Steph....Not bad but I liked the original British 2007 version much better though. I like Chris Rock but this was pretty much a shot by shot remake. He didn't put much of himself into it. And, I'm sorry, but Martin Lawrence just can't act. I was very aware that I was watching him in a movie. James Marsden was very good though. He played the best part of the movie, the nice guy that accidentally takes drugs and becomes wacky. So this movie isn't bad but if you want to see it, I say skip this one and watch the original.
Kris... I have 2 reviews for this one. If you have seen the British original than this one was just OK. If you have not seen the original than you will really like this. Its basically a shot for shot remake just with black actors. Having said that they all did a good job. Chris Rock is always solid. Martin Lawrence, Danny Glover, Tracy Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Luke Wilson were solid but not special. The real thief in this movie is James Marsden who steals the movie. So all in all it was all right, i enjoyed it but was a little bored because i felt i had all ready seen this movie before.
