OCCUPY CHINA
nogodnomasters7 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Lonnie (Denyce Lawton) goes on a corporate retreat, one that Momma (Jackée Harry) approves because all the men have jobs. Bobby V plays her two timing boyfriend who uses her. Lonnie is joined by her co-workers in the HR department, China (Kanisha Buss) a heavy set woman with a tattoo on her left chest. She can't stop talking and thinks her boss Dan (who seems normal) is a sexual harasser. Also on the trip is the lovely Camilla (Veronica Rodriguez) who gets under utilized as they couldn't write a real part for her.

The "comedy" is geared toward African-American women and I didn't find it amusing and I don't think they will either.

One "funny" line was when they were looking at a Pez in a store. China says, "Look it is a Camilla doll. All you have to do is wave your finger in front of it, it opens wide and you can get a piece." Or at another time when China looks around the room and sees 20 men, "Somebody is going to occupy China, tonight." This is the type of low brow humor that was rampant in the film.

The acting was as lame as the dialouge. Later, there are far too many serious conversations. It turns from a bad comedy into a bad drama. The film had some low budget plot points. The company get together says it is 4 women and 20 men, however when they show the entire group, it is seven people. What company has 4 HR people for 20 employees and wouldn't they all know each other already?

Near f-bomb, extensive sex talk including vibrator, no sex or nudity.

It was cool but
ticeshia15 April 2020
The lightskin one that used to be on All Def Digutal is annoying. Her character was annoying. As a matter of fact, she act the same in everything I have seen her in, which from watching ADD is just her personality which sucks. She laughed at someone getting stung by a bee. Everyone else was cool

worst movie I've ever seen
christinafortefl12 May 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The production quality was comparable to that of a high school project. The sound quality was equally bad, if you like listening to sprinklers, fountains and wind then this movie is for you. Aside from that, the acting was horrible, the script was terrible and the plot was totally cliché and predictable. They also clearly did not have any consultants and did no research because one of the characters had an "allergic reaction" that was not correct at all. I'm not allergic to shellfish but I know that having a reaction does not include pooping your pants. Watching this trash wasted an hour of my life that I can never get back. Save yourself time and money and do something else. This low budget film ( and I use the word "film" loosely) is completely stupid.

China made this unwatchable

Horrible overacting by the heavyset light skin woman. A distraction to an already bad movie. Very cheesy characters and jokes... terrible.

Movie with ton of laughs
soccitmypocket15 March 2012
This movie was quite a pleasant surprise. I had no idea of what to expect, other than knowing Ray J. and Bobby V. were in it. I laughed my ass off! This movie could've easily been released in theaters. Tommy Ford's character was a trip, but he played the part well. Bobby V. was credible in his role, and Ray J. flashed some real acting chops that hopefully will lead to more prominent roles.

Denyce Lawton is a lovely woman and great as Lonnie. Veronica Rodriguez is very beautiful and does well in her limited role. The real gem of the movie is Kanisha Buss as China. She steals almost every scene she is in with her comedy. I look forward to seeing her in a lot more films.

Very funny movie.
