A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This by far the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life.I saw this movie in theaters with a friend because the cast line up looked promising. We tried to like this movie, we really did. We weren't the only ones who hated it. Walking in I was surprised to about 20 people in the theater. The movie had come out recently so I expected a bigger crowd but no. About 30 minutes into the movie, people started walking out. By the end there were about 10 people left. There is maybe one good moment of spontaneity in the film but other than that one fleeting moment it's pure garbage. I did not walk out though, I stayed until the end hoping the movie would redeem itself. I regret losing those minutes of my life.
actually would rate this movie a minus 10. i saw it on HBO and walked out. the stars of this movie are usually very good, but none of them could save this utter bomb. 'nuff said.and now after having said all that was necessary, IMDb says i need 10 lines of commentary.... who are they kidding? the damn movie doesn't warrant 10 lines and IMDb should know that. their own review only lasts two and a half lines.anyway. the "best, best" part of the movie is the very end and the credits. no one should waste time or money buying or renting this dud, much less watching it. i've actually seen grown men regurgitate a complete meal over this. save yourselves.
Anthony Anderson has been type-casted. He only plays the roles of stupid obnoxious, retarded characters in every movie that he's in. This movie had fly Kellita Smith, fly Nicole Parker, and fly Regina Hall in it. Unfortunately, their good looks couldn't help the stupid plot of this movie. If you see the DVD version, you will see 20 deleted scenes that will explain some of the plot holes in the movie. We should have known that Nicole's character told a lot of lies in the movie. But whatever happened to Kellita's pool boy who got locked up in the trunk? Is anyone so stupid that they would try to sleep with someone blindfolded like Regina Hall did with Donald Faison? Overall, this movie had a very fairytale stupid plot.
Okay, I am obviously alone here.I thought this movie was funny but too short.Peaches rocked.The gold-digger wife was (is) hot.Loretta Devine as the secretary...flawless.The acting-VP with the college degrees...or...no degrees, going berserk...could it be any funnier?The sandwich getting body slammed on the roadside? funny shtick.And the fifty-cent music...perfect!I thought this movie had a lot to offer. It was just too short. The credits were rolling but I was wanting more.Remember, it is not true to life. It seems that "black" films are required to either represent true life or contain a "do-good message" for the youth.I'd prefer to go to a movie to laugh and be entertained. I thought this film was entertaining.King's Ransom was funny but too short.I've seen it twice just to make sure.
