    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.

    The screenplay has no idea how to modulate the banter between the movie's talented stars so that it approximates affectionate and playful sparring.

    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.

    A brilliant slice of movie magic. A landmark motion picture.

    I liked it. Sure doesn't deserve all those pro reviewers who slammed it.

    This movie was HILARIOUS. I can't understand the bad reviews. I think part of it is understanding Eugene Levy's sense of humor. The humor is in his expressions & hand gestures (It's very much a Jewish sense of humor.) He is a perfect foil for Samuel Jackon's kick-ass no-nonsense. So if you don't get, you lose!… Expand

    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?… Collapse
