"Coming to America. It kind of gave me the same feeling of pride and just feeling good about myself that Black Panther did, seeing this sort of regal, black royalty, excellence. Now, they had to hide it and disguise that in comedy which is so often in our culture and in the movie business for a long time. But there were so many lines that you can just quote and appearances from actors you didn’t even realize that were in it, like Cuba Gooding, Jr. to Jake Steinfeld. “The Queen to Be,” you know, there are so many lines. And the characters that Eddie Murphy played… They were caricatures, I guess, but it seemed like the performances were layered, actually. It was very much a comedy, but it wasn’t over the top. If they ever remade it, I would be opposed to it. That’s one of those movies that you have to leave alone."

Jack Black 'comedy' (and I use that term in the loosest possible sense) that sees his caveman character - along with his friend Oh, played by Michael Vera - leave (or, rather, be banished from) his society and embark on a journey across biblical lands, encountering all sorts of (early) Biblical characters and ending this part of his journey - and the final acts - in the city of Sodom.

Not the greatest, with very few - if any - laughs.
