There is already a movie that's LITERALLY EXACTLY LIKE THIS..... Except it's from the perspective of a conservative black cop who lives in Southern California.... And his disdain for a younger mixed couple that move in the neighborhood. Its called LAKEVIEW TERRACE... With actual great and talented actors in it... And I THINKS ITS A GREAT MOVIE...as Samuel Jackson does a phenomenal job playing the COP. And the one white dude whos in all the conjuring movies does an even greater job playing a 40-something liberal white guy who's unaware of his subtle racism at times just due to his innate white privilege he was unconsciously born into. I mean they almost steal the movie scene by scene.. as he sees them moving in and is upset at the mere fact they're a mixed couple...and does the passive aggressive introduction and then EVEN catches the guy smoking (a cigarette) in his car while listening to 90s hip-hop.. down to them getting intimate in their pool and Samuel Jackson being able to see... And instead of a CAMERA he installs a light .. then they (the couple) install a light to counter Samuel Jacksons.. i mean honestly A DIRECT LIFT from the movie.....except this is a b movie from a, b cable channel... For people who actually enjoy B CONTENT. The director/ author of the screenplay ALREADY KNOWS that theyre plagiarizing Lakeview Terrace ...and the channel is funding it...so i think they were conscious of the mid level of fhe filmmaking they were doing when this was in production. I never knew this movie existed until tonight and i see the reviews but CMON... Im almost positive NO ONE INCLUDING the people responsible for making the movie... Actually took this movie seriously. So id personally take it with a HUUGE grain of SALT. 🧂

@@tyem4810 If you kept up to date with the promotion of the movie in general it very much was a "Black Vs White" mentality where the character of Karen was playing the role of "every white person ever", because we all know the stereotype of a white person is "They raycist". A lot of the promotion for the movie was very much that mentality of "The stereotypical white person is racist. We're just going to call her Karen to cover our tracks." A Karen is an entitled person that asks for the manager when they don't get their way. A Karen is a Karen regardless of skin colour. This woman isn't a "Karen" by the slang term, she's just a racist named Karen. You've also got the "all southern people are racist" stereotype with the fact that they're in the south. It's a stereotype, not reality. People regardless of where they live, for whatever reason, can be racist. Where a person lives does not dictate whether or not they are racist. I have met and seen PLENTY of racists of all skin tones in NYC and California. Where a person lives does not dictate whether or not they're an asshole. If you want to stop racism, you can't continue to perpetuate it and continue the cycle. We need to stop the stereotypes of many kinds. While I'll agree that being blind to racism isn't the answer, going out of our way to be racist because we're angry at the ACTUAL problem isn't the answer either.

One of the many things that irritate me about this movie is that the racism is not your average Joe "Oh, sorry about my grandma" kind of racism. This is sociopathic, fantastical racism that only occurs in cinema. I have no doubt there are people who enjoy causing problems for the black community, but it's, like, Karen is ALL of those people at once.

the movie sucked but the peeping tom scene made sense. The movie was telling us that she was crazy and in the wrong for blaming them. The whole point of that scene was that it was Karen and her son that were being creepy and intrusive, yet Karen was so racist that she blames the couple for "traumatizing" her kid even though the couple were the victims in that situation.

BUT in reality, this movie flopped and fell so hard. I agree with Kendall that all of the characters seem off as if they were caricatures and not actual real people. I'm actually glad that Kendall did a video about this movie because she does more justice to the topic of racism than this movie ever did.

Well let's not pretend at all. Taryn Manning _is_ an actress and has been for over 20 years, she's been in quite a lot of movies and TV shows and she's done other stuff too. (...also a producer for 'Karen'...) That being said, yeah I don't get how no conversation would be had while filming this kind of movie either. The director either couldn't care less as long as it got done so he could milk the money out of the theme, or maybe he knew she wouldn't listen, or maybe, who knows, people might have been afraid of her reactions? Because apparently, on top of her... beliefs, from what I read on Wikipedia, she apparently got arrested for assaulting her assistant, then arrested for violating a restraining order and making criminal threats against girlfriend, accused of attacking another girlfriend and there's more legal and personal mess.
