    An easygoing, earthy comedy that's a good showcase for the robust comic gifts of Cedric the Entertainer.

    If laughs are the currency of any comedy, then this one pays minimum wage and, worse, makes you work damn hard even for that pittance.

    Apart from Williams' presence, director Christopher Erskin's feature debut isn't worth the price of submission. It's not a road trip; it's a road trap.

    Boring, mediocre movie.

    Hmm.......I don't get the hate for this. It's actually pretty funny, I own it and I'm not ashamed of it. I like it and it's worth a check. Sure, some, I repeat....SOME.....of the jokes were forced or predictable. I liked it and I think you would if you have nothing to do or just want a good comedy to watch.… Collapse
