Marlon Wayans has eight brothers and sisters in real life. However, he didn’t use any them in his new movie to play any of the Sextuplets. Instead, he played all six roles in the Netflix feature that is streaming now. A movie so funny, you will be laughing so hard you will be playing sextuple.
Alan (Marlon Wayans) and his wife, Marie (Bresha Webb) are expecting their first child together. While she has a huge family to support her, he does not have anyone. He grew up in foster care, so he does not know anything about where he came from. Now, that he is going to be a dad, he will do anything to find out who his biological family is.
He receives an article that tells him that his mother had sextuplets and he is one of them. He also gets the contact information for his blood relatives. With that in hand, he is off to meet his mom, the four brothers and sister he never knew he had. Which is easier said than done because they are all over the place.
Now he is on the road and his first stop is to meet his mother. Instead, his brother, Russell (Marlon Wayans) opens the door. Russell is a balding, 300 lbs. shut in that has lived with their mother until recently when she died. Even though they suffered a loss, they have gained each other.
Since they have been reunited and connected with each other, it is time for them to meet the rest of their siblings. It will not go smoothly because they run into several bumps in the road. The next sibling on the list is their sister Dawn (Marlon Wayans). She is in prison and he is going to bail her out. Once she is free, she joins them on their journey to meet their other three siblings.
After running into some more trouble, they finally get to Baby Pete (Marlon Wayans), who is in the hospital. He is going to die unless he gets a kidney transplant. Thankfully, his brother Alan, who he never knew about, stopped by to see him. That means he will finally get the kidney he desperately needs.
The four of them together is short-lived. Alan is left alone and his fourth brother, Jaspar (Marlon Wayans) has an interesting way of introducing himself. He is not as excited as his brother to finally meet a relative.
Alan’s family trip comes to an abrupt end when his wife tells him she is in labor. He rushes to be by her side and he meets his sixth brother, Ethan (Marlon Wayans), who can be his twin. I guess technically he is. While they might look alike, their personalities are polar opposites.
Alan went from having no siblings to having five of them. Does he want them? You have to watch this high-larious movie to find out.
Marlon Wayans is Eddie Murphy in his prime good in this comedy. Each sibling looks and acts so different, it is almost hard to believe that the same person plays them all. I spent most of the time looking at Russell and Dawn trying to see if I could see Marlon under all of that makeup. I could not. That is how good of a job he and the makeup department did with all of the characters. That is reason enough to stream this flick.
However, the biggest reason to watch is that it will give you a much-needed laugh. After a long week who doesn’t want to Netflix and Chill with a good movie? This is that good movie that will chill you out. Yeah, I don’t know what that means either. However, I am not the comedian, Marlon Wayans is and he is hysterical in Sextuplets. Get your laughter on and watch the movie now.
Marlon Wayans has a new movie coming out on Netflix called Sextuplets where he plays all sextuplets. In order to promote the film, they asked him to try seven different viral challenges that we have all tried.
They has him do the Bottlecap challenge, Ice Cream challenge, Cheesed Challenge, Bottle Flip challenge, Tide Pod challenge, Cinnamon challenge, and finally the Mannequin challenge. How did he do? If this was a test, he would fail. Even though he would get a failing grade, he would get an A++ in making us laugh. Just like his latest film that starts streaming on Friday.
We all need to laugh and he is doing it with this and his movies.
Last year, ABC cancelled Designated Survivor and then Netflix picked it up for a third season in September. Today, they announced that they too are cancelling the show. Even though we will not get any more new episodes, the old ones will continue to stream for years to come.
Netflix said this about the cancellation, “We’re especially thankful to star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland, who brought passion, dedication and an unforgettable performance as President Kirkman. We’re also grateful to showrunner/executive producer Neal Bear for his guiding vision and steady hand, creator/executive producer David Guggenheim and EPs Mark Gordon, Suzan Bymel, Simon Kinberg, Aditya Sood and Peter Noah along with the cast and crew who crafted a compelling and satisfying final season.”
However, the news is not really a surprise. Kiefer Sutherland is busy with his musical career, Kal Penn has a new show on NBC and Italia Ricci is expecting her first child.
Last year, I was OK with the show getting the ax, but this season I am going to miss it. It was as thrilling as the first half of season one when the show was really enjoyable. At least we got one more season.
You know if Netflix keeps cancelling the shows I watch, I might have to cancel them.

I will admit, I am one of the few people who has not seen Stranger Things season 3 yet. I am still stuck on season 2. However, I have heard about the NeverEnding Story scene. Since I have been a neverending fan of Limahl’s, I have been curious about that scene.
Then last night late night competitors Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert went from their shared love of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to ’80s soundtrack songs that are bigger than the movies they are from. In other words, they did that scene from the Netflix show, so now I get what all the fuss is about.
Even though The Tonight Show and The Late Show go head-to-head, the two hosts are in perfect harmony when they sing.
Now back to Limahl, personally, NeverEnding Story is not one of my favorite songs of his. I prefer everything off of his album Colour All My Days and from Kajagoogoo over it. Which means you need to discover his tunes. He is becoming a huge hit again on Spotify, so start there.
Now, if you are like me and have not seen the scene that started all of this, then click here!
Jimmy Fallon invited the cast of Stranger Things to go to Madame Tussauds in NYC. Not to look at the wax figures of other famous people. Instead, he wanted them to pretend to be wax versions of their characters and scare unsuspecting fans. Oh, and since The Tonight Show host cannot be left out, he filled in for Barb. Poor Barb.
Also, poor tourists who got the shock of their lives when the Netflix kids came to life. None of them suspected that the actors were actually living and not the life-size candle versions of themselves. Funny how scared they got.
You know I just realized I never watched the second season of this show. I better watch it now because season three is coming up on July 4th
