“gutter-mouthed… unfunny… poor production values…”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Beverly Hills is about to get real dangerous… The Black family is getting out of Chicago in hopes of a better life. After Carl Black (Mike Epps) comes into some unexpected funds, he takes his family and leaves the hustling lifestyle behind for something better. Carl, his new wife Lorena (Zulay Henao), son Carl Jr., daughter Allie Black (Bresha Webb) and cousin Cronut (Lil Duval) pack up and move to Beverly Hills.
Turns out, Carl couldn’t have picked a worse time to move. They arrive right around the time of the annual purge, when all crime is legal for twelve hours.”

Language everywhere. I kid you not. I don’t mind profanity at all. In fact, it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. But I found myself wishing that they’d just stop cursing, even for 30 seconds, and give me a break from the never-ending torrent of F-bombs and N-words.
Crude sexual humor, one character lusts over another character and it quickly becomes a stupid running gag through the entire movie. No nudity or sexual content. Quite a bit of drug content (Weed in bags in a safe, which is later smoked during the Purge).
They stuck to the original Purge storyline fairly well, which pleased me, but, overall, I left disappointed. My thoughts? You don’t need to see this. It’s humorous, it’s fun to watch, but it’s so blatantly in-your-face offensive that it’s just not worth the 1½ hours to watch it. Do yourself a favor, save the time and money and watch something else.
My Ratings: Moral rating: Extremely Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 3
