Watched this thinking: Wow the premise sounds awful and offensive, perhaps it's amusingly bad as it's written, directed and stars one person.
So let's go through what we have in this film:
A painfully unfunny leading man who literally will not stop talking. It appears he wrote almost all the lines for himself.
The jokes and comedy are offensive, sometimes due to being trite and racist but primarily due to being painfully and I mean painfully unfunny. I believe the only remotely amusing lines are delivered by other characters (when they aren't busy praising the protagonist).
Maybe 4 sets intermixed with stock footage.
Preachy, dumb advice that also soapboxes in an extremely unpleasant manner.
Irritating attempts to justify the premise of the film within the film. Like pre-empting criticism about the premise.
To sum it up I'll quote the film:
"This is not a crime, this is theater."
That is wrong. This film should be a crime and is not theater.

Making this film in this era is just about the worst idea a comedian could've come up with- I don't understand how this was released, let alone funded. This is the most nauseating vanity project I've ever watched; a comedian, in his self-professed infinite charm, wit and wisdom gets on his soapbox to school the rest of us about The Issues™
The twist? He's vocally masquerading as Sassy Black Lady™ (basically an inarguably offensive modern day equivalent to minstrel shows and blackface) because according to him, minorities and women are completely phasing white men out of the entertainment industry, or more specifically, radio. (as if talk-radio isn't already dominated by male conservatives- something they always seem to conveniently ignore in this discussion). But at the end of the day, It's also just writer-director-editor lead Jeremy Saville lampshading ("hey, as long as I address that the premise is totally racist at some point, I'll move on and it'll be forgiven, right?") it's completely awful- I mean, at one point, bartender Joe (Saville) claims to be a better black woman than a real one. I get that this in jest, but seriously?
It's almost kind of fascinating. On one hand, there's *maybe* a shred of Saville having innocent (yet very very misguided) intentions in making this, but on the other, it's such a clear vanity project about the guy playing himself so he can have a platform to vent about society's problems (or more specifically, the problems that comedians have run into in this modern "PC culture"). With all the lampshading Saville does, it's hard to not see him guilty of the racism he's supposedly denouncing.
Beyond all this, if you weren't offput by its reprehensible premise, the film is technically dull, has very poor production value, and there's absolutely no style or flavor to how it's filmed, acted, shot or edited. It's no doubt, an amateurish production through and through. As a whole, it's just flat-out embarrassing and shameful.

So I checked out the comedy Loqueesha. The film is about a bartender who is good at giving advise and needs money to send his son to a private school. He gets a job as a talk radio host but he does it in a voice of a black woman named Loqueesha and things go from there.
It struck some controversy last year as being racist and insensitive. Many could not believe the film was made and many took it as offensive and intolerant. And if a film strike that kind of controversy then I need to see it. The film has a whopping 1.2 on IMDB.
So is it as bad as everyone says? I say yes and not because of the film being racist or intolerant. Simply I did not find anything at all funny. Not a joke or gag works at all. Its just a total mess of incompetent film making. Also it caries some awful green screen effects and pretty bad adr voice over work. Also the film comes of a pretentious and smug like as if the director/star of the film was trying to say something deep with this film. Talk about a vanity project. Its a complete mess, its boring and most of all unfunny. It has my vote for worst movie of 2019 and one of the worst comedies I have ever seen.

As if the cheap production, uninspired cinematography and bad acting weren't enough; Jeremy Saville had to use his vanity project for a poisonous message. I can only imagine that the motivation for this project was that Saville was tired of losing arguments with strangers in bars whenever he voiced his deluded opinion that white men face more discrimination than anyone else in the modern world. There is a moment in this film where Saville wrote lines for an African woman that had her character admit that he was better at being black.
Do not see this sad movie. Let it be forgotten along with anyone that allowed it to come to light.

