Naked (2017)

Marlon Wayans stars but also co-wrote this D-grade Groundhog Day rehash about a man who wakes up on his wedding day naked in an elevator over and over again and like the array of characters he encounters as he tries to reach his wedding ceremony - policemen, gangsters who randomly make him eat coins, his bride's ex and her disapproving father - you'll also wish you could see much less of him.

Dance Flick (2009)

Like the Scary Movies before it, this comedy suggests that among the unfunny things the Wayans brothers find funny are king hits, glassings, violence against women, schoolyard bullying of homosexuals, sexual innuendo, suicide, and Chris Elliott.

Scary Movie 2 (2001)

The especially sober moments in this laugh-free horror movie spoof are any of the scenes featuring Chris Evans as the repulsive-looking manservant of a haunted house, and the scenes in which the homosexuality of Shawn Wayans' character is repeatedly offered up sans comedic effort because apparently this is a hilarious thing in itself.

Little Man (2006)

Like Tootsie, Mrs Doubtfire, Big Mamma, White Chicks, and the Jump Street movies, this is a "disguised interloper" comedy, one with the momentarily amusing premise of an ex-jailbird posing as a child in a family home, but an inert plot, pantomime performances, questionable sex jokes, and odd effects that for ninety minutes see Marlon Wayan's face hovering disconcertingly over an infant's body of wildly inconsistent size, mean the movie is intolerable.
