Good fun
In the constant quest for a movie that both me and the wife can enjoy, this one fit the bill perfectly.
It's not a particularly original idea (average Joe gets inadvertently caught up in mob/gang activities with hilarious consequences), and it's essentially predictable, but compared to similar movies like Mickey Blue Eyes and Analyze This, it's the best of the bunch. It's a great duo - "The Turk" is excellent at turning what is now a typical Samuel Jackson hardman performance into some great laugh out loud moments. -

STINKS
Some time ago, I accidentally trod dog excrement through my living room carpet. The time I spent on my hands and knees wretching whilst scrubbing the gag inducing mess from my carpet was an olfactory delight compared to the visual trauma of spending 90mins watching this DVD.

Moments of side splitting fun!
Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson are a brilliant duo in a very funny movie. If you are looking for a deep serious plot, look elsewhere, if you are looking for something to make you laugh out loud then this is it. Eugene Levy is a genious in daftness. He plays the same style of character as the American Pie films. Just watch it trust me!!

Rubbish
Cop Jackson, who goes around abusing people and Levy, the archetypal bumbling idiot, end up together to try and break up gun runners in the form of Goss.
Be assured this comedy suffers from one huge failing, it isn't funny. in fact this film is as woeful as you can get- rotten plot, rotten acting and a rotten script. If you want to see a funny film about two guys brought together for a common purpose watch Midnight Run, it is light years better than this pap.

As Sam Jackson would say: Who d'bch now?
Didn't expect much from this movie, but it is definitely worth watching. Sam Jackson and the father out of American Pie are such an odd couple to pair. Laughs all round when it gets going.
One of the best buddy/buddy, with a love/hate twist comedies that I've seen for a long while. Not as good as Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but then you just can't top that. -

The Man... Like the other 20 men you've ever watched
Another run of the mill hollywood comedy with a typically predictable plot (I struggle to remember a movie involving police which didn't involve the line 'OK, Gimme your gun and badge') Sam L Jackson plays another tough guy with a hidden soft side well enough and Eugene Levy has his moments, but the fart jokes really do scrape the barrel.