I think I may have found the worst movie in recent history. Its Loqueesha. This movie is truly bad in every possible way. Its not the enjoyable "over the top/what am i even watching?" bad, like The Room. It's not the obviously low budget, "visible nylon strings attached to to jaws of a giant rubber spider" bad, like an Ed Wood film. And it definitely is not the "shock-camp, wink-wink, we're all in on the joke" bad like Sharknado or any of the intentionally hilariously bad offerings by The Asylum. It is just straight up bad. It is badly written and equally badly acted. The production is horrible, with cheap camera work, terrible editing and nonsensical green screen effects. The story and message are outdated, offensive, and misguided. Worst of all... it's supposed to be a comedy, but there are no funny scenes. It actually seems to be trying to send some sort of moralizing message, but does the exact opposite. Its hard to imagine this could have ever been released in this day and age. You can get a little taste from the trailer, but you can't really appreciate the full Badness unless you invest the whole 98 minutes. That's a big ask and extra challenging because it doesn't even really lend itself to be a drinking game, but perhaps one could find some already wasted friends and make it a simple stamina contest (like holding your breath or not blinking) to see who can last the longest without giving up. It's just that bad.

Wow, sorry there was no negative number to rate. How was this movie funded? One of the worst writers ever , I feel bad for the cast having to b n this train wreck
Where do I even start let's start with the name of the whole movie it's like he took a hat and put all of the basic "ghetto" "stereotype" black girl names mixed it up and picked one. He directed wrote and stared in the movie, throughout the whole movie he was never forced to act like a black female it was all his own choice and the notion that he would have gotten the job if he was black? was he trying to make the audience sympathize with him, was he trying to make the white man victim, that was a choice and a very bad one. That might be the only funny line in the whole movie but it's not funny for the reasons he wanted them to be funny it's funny because it's stupid. Throughout the whole movie no one seems to have a problem with it at all and at the end he tries to wrap it all up like oh I have morals I'm a good person so what I did wasn't bad and then on top of everything else his actions had zero consequence whatsoever nobody was mad at all which is completely false if you would've done that in this day and age your life would have been over completely. In the first like two minutes of the whole movie it starts off with some bullshit ass moral lesson about being yourself, then some angry black girl walks in complains about it man and then he tells her to shut up something along the lines of that. The next day she comes back with flowers and a job like that ever happens, on a small slip of paper that only has three lines on it and one of the lines is Minority and black females are welcome to apply. Just Forget that one line just read the other ones like WHAT. Then he ropes another black guy to help him which would never happen in real life because they would slap you. If he wanted to make a comedy about a black Radio host why didn't he just hired a black woman why pretend to be black I can't understand why . This reminds me what they used to do back in the old days where Black people can't have rolls in TV shows or movies so they would use black face to portray black people I'm pretty sure people see the problem with this because it has one star rating how worse can you do that you wasted your time you wasted your credibility as a filmmaker and as a writer and as a actor because the acting in this whole movie was horrendous what ever chance you had in becoming a filmmaker after this film just went to the shitter because you decide to make a racist movie full of microagression towords trans and gay people and a big aggression towards black people and you thought It was a good idea you thought it was gonna be funny even though the whole movie was completely un funny and your black voice was not even that good if I could give this zero I definitely would. it's not racist in the sense that saying no I hate black people it's racist in a sense that you're making fun of my people. Why did you have to put on a voice act like a black woman thinking that it was funny thinking that it was entertaining, is was entertaining it was funny but not for the reasons you wanted it to be funny, it was funny because who in the hell would make this, I was funny because I was laughing at the creator and not the content. That was a choice.

I hope the man that wrote this gets therapy or prison either or. I hope that his parents are deeply ashamed of this movie because I would be.

I watched this movie and came to find all these negative comments. I can bet these critics haven't watched this movie. It's excellent in its own right. It got a story and substance and very daring.

I'm not a paid reviewer. This movie is actually funny! The majority of the people who gave it thumbs -down probably didn't even watch it. Give it a chance.

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The production quality was excellent and the movie didn't fail to keep me entertained every single second. The movie was absolutely hilarious and all the other movie makers must take notes from this movie as it has close to no imperfections.
Absolutely Brilliant!!!
