Instead, much like “Young Frankenstein,” they allow this unique cast (which include Mykelti Williams, and Salli Richardson) to play every bit of idiotic dialogue and stereotype with a straight face and give them room to extend their talents.
In the tradition of Young Frankenstein , in order for Black Dynamite to goof on its targets, it must become them -- at least in appearances, before descending (or, in some scenes, ascending) to all-out absurdity.
That they’ve succeeded is commendable, there are only a few self-aware nods that distract us, but the result is like watching one of Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg rightly vilified movies such as Epic Movie, Date Movie , or Meet The Spartans, but without as many scenes of characters being kicked in the balls.
Bishop is empathetic to her plight; after all, he was once an orphan himself, and during that entire conversation you might start to wonder if screenwriters Philip Shelby and Tony Mosher are admirers of Black Dynamite.
