The Guardian
Meet the Blacks is an asinine film (though with a kernel of seriousness) but whenever it feels like it is running out of steam, something strange and surreal will happen to elevate it above a typical spoof movie. - 33
The A.V. Club
It’s more like an extremely confusing and sloppily written chunk of Purge fan-fiction—a tortured use of another movie’s absurd mythology to help make muddled quasi-satirical points, while indulging the apparently fail-safe punchline of saying the word “purge” about once a minute. - 25
RogerEbert.com
Even by the standards of raunchy, comic spoofs, director and co-writer Deon Taylor’s film feels especially scattered. - 10
The Hollywood Reporter
A wrongheaded, utterly incompetent, and nearly laugh-free satire.
