Gallo has delivered a clever suspense comedy that, thanks to a taut script, creative direction, and first-rate performances from its leads, gives Double Take more weight than one would expect from a genre crowd-pleaser.

There's so much going on it's hard to keep track, and after a while you may be tempted to give up.

We've since seen plenty of self-satisfied smart alecks, and Freddy, as written and played, brings nothing new to the party.

The often difficult-to-follow plot is sort of "Traffic" for nitwits.

I realized there was no hope for the movie because the plot and characters had alienated me beyond repair. If an audience is going to be entertained by a film, first they have to be able to stand it.

Most of the comedy, such as it is, consists of the uppity Chase acting "street" and the ghetto-fabulous Tiffany putting on moneyed airs. But, if you've seen the trailers, you already know that.

It's not just bad, it's ugly. Not just stupid but really aesthetically displeasing. The sooner this movie disappears from sight, the better.

Very funny movie. They try to switch clothes and become each other so one can escape the cops. It's just hilarious cause they try to take on each other's personality too.
