75Frenetic, maddening, exhilarating, ridiculous, fascinating farce of an action-comedy-thriller-mystery-whatever.
-
75Gallo has delivered a clever suspense comedy that, thanks to a taut script, creative direction, and first-rate performances from its leads, gives Double Take more weight than one would expect from a genre crowd-pleaser.
-
63Snappily written and even more snappily directed.
-
An even-handed mixture of suspense and comedy that aims to play fair with the audience on both fronts.
-
50Decidedly lowbrow.
-
50There's so much going on it's hard to keep track, and after a while you may be tempted to give up.
-
42A bafflingly unfunny comedy.
-
38We've since seen plenty of self-satisfied smart alecks, and Freddy, as written and played, brings nothing new to the party.
-
38As buddy pics go, this is pretty much not even worth a single look, let alone a double take.
-
30You get the feeling that everyone was in a good mood and the margaritas were pouring, but neither Gallo nor anybody else ever found a bottom line for this movie or its characters.
-
25I realized there was no hope for the movie because the plot and characters had alienated me beyond repair. If an audience is going to be entertained by a film, first they have to be able to stand it.
-
25This dismally strained comedy defies laughs and doesn't contain an ounce of internal logic.
-
25The often difficult-to-follow plot is sort of "Traffic" for nitwits.
-
25Another racial cartoon buddy movie that eagerly flogs its best laugh -- indeed, its only laugh -- in the trailer.
-
25If ever a film was fit only for straight-to-video release, it's this one.
-
20An ostensible action-comedy that can't seem to get either side of its genre equation right.
-
20A shell game passing as entertainment.
-
20Most of the comedy, such as it is, consists of the uppity Chase acting "street" and the ghetto-fabulous Tiffany putting on moneyed airs. But, if you've seen the trailers, you already know that.
-
20Poorly paced action comedy.
-
10Who the heck green-lit this garbage heap anyway?
-
10It's doubtful that anyone, even executors of Greene's literary estate, will be able to discern much of the source material in this frenetic trifle.
-
0It's not just bad, it's ugly. Not just stupid but really aesthetically displeasing. The sooner this movie disappears from sight, the better.
