Which movie is being talked about in '#BlackAF' episode 5? Here are some guesses from fans

The #BlackAF episode 5 brought forward a large number of responses and questions from the audience. Throughout the entire episode, Kenya Barris, the protagonist, is disturbed at the fact that he has to endorse a bad black movie. Kenya tries to ask everyone around him about the movie, but unfortunately, they also believed that the movie is not bad. This frustrated him as he could not believe how people are not ready to assume that a black movie can turn out to be a bad one. He makes his white writers admit that they have to lie about it as it is not their place to critique 'Black art'. 

The whole message given throughout the #BlackAF episode 5 is that people do not have to be scared to critique 'black' art. Everything they make does not have to be 'outstanding' and that they must be allowed to be mediocre as well. The whole episode does not mention any name when it comes to which movie it was, and fans started guessing about the same. Here are top guesses that were made by fans about what movie were they referring to.
