    Who knew Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy would make such a dynamic comic duo?

    Both Jackson and Levy are better than director Les Mayfield's ("Blue Streak") meandering comedy.

    Nobody needed to make it, nobody needs to see it, Jackson and Levy are too successful to waste time with it. It plays less like a film than like a deal.

    It's no wonder the critics bombed this film. The producers got the wrong man as The Man. Coz I'm the man. Yeah, that's right, me. I am The Man. I would have made a much better Man. Ya dig?… Expand
