Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottBy the end, even the irrepressible Mr. Foxx seems tired and defeated.
Internet Reviews - 6/10 by Steve RhodesEven if it isn't much of a comedy, at least it's a good-spirited one. The cast gives it their all, but the material is hopeless.
Newsday - 4/10 by Gene SeymourThere are points in the movie where you think you're ready to laugh, but, like the movie as a whole, they don't amount to much.
San Diego Union-Tribune - 4/10 by Dennis HuntIn this disjointed comedy, Foxx is just a Murphy clone.
TheMovieReport.com - 3/10 by Michael DequinaIt takes some doing to make performers as magnetic and energetic as Foxx and Long uninteresting to watch, and that's exactly what Rash and Eastin have managed to accomplish here.
3BlackChicks Review - 2/10 by Kamal 'The Diva' LarsuelI'd rather be held up than have to sit through this again.
User Review - 10/10 by Brandan WThis movie was okay. It made me laugh out loud more than once. It was however VERY slow moving in parts. I fell asleep watching it on Friday night, but it was decent enough that on Saturday morning I found where I dozed off and continued watching it. A good point is that the movie manages to be moderately funny without being crude or overly sexual... That's hard to find these days. The biggest negative is that virtually the entire plot occurs in one spot, and you get very little change of scenery throughout the entire movie. If you're looking for continuous laughs, this may not be the movie for you. But if you can endure the slow parts, the humor will sporadically appear.
