    One to watch if there's nothing else on

    Perhaps it's because I was bored. Perhaps it's because there was nothing else on. Perhaps I was on the rebound from having to sit through Hangover 2 (... read more »

    The Man....nequin

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS | Show review anywayHide

    Quite a good yarn, though extremely predictable. I found it a waste of Samule L's talents - a bit like 51st State. Even Eugene Levy was wasted with a feeble... read more »

    The Man

    unfortunately didn't find this one particularly funny! My son found the toilet humour funny - but then that's a typical boy!!

    Great film

    I thought the film was brilliant and was surprised I haven't seen it before. I actually found the chemistry between the two main characters a little ... read more »

    The Man

    I was very disappointed with this film. I expected it to be funny, having watched the trailer. The constant arguing between the two lead characters was very ... read more »

    The Man

    Quite amusing but considering the quality of actors I was a little disappointed! Still I laughed a couple of times and didn't think it was a complete waste ... read more »

    Doesn't work

    Samuel L Jackson and Eugene Levy just seem to be shooting different movies, so bad is their interaction. There's no real interest generated by this movie. ... read more »

    Oh dear. Painful.

    This is a film without a genre.
    
    On the one hand, there's this irritating leading guy stuck in an almost forgivable family-comedy style slapstick... read more »

    I should have brought this one.

    I love Samuel L Jackson but teamed up with Eugene Levy and they are hilarious. The story was good, the comedy was excellent and the dialogue kept me laughing ... read more »
