YMMV / Loqueesha

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: Although Saville claims he only made up the name Loqueesha, a very similarly-named character had already existed in radio from the mid-2000s to as late as 2017, the difference being that the other Loqueesha—spelled Loquecia, derived from the word "loquacious"—reviewed Reality TV shows for a show segment (as heard here) as opposed to having her own late-night talk show. To add to this, her persona was created and voiced by impressionist Ralph Garman (Kevin In The Morning), also a white man.
• Broken Aesop: The movie hammers home the message of being yourself via Joe's mantra of "I gotta be me", while indulging in the premise of a white man pretending to be a black woman, which he's able to continue when the listeners vote for him to stay on air as both Joe and Loqueesha.
• Audience-Alienating Premise: A male white radio host pretending to be a sassy black woman may have been acceptable a few decades ago, but it certainly isn't acceptable in 2019. The fact that Jeremy Saville also created the equally-reviled The Test (2012) doesn't help matters.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: Pretty much the only reason anyone knows this exists is because it was condemned for its use of Modern Minstrelsy.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Rachel is suddenly demoted to the Satellite Love Interest, despite the fact that she was the one who advised him to take the job as a radio show host, and that Joe ended up channeling the persona of a Sassy Black Woman. One would think she could've been part of the entire ruse along with Mason, but instead, she only gets momentarily pissed off at Joe's Modern Minstrelsy when the truth comes out before falling into his arms and kissing him.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: When Joe rejects an offer for a TV show, the narrative tries to paint Renee as the unreasonable one for getting mad at Joe, but during the argument, she also raises some very good points about him being a white man appropriating the speech patterns of a Sassy Black Woman (and very poorly, at that) just to pay for his son's schooling. So when she gets humiliated while trying to take over as the new Loqueesha, it comes across as unfair instead of karmic until it reaches the point of utter ridiculousness when, without any hint of irony, Renee, a black female, tells Joe, a caucasian male, that "[he's] a better black woman than [she is]."
