kinda more reserved and then being emotional in songs even more than other characters in the movie so it relaly suits her but tbh not the worst actress around I think shes just one who needs to be written for not placed in a role
Can I just say that... this glam? oh my god, I know why I love girls. Kennie is literally too pretty for this world
I can't help but have so much nostalgia attached to this movie! I believe I was a freshman & went with a group of friends to see it at the mall. The audience had a lot to say to Ali Larter's character throughout, but that final fight had everyone yelling & cheering on Beyoncé 😂 It was the best!
I feel like thats why we like a lot of bad movies and don't realize their bad b/c of the nostalgia
@@kikigam7113 lol 100%
I'm hoping Kennie will do a video or an episode of In Defense Of for Glitter because nobody can tell me it's a bad movie 👀 purely for nostalgia 😆 & Valarie Pettiford singing 🤩
I've known too many men who were turned away and laughed at by the police when they tried to make a report about being abused by their wife or girlfriend. Rough times
To be fair, she did okay as Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers Gold Member.
I *loved* her as Foxy Cleopatra. She really fit the character's energy.
That’s a campy movie and she was great
beyonce is one of those celebrities that have such a powerful image and persona that it's super hard for them to shake it off and immerse in a role. i mean greatness is hard to be concealed lol
Kennie, I am once again BEGGING for you to lend your expertise to skewering the movie Something New. It is a movie that bravely asks "isn't it time for black people to learn to love white people? Don't Black women know they don't need straight hair to be beautiful?". It has the best cast (Sanaa Latham, Taraji P Henson, Alfre Woodard) all acting their butts off, and yet is horrifyingly awful
This movie dares to question our deeply held stereotypes: We thought all rich Black women met their future husbands at debutante balls, but what if they didn't? We thought working class men weren't husband material, but what if this one is a college educated white man? We thought Donald Faison was already as obnoxious as possible in Clueless and Scrubs, but what if he could turn it up to 11?
Oh my gawd, my mama loves that movie! But I never watched it cause as soon as I saw the cover, I was like, "nope ✌🏾"
oh god I forgot about that movie 😂😂😂
I second this request!
Also I don't believe she would pick that man over BLAIR UNDERWOOD!!! Lol
Was so close to finishing the ultimatum vid 😭😭
I remember being really hyped for this movie when it first came out and coming to realize that it might've been solely due to its high publicity as a Beyonce film and not Literally Anything Else
This was just a bad movie for Beyonce. She does good in the movies where she sings. Oh pink panther and gold member were cute too.
Sidenote: I feel you on the facial hair thing. Keep the facial hair 😂
This is what we call a "get vex movie" cause soooooo much could have been avoided with some communication but noooooo sheesh
Watching this in theaters... was an experience as a child. I had to be like.. 14/15 in 2009. And hearing everyone cheer when Beyoncé was beatin her ass in a "black woman dialogue" was just... *chefs kiss*
“You touched my child??” made me laugh so hard lol
omg I saw this in theaters, and EVERYONE in the audience was yelling at the screen by the end. so good. i love this movie. eta: you brought up a good point about her acting and how its methodical. you're right, she's used to STAGE acting. she's "bad on film" maybe, but that's because her mindset is about stage movements where you have to be over the top so folks in the cheap seats can see you. that's why musical theater acting is so weird compared to film. i see now what her whole problem is lol
Now Kennie you know it would’ve been a different type of hell for a white woman to be found dead in his bed. At least if she’s alive they can SEE how delusional she was as opposed to blaming her death completely on him
Exactly! Obviously she had plot armor, but, if this was real life, she would have NEEDED to stay alive and make a complete recovery for his sake.
Beyoncé’s little “oh god😨” when the chandelier falls is my favorite part lol
Obsessed is proof that God is fair. He really said you can't have everything.
Happy 100th episode Kenny 😊💗
I remember watching this movie in the discount theatre, and the intro where they set up Idris Elba and Beyonce's life I was like, "ooh something is going to happen with that table". And I was right. And that is ALL I remember about that movie
*Chile, y'all remember when Beyonce did that MTV movie with Mekhi Phifer "Carmen: a Hip-Hopera"?* 😂🤣🤣
YES!!!!!
I ❤ Beyonce on stage, singing and dancing.
When Beyonce is just talking 😕
When Beyonce is "acting" 😣
This is my guilty pleasure film and I was with Bey all the way!!!
"As a negro in 2022" 🤣🤣🤣👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 I felt that in my soul. The casual racial slurs are taking me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀 I love you, Kennie! Great 100th episode 💕💕 You go, girl!
Ohoho~ I was waiting for this one. 😂😂 Such a guilty pleasure.
Not the back up vocals syncing up with the argument points! I love this so much
A bad movie that I unironically love is that one Beautiful Creatures movie that they made in 2013. It's based off the equally as bad books and I wasted an entire evening on it so why not love it, yk? It would be cool if you could do that one sometime
The guys country accent was awful
@@akatie888 I know right! At least in the books I could pretend that he didn't have an accent, but the movie smacks you with it full force lol
I remember reading those in middle school and they're still on my shelf but they were pretty bad lol. The first one was okay, but by the end, it was really dumb. The movie was just..not it lol
It's the ominous smiley face for me. 🙂 It just screams crazy when you really think about it. 'I'm fine' energy when we all know you ain't!
Am I the only one living for Kennie's Crazy White Girl monologue? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
HIGHLIGHT
26:04 why was that so good I thought that was really her for a second
I went to see this with my middle school friends so it’ll always have a place on my childhood. That being said I love B…. But yes some of these line deliveries are rough. But I would argue the kitchen fight was good and that red lace front wig she had was 🔥
an amazing makeup look! the eyeshadow is so soft and subtle. feels very modern. ty for the good content
LMFAO “Lisa Cosby” 🥴🤣🤣 You’re hilarious Ken this video reminded me why I subscribed, I already thought this movie was hilarious but you made it better!!
I almost SCREAMED 😭😭😭 when Kennie said “I’m not entitled to bbc”? Girl be a comedian 🥺 I need new specials to watch besides Fluffly & Dave Chapelle
Dave Chapelle is homophobic
Beyoncé telling Idris to go to the Four Seasons if hell is booked up is an underrated moment in US history that should be taught in schools. Don't agree? Argue with the wall.
Why you get so defensive at the end lmaooooooo
You're the only one to talk about the four seasons quote. With my pea brain, please explain this quote to me because I feel really stupid not being able to understand from back then when i watched it in theaters all the way to now years later as a young adult.
@@draacu Just a more creative way of telling him to leave the house, lol.
I'm wrecked that her latest video was taken down before I could watch it 😭
