Review
In all honesty, the first person that drew me to this movie was Taraji Henson. When I saw her, I didn’t even bother to check the trailer, I just went straight into the movie. Apparently, the storyline of this movie isn’t new. It is still the same story of a single mom/dad trying to get into a new relationship and is hoping that his/her child likes the new partner. That was just it. I mean that was what the story was supposed to be about until

Kareem ‘s plan backfires. His plans led himself and Coffee into the abode of criminals. Kareem went from trying to get rid of Coffee to trying to escape death. The table turned. 😂 The situation Kareem and Coffee found themselves made them create this step father and step son bond that Coffee was hoping to have all along. The situation was intense and dangerous but i feel that was the best incident capable of bringing the strong headed Kareem closer to the single, still living with his mother type of cop that Coffee is.

This movie is entertaining and so hilarious. The story line showed the flaws of both characters and it didn’t potray them as being perfect. Even during the intense battle between Coffee, Kareem and the dirty cops, the characters were still able to make jokes that delivered. My favourite scene was where the thugs went to Kareem’s house to get him and his mother,on getting to the door, one of the thugs rang the doorbell and the other said to him, “Why would you ring the doorbell like we’re delivering Amazon packages? I was like 😂😂😂 I didn’t even see that coming. The acting in this movie was so good but one thing I didnt like about this movie was the fact that Kareem’s attitude gave us a perfect example of the poor quality of parenting that his mother, Taraji gave him. He was so rude to his mum and Coffee, he doesn’t even respect her. There was a scene he told her that they were in danger and they had to leave the house, Taraji was confused and was asking for explanations,although he tried explaining to her but she still didn’t get it. So he took a taser and tased her, I was like Wow. Another thing I didnt like about Kareem was his excessive use of foul languages. It was just too much for a 12 year old. Too many use of unnecessary profanity and foul acts. At some points, it became unbearable.

Aside that, Coffee and Kareem is an interesting movie to watch but if you don’t like profanity, then this movie isn’t for you.
