Juel Taylor's feature film debut is a smashing success — They Cloned Tyrone is everything and then some. The bold stylistic choices work at every turn and are never overextended. John Boyega and Jamie Foxx are giving some of their most exciting performances to date, and Teyonah Parris has that something special that brings it all together. They Cloned Tyrone is funny, well-paced, and just plain cool, and when you think that's all it is, the script digs even deeper.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The essential question at the heart of They Cloned Tyrone is, did Black people create their own problems, or did the white man mastermind their despair? In reality, we know the answer is the latter but in the hands of Taylor's script, that concept is explored in a way we seldom see in modern storytelling.
The jokes in They Cloned Tyrone have a high hit rate. It's hard not to laugh at the sight of white guys in afros and lines like, “There ain’t no I in goddamn!” But despite the sense of humor, the overall tone is slightly darker than you might expect. Loss, identity, and Black pride are just a few of the themes Taylor’s script tackles. But what truly sells the emotion of the film is when Fontaine comes face to face with the clones in the film's climax.
