I’m starting to feel bad for Tiffany Haddish. Oh sure, 2019
proved to be a quite fruitful year for her on the voice-acting front, between
The Lego Movie 2 and The Angry Birds Movie 2, but on the live-action front, the
side of her that got pushed into the mainstream with Girls Trip? Not so much.
Night School was ghastly, her teaming-up with Tyler freaking Perry on Nobody’s
Fool couldn’t have possibly sounded like a good idea, and while she managed to
pull through okay with The Kitchen, that was largely in spite of everything
around her, not because of it. Her current presence as a comedic actress seems
to be codified by her being a potential saving throw for a film that needs
outside assistance, rather than actually giving her material to work with. And
with her latest, it seems like we’ve reached the bottom of the barrel.
