Lawrence goes the extreme distance to make you fall out of your chair laughing.
The plot is formula all the way, but Lawrence has found a way to incorporate the physical techniques of the great silent stars with his standup comic's arsenal, and it's a pleasure to watch him at work.

In this movie actor Martin Lawrence starts in a made to order story of a jewel tief who returns to the scene of the crime to retrieve his loot. Only to find that the construction site where he stashed the diamon is now a police station. He gets told that the only way to get inside is being under arrested or by wearing a badge, he decides to pretend that he is detective.
Report
In the end, the comedian makes the movie seem better than it really is.
The comedian's thankful willingness to do anything for Blue Streak...is its redeeming grace.
Not a bad concept, and Martin Lawrence is appealing. Unfortunately, the writers have no gift for comic writing.
A pooped, poorly executed buddy-cop comedy with more cliches than expletives.
(Lawrence)'s not just unfunny, he's coarsely anti-funny. The film just lurches from one dull skit to the next without bite or much of a point.
Blue Streak is good but one thing that flops this is the plot of the movie. But it's sometimes funny.
Report
Shut up Martin Lawrence.
