Coffee & Kareem Review: Ed Helms' Crass Netflix Comedy Won't Be Everyone's Cup of Tea

Comedian Hannah Gadsby, who went viral after her first Netflix special made waves for it’s poignancy and comedy, has another comedy special coming to the streaming service!

Chris Hemsworth is taking over Netflix this month. OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but he does have a new action movie coming to the streaming service on Friday, April 24, and it looks like a doozy. Extraction, directed by Sam Hargrave, stars Hemsworth as a black market mercenary who's hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an international crime boss.

It's back on screens on April 24

No Time To Die's release has been postponed to November owing to the Coronavirus pandemic. The James Bond film is to see Daniel Craig play the 007 agent for one last time in April. With the change in release date, it gives director Cary Fukunaga ample time to polish the film and make necessary changes to the movie. However, the filmmaker recently confirmed Bond 25 is officially complete and he wouldn't be revisiting the post-production table to make any kind of changes. 

Coffee and Kareem review: It’s safe to say that I approached the new Netflix original Coffee & Kareem with extreme caution. The movie came across as another generic kid and cop buddy movie in its promotional material, but there’s much more to this entertaining and often hilarious streaming original, including a brilliant performance from its young star Terrence Little Gardenhigh, GLOW star Betty Gilpin, the extremely talented Taraji P. Henson, and the always reliable Ed Helms.

A foul-mouthed kid and a cop make a perfect movie duo.

A tone-deaf attempt to recreate the nasty comic vibe people associate with certain '80s buddy cop films, Michael Dowse's Coffee & Kareem names a key character for director Walter Hill, just to make sure we know what it's going for. Then it tweaks the Eddie Murphy-era format by pairing a white cop with a distractingly foul-mouthed black 12-year old.

Your enjoyment of the new Netflix comedy “ Coffee & Kareem ” may depend on whether or not you find insanely vulgar middle schoolers funny. It’s not just cursing either. Oh no, this is a whole symphony of vulgarity that would make Seth Rogen blush.

Sure, the premise is puerile, but the humor is decidedly inappropriate for young viewers in this Netflix action comedy pairing Ed Helms with a 12-year-old.
