Very fun and entertaining. But why did they need to wear blackface? Not cool man. Minus half a star

Unbelievable charming
Grandma rating 4/5
Note*- I keep seeing comments and posts about blackface in this movie? I just watched it all the way through and even went back in the movie where this was supposed to have happened and nothing of the sort was there. The version that I watched was on Amazon prime and its runtime is 3 minutes shorter than what is listed on Letterboxd, so I guess I watched an edited version 🤷♂️
Note 2- I’m genuinely looking everywhere for where this may be with no avail
