Memorable, crazy movie

Best movie ever!

As Good As It Gets

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Criminal impersonates a cop and lives the job to the full while he searches for a diamond buried under a police station. It isn't much more than standard action-comedy fare and it is blatant in its disrespect for what is at all credible but Martin Lawrence does animated bozo characters well, if you like simple teenage humour.

I see a lot of people don't like it because it isn't realistic. Who cares! It is a comedy not a character analyzing drama.And as a comedy it works just fine. We get a very creative story and a lot of laughs thanks to it as the plot gets along. The actors are also very good. I loved Martin Lawrence as the main character. He is perfect at it and keeps us laughing the way he delivers hilariously written jokes. It was also a pleasure to watch Dave Chappelle in it. He has a smaller part but is hilarious whenever he appears on stage.Really recommend it to other comedy fans who don't care too much about reality but just about getting some good fun.

This is one of those movies that I watch to simply tum my mind off and enjoy. Some of my friends immediately expect it to be bad, while I think that it looks interesting and go and see it anyway, and usually end up enjoying it. Blue Streak is in a similar vein to Bad Boys, with Martin Lawrance as the big mouthed negro who seems to never have anything go right.Lawrance plays a crook who steals a very valuable diamond but is betrayed by one of his colleagues who decides that a quarter of the proceeds is not enough. While escaping, he hides the diamond in a construction site. Two years later, after being released from gaol, he returns to find that the building is a police station. So he disguises himself as a police officer to get into the building and to steal the diamond.Blue Streak is a comedy of errors. It is not that Lawrance is an idiot, but rather that he is a crook, and everybody around him treats him as if he were a well decorated cop. He also seems to be able to solve cases that most cops couldn't because they do not have the criminal background that he has.Blue Streak isn't something that has any deep, philosophical meaning, but it is a cute movie to watch and enjoy. It is not entirely original, as role-reversals have been a common form of comedy for ages. The role reversal may be a little different, but I am sure there are other movies were crooks become cops and vice versa. It is just that Martin Lawrance adds cool spark to it.

After two years in prison, Miles (Lawrence) looks for the place he hid a precious diamond. On finding the building to be an LAPD centre, he disguises himself as a cop to recover the precious object.Martin Lawrence shone in Bad Boys and that reason alone was enough for me to sit down and watch this 1999 crime comedy and not only did I find it to be a waste of time, but a picture that is an abomination to everything it supposedly stands for.Having films simply for entertainment is too easy in modern cinema. Films that make us think and still manage that fun factor are the ones that get us reminiscing.With Lawrence's comic background this was always going to be a further selling point for his career, and it didn't do much for him either when looking at his recent flops such as Wild Hogs. His hard attitude and geek like imitations (shiver at the thought of his pizza man) are some of the worst comedy ever to emerge on a screen, (this review written by a guy who has seen Disaster Movie). His timing and bizarre rough language fails to interest and importantly fails to entertain, which destroys the whole appeal of the film. Based around Miles from the get go, he is left out of about 5 scenes and with this terrible character who thinks he is 'it' and simply beats hard working professionals makes this worse than sitting on a cactus.The plot, as if not obvious enough already, follows Miles on a hunt to track down the diamond and to do that he must become a good guy (his comic 'appeal' make him feel like a good guy anyway) The movie is consistently awful with its poor central character, bad humour and exceptionally weak portrayal of cops.The humour from other characters could possibly have saved it, if they were interesting, funny and actual people with personalities.The representation of the force is egregious, a typical bunch of cops who haven't got a clue, eat donuts and can't drive properly, unless they are taught how by an idiotic character who is brand new to the team.It is hard to believe the interesting funny guy from Bad Boys leads the way in this picture. Blue Streak is a shocking excuse for a crime comedy with predictability written on the cover, awful representations and stereotypes.
