Quite honestly the worst movie since Speed 2!
10 July 2010
This movie represents the low point of John Cusacks career. I hope he made enough to pay off gambling debts, coke addiction or something along those lines because he must have been desperate to put his name on this pile of trash.

How anyone can find a redeeming quality in this crap is beyond me. Not since wanting to break stuff after watching Speed 2, have I been so angry to have lost 2 hours of my life! I usually enjoy these type of comedies (hangover, role models, knocked up, Zack and Miri) etc... But this was someone wiping their butt on a DVD and selling to you the consumer. As long as they can make a buck, they will.

I don't usually review films but this is a mockery of comedy. Sad to see good actors stoop this low to make a buck.

Please do not ruin John Cusacks image in your head by watching this dung.

You've been warned!!

Really not all that great....
15 August 2008
I decided to go this this film ,instead of Pineapple Express, and now I wished I had decided to see the latter.

The cast should have made for a very funny film. The premise of Downey Jr. playing a black actor is funny enough. It was about the only bright spot in a rather boring film. Too bad they just didn't have a script that kept things rolling.

I have to say that this year is the re-birth of Downey Jr, and perhaps the end of Stiller's reign in the comedy genre.

Only die-hards of Stiller or Downey Jr films should see this. Barely a rental.

Unbelievably funny film! Just rent it already!
29 May 2004
I had some reservations about this one before I watched it. Now I cannot rave about it enough. I have watched this at least 10 times, and find it even funnier, every time I watch it. DeNiro is surprisingly good in this film, much better that he was in 'Analyze This'. Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller have become the best one-two comedic punch in the business. This movie is the complete package, with great acting, storyline, and potential for a great sequel. Some of the slapstick comedy wears a bit thin, but it still fits in with the storyline. Overall, a great film with good acting, and a

fantastic storyline. I can't wait for the sequel, even though this one stands on its own.

Heat (1995)
10/10
One of the best Action films ever!
29 May 2004
This film is one of the most intense action films around. It ranks up there with Live and Die in LA and Die Hard. Great acting by Pacino, Kilmer, Sizemore, DeNiro...need I say more? If you even remotely like any of these actors, WATCH THIS FILM! I bought this when it fist came out on VHS. I then bought it on DVD. I think my DVD is starting to wear out! Good one liners, memorable scenes throughout, and some edge of your seat action. Watch this film in a good home theatre if possible, as the sound during the gunfights is fantastic. You may find yourself ducking a few stray bullets. This is one film you simply cannot miss. The rating it has doesn't do it justice. Go rent it now!

Cadence (1990)
8/10
Great movie....really better that rated
29 May 2004
This movie surprised me. I am not really big on Charlie Sheen movies, other than Platoon, but this is a truly good movie. Martin Sheen gives a good performance, as does the supporting cast. The setting, while not authentic, is real enough. The dialogue and acting are both excellent and believable. I found I was interested in the characters, and although the ending is predictable, it was fitting. I would recommend this movie to just about anyone, other that the hardcore action enthusiast. Definitely an entertaining film, and one that is quite a bit better than the rating it has received. I wouldn't hesitate to rent it again.
