merklekranz Martin Lawrence drags this supposed comedy right down to the mat. His mugging becomes tiresome, his character becomes annoying, and he just plain can't act. The rest of the cast, including normally reliable Bernie Mac, Danny DeVito and William Fichtner, struggle mightily with the cartoon-like script. The premise that a ring could initiate all this mayhem, is stupid to begin with. "Tin Men" was funny because the premise for the feud, a minor fender bender, was believable. Richard Dreyfus and Danny DeVito made that movie work. DeVito cannot carry this clunker by himself, and everything seems forced. Not funny. Not recommended. Skip this one. - MERK

Queph Thael This is (in my opinion) Martin Lawrence's best movie. Many say that it isn't very good, and the first time I watched it I would have said the same thing. I originally purchased it for the actors, not knowing how good it was. I was actually rather disappointed in it at first but I watched again because I didn't want my money to be a complete waste. The second time I saw it (and don't ask me why) but I found it much more enjoyable. By the time I had watched it for about my six viewing it had become one of my favorite comedies, and definitely my favorite Martin Lawrence or Danny Devito film. I have also suggested this show to my friend, and just like me they didn't like it at first. But now they are loving and quoting it so I know it is not just me.So, if you want a film to watch over and over again, get this one. But if you only want to see it once I don't think you should bother with it.

Bryan The Westlake Dortmunder novels are generally brilliant. So why can't anyone film it right? "The Hot Rock" came closer but still didn't gel for me - Redford as Dortmunder? This time, the whole thing was a mess. Once the movie rights were sold, it seems that everyone involved did their level best to sabotage it until only the premise was left -and the title. Shame, too. Now some people who were subjected to the film might avoid the book. READ THE BOOK! Mr Westlake should sue to have it retitled and an apology should crawl across the screen anytime it airs. No, on second thought, it should be banned and a forcible recall issued. Anyone who has bought a copy should be required to return it to the manufacturer, non-compliance punishable by fines.Yeah, I hated it.That much.
