Before Marlon Wayans was hiring his brothers to be in his movies, they hired him to be I’m Gonna Git You Sucka. He looks the same now as he did when he was 15 in that 1988 movie?
Marlon Wayans has made some funny parody takes of a few big feature films, like Scream and Save the Last Dance. And since they are mocking the original, he has gotten himself into some interesting positions, literally.
So when the comedian went to Netflix and saw himself in one of the pictures to promote Fifty Shades of Black, he pondered, “What’s wrong with me?!”
We wish we knew. We really wish we knew! Although, we wouldn’t change a thing.
Marlon Wayans plays all of the siblings (5 brothers and one sister) in Sextuplets and only two of them look alike. Therefore, he had to spend hours and hours in the makeup chair to give them all their own look.
HipHollywood got their hands on his transformation from skinny Marlon to overweight, balding Russell. As they start to put the prosthetics on his face, you can still recognize him. However, when they are done, he is completely unrecognizable. If you did not see the transformation for yourself, you would never believe it. I saw it, and I still don’t believe it.
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.
