    Even though it had a moment or two that made me laugh, it mostly just feels too disjointed. I like comedies, but I was just staring silently for most of the movie.

    I thought it was a pretty stupid movie and a waste of money. Even though there were good jokes this movie was pointless.

    Martin Lawrence is great, and Danny de Vito isn't as bad as he can be.

    Martin Lawrence, in my opinion, is going downhill in the comedy department. This movie held some laughs but not enough to make me want to see it again. Somebody, wake up Martin!!

    You're asking for it with a title like that. I mean, what with the amount of imagination critics have these days, a title like that is exactly what they need! They'll jump on it like a pack of hungry flesh-eating antelopes, they will, viz: "What's the Worst That Could Happen? This. Film. Is." And they'd have a point.

    The movie turns into a cobweb of tricky spins and twists that seems like a hip-hop version of "Ruthless People."

    Maybe the worst thing that can happen is that every other movie at the multiplex will be sold out this weekend.

    Actually boasts a decent script with character development, a sense of pace and some well-drawn supporting roles.
