Too much of everything

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Great Film overall

Expected more

You know, I wasn't sure about this movie after reading some of the reviews, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. I'm usually not a fan of Levy's brand of humor, nor Jackson's angry vulgarity, but combine these two in an action comedy and the contrast had me in tears laughing. Well written, well acted and fast paced. It had everything...comedy, action AND character development. I totally enjoyed this film. Yes, there is off color language, but I watched it on a censored broadcast and initially wondered if any dialogue would be left a few minutes into the film. But even with all the bleeping, it still worked, proving that you don't need to have all that in film. You got the idea what they were saying. I highly recommend this to those who love just plain entertainment like I do.

We've seen this basic story many times before, the wimp who is forced into the world of cops and criminals. This wouldn't matter if the results had been funny as intended, but the movie isn't. Jackson's hard-assed cop character doesn't have a likable edge that makes us root for him to succeed, and Levy's character is simply overdone when less would have been more. The various gags in the movie are very familiar as well, from Levy's motormouth character to jokes about flatulence.P.S. - If you must watch this movie, don't make the same mistake that I did and watch the TV print edited down so that it fits a ninety minute time slot with commercials. Some important information is obviously missing, resulting in several moments (like the pool scene) in the movie being somewhat incomprehensible.

Two things I learnt from watching The Man last night, one is that Samuel L Jackson literally will do any film, regardless of how under written his role is. Does he even read scripts any more? You have to wonder when you see drek like this. Secondly I had it confirmed that film makers need to realise that a great supporting actor in comedies is not leading man potential. Eugene Levy, nice fella who tickled us pink as Jim's dad in Amercan Pie, simply isn't strong enough to carry a film, especially when his co-worker Samuel is bogged down by a meandering dull and unoriginal script {Piddock & Oberman you should be ashamed}. Luke Goss tries his best at villainy but Blade II seems a very long time ago now, whilst to under use Miguel Ferrer is tantamount to a treason of cinema.Unimaginative dirge, 2/10 for sympathy.

I thought it was a pretty funny movie, the farting scenes made me giggle a bit, then got old after a while. Which started to annoy me! some other scenes were funny, but not enough to be a funny movie. So it is a pretty funny comedy. there were not enough laughs for me to give it any more than six stars. If it had been funnier it would have gotten seven or maybe eight stars from me. Over all I think it was a good movie and is a sort of a wast of a comedy, but not a total waste of a comedy. It was not a real waste of time to watch either. Over all I have no more to say, but I have to tell you this because I don't have enough lines yet for me to be able to send in this review. lol
