Full Plot Details

It seems everyone is trying to get into heaven; at least those whose time is up. For Lance Barton (Chris Rock), a struggling comedian and bicycle messenger, it's the last thing on his mind. His due date in heaven is fifty years away. In the meantime, he has big dreams to pursue on Earth, such as landing a slot at the final Amateur Night Contest at the famed Apollo Theatre. Lance's has one little problem though - he isn't that funny. Thanks to an overly cautious emissary from heaven, Mr. Keyes (Eugene Levy), he's going to get hit (literally) with a much bigger problem. Showing that even God has difficulty finding good help these days, the inept minion mistakenly plucks Lance from a traffic accident - before it takes place. Transporting him to the Pearly Gates, or more accurately, the velvet roped-lines of the hottest club around, the error is finally addressed by Mr. King (Chazz Palminteri), the streetwise, no-nonsense head angel who manages the place from his plush windowed office. Since returning to his own body on Earth is impossible, the urban dwelling Lance reluctantly agrees to a normally unthinkable proposal. He'll occupy the body of a wealthy old white mogul, Charles Wellington III (Brian Rhodes), until a more suitable body can be found. Strangely enough, in a Park Avenue penthouse, servants and butlers become his new homeys as Lance works on his streetwise comedy routine for the big Apollo showdown. Living in the body of a callous old white man would be bizarre enough for Lance without falling in love with Sontee Jenkins (Regina King), the beautiful woman publicly battling Wellington's company at the same time. And if that wasn't enough, he has to deal with the love affair between Wellington's wife and his personal assistant, and their plot to have him killed.

Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumWhen Rock finds his authentic swing as an actor as well as a comedian, he'll be, like, a movie god.
Bangitout.com - 8/10 by Jordan HillerRock saw the untapped goldmine of humor, found when a white person acts black.
UK Critic - 8/10 by Ian Waldron-MantganiGoes out of its way to avoid being funny -- backs actors into corners, restricting them from using their natural talent.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekThe level of invention varies from moment to moment, and long stretches of the picture are flat and undisciplined.
Reel.com - 7/10 by Tor ThorsenNo offense, Chris, put could you please just keep bringing us the pain? We get plenty of sap elsewhere.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 7/10 by William ArnoldRock, who seems to have studied every nuance of Beatty's Oscar-nominated comic performance -- is surprisingly appealing in what is often a straight role.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Stephen HunterRock is such a consistent delight, and so powerfully amused at the profound pleasure of being Chris Rock, that he shares the wealth with all of us.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Nell MinowThe people behind this movie ... wisely devote 25 percent of the film to Rock's stand-up routine.
Fresno Bee - 6/10 by Donald MunroShoddy in concept, woefully plotted and so sluggish it suggests an arthritic dog crossing the street, the film settles for little more than tired gags and Rock's sweet smile.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Jay CarrIt's Rock's first venture into leading-man territory, and the material is carefully tailored to his measurements. He's fully believable as a standup comic. How he'll fare as a character other than Chris Rock is yet to be determined.
