“Coffee And Kareem” (*1/2 out of four) was a crude and contrived Netflix comedy about a bumbling cop (Ed Helms) dating a woman (Taraji Henson) and agrees to pick up her son (Terrence Little Gardenhigh) from school but through circumstances too painful to describe- wind up on the run from drug dealers and corupt cops. Some sharp and funny dialogue at the beginning is eventually completely drowned out by Gardenhigh’s obnoxious and stupid character and dumb plot developments. A particularly egregious waste of Henson who spends most of the movie unconscious. Didn’t anybody here learn their lesson from “Cop And A Half”?
