Rating of 2 stars out of 5 Radio Times

After such heavyweight message flicks as The Shawshank Redemption and Dead Man Walking, Tim Robbins takes a comic breather in this glossy but empty-headed buddy movie. Robbins plays a stressed-out executive, who thinks his wife (Kelly Preston) is having an affair with his boss (Michael McKean). Seeking revenge, he finds an unlikely ally in petty thief Martin Lawrence — after he makes the mistake of trying to carjack Robbins. The two stars do their best with the comic crumbs they are handed, but both they and writer/director Steve Oedekerk are hampered by the fact that this is an action comedy where nothing really happens.

Rated - 5 starsA real must see!

A customer from London , 07/07/2004

This was recommended to me by a friend and has now become a real favourite. A hilarious film, lots of laugh-out-loud comedy. The scene with Tim Robbins 'dancing' by the car will have you in stitches. The two actors work well together with their relationship developing on screen throughout their crazy day. The film reminds me of 'Falling Down', where events spiral out of control, but with laughs. A great view, highly recommended!

I'm still shocked how bad this was. What was Tim Robbins thinking?

Rated - 2 starsI stupidly believed the star rating

A customer from Bucks , 11/08/2006

I chose this film because of the good reviews. Its really unfunny. Cringingly so in parts. If your sense of humour has in the least bit developed beyond the age of 15yrs old I would avoid it.
