This time, he’s offering 84 minutes of a child speaking like a foul-mouthed adult in “Coffee & Kareem.”
Set in the rough neighborhood of suburban Detroit, the film follows a 12-year-old boy named Kareem, played by Terrence Little Gardenhigh , who discovers his mother, played by Taraji P. Henson, is sleeping with police officer James Coffee, played by Ed Helms.
The dialogue of this film would have been bad for two 40-year-old actors reciting the lines, but Hollywood has had a recent spate of kids in the role of raunchy adult characters.
“Coffee & Kareem” is an horrid experience, especially knowing his lines are by a writer whose other credit is a short film called “The Guy Who’s ******* Your Girlfriend.”
See or Skip: “Coffee & Kareem” is not only a bad film, but could kill your sense of humor for 10-14 days.
