    Tries too hard to be funny and doesn't succeed. Rock is better as a comic than as an actor. Too much moralizing.

    I love Chris Rock but this movie is the most pathetic I have seen in years. I felt sorry for all the actors in it, except the hilarious Jennifer Coolidge (Stiffler's mom in American Pie) who as usual steels the show.

    This movie was not a comedy. It had a couple funny scenes, but mostly, this movie was just a love story. The concept was interesting, but it was sort of wasted in this movie. The concept is hilarious. Unfortunately, where there should have been jokes, there just weren't. This all adds up to a somewhat sad ending.

    The selling out of Chris Rock -- or Down to Earth, as he's chosen to call it -- is a sad, sad thing.

    The film seems to argue that Rock's real-life manipulation of the race card is little more than exploitation, rather than the essence of his incendiary comic critique.

    Rock is undisputably gifted and charismatic, but when Down to Earth takes his edge away, the film's energy goes with it. And without energy, no comedy can survive.
