Sextuplets arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Sextuplets gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Father-to-be Alan is shocked to learn that he was born a sextuplet. With his newfound brother Russell riding shotgun, the duo sets out on a hilarious journey to reunite with their remaining long-lost siblings. Marlon Wayans and Bresha Webb lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2019. Sextuplets earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Sextuplets. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Marlon Wayans is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
