Major Payne (1995)

One of my all time favorites.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A film you can watch over and over and still love it

Damon Wayans at his best. No it is not a Dark twisted black comedy. It is light hearted and very very very funny. I have watched it repeatedly and also pulled up the best parts on youtube all the time. If it's not the funniest movie ever you will at least have a lot of good lines to use the rest of your life. Karyn Parson and the rest of the cast are great. Know wonder everyone writes a novel out here. I forget you have to at least write 10 lines. Really. Do they want you to tell half of the story. It is very very funny. You will not be disappointed. I guess I will have to keep writing for this line and one more so I can have this review posted.

Damon Wayans is incredible in this role. The best performance he has ever done. He totally sells out in the role. Tons of quotable lines. Tons of laugh-out-loud moments. A comedy that is as good the second time around as it is the first.Definitely not a comedy for everyone as I have been told. I will say that if you grew up in my household or was with me in boot, you will have no option but to crack up at the expertly written parody. If you grew up in a nurturing home, this movie may just come off as mean and unrealistic. There may certainly be more to the split in likes and dislikes than this factor, as Wayans and this type of humor probably won't appeal to everyone, but I think that may certainly be a factor.

I really liked this on the first viewing and felt the opposite the next time I watched. Funny how these things happen. I guess the first time I didn't mind the crudeness, kids' swearing and predictable ending. I guess I didn't feel that this would be poor examples for other kids to see. Well, I was wrong.Nonetheless, to point out the good parts, Damon Wayans was funny as "Major Payne," dishing out some genuinely funny insult lines to the kids. The strange way he talks was pretty humorous, too. While the language is crude at times, there are no f-words or Lord's name in vain. Karyn Parsons is a new face and name and is a pretty woman, although her character was annoying at times. She looks and sounds a lot like Jada Pinkett.This is a fun movie...but I don't recommend it for kids.
