 | So not funny, I am a fan of Martin Lawrence's comedyflicks but this just isn't funny... and what's up with the gay fashion policeofficer?
Danny Devito isn't funny at all in this film, and he ahas the lead in it so it gets really annoying watching it...
Even BLACK KNIGHT was 5 times better... do not even rent this movie... |

| Five minutes in, I was cringing. Fifteen minutes in, I was in pain. It rates one star because the cinematography, lighting, sound, and other techical crews did competent work -- and because it's the lowest rating on the form.
If you love a good comedy caper, read the Donald Westlake book this atrocity was based on. It's clever, thrilling and hilarious -- everything the movie ain't. If you *must* get your comedy capers in movie form, get The Hot Rock instead. On the other hand, if your idea of brilliant humor is the stuff that cracks up 12-year-olds when they think they're being naughty, hey, this may be right up your alley. |

| Starts out with good timing, and some decent laughable banter from Martin Lawrence. Nothing laugh out loud funny but pleasantly amusing schtick. The central premise is actually quite interesting (billionaire stealing a ring from a petty robber etc), but the film fails to take advantage of it, choosing instead to lapse into numerous plot-holes, cliches and mind-bending stupidity. There's even a gay, dog-loving detective who adds fart humor to the mix. And all this leads to a climax that takes a quantum leap of logic and rationality. Perhaps a worthy rental if you're into slapstick, but overall a skippable fare. |

| A big fan of Donald Westlake, especially the Dortmunder series, this adaptation of one of his funniest was ruined by allowing the likes of Martin Lawrence. Matthew Chapman, responsible for the screen play obviously didn't understand the Dortmunder character. As usual a good story is chopped and hacked deviating from the story line and loosing the real purpose behind the events that lead to the final confrontation with Max Fairbanks. What a disappointment. At least read the book, you'll enjoy it better and you're intelligence won't be insulted by the fast, smart mouth talking of Martin Lawrence, who by the way is one of the executive producers. Go figure. (I didn't even want to give this star but you can't forward your review unless you pick one of them) |
