WOW! What a bad movie! WOW! I didn't expect much from it, but it was even worse than I ever imagined it would be! This film reaches NO target audience. It is SO goofy, that only a little kid would find it funny, but yet it has such constant TERRIBLE language that no kid should be allowed to watch it. It should be rated R for the language and violence, yet what person over 17 would like it? It was rated PG-13, but what person 13 or older would even like it? Also, it has no cultural target audience. It badly stereotypes whites as clumsy naive dorks, and blacks as violent ghetto thugs. Who could possibly like this film? Are both Jackson and Levy THAT desperate for work that they took on this project?! I can see Levy, as he has really been typecast into having to take these roles, but Jackson could do MUCH better. If fart jokes and gunshots to the butt, intermixed with constant obscenities makes you laugh, this is your film. Buy it, you'll love it! If you have the maturity of the age level you are supposed to be to see this film, save yourself the trouble, rent something else. Rent Bevis and Butthead. At least they to sophomoric humor well... I gave it a 3 out of 10, but that was charity...

Good ole Eugene Levy has been around for a long time, but I don't recall him ever playing a lead character (at least from what I've seen -he's been in over 80 movies). That's is too bad, because I think he made what could have otherwise been a dud work. Jackson's character was a little too "Pulp Fiction" or "hardcore" for this type of comedy, and the story itself was mediocre (read: "cookie cutter), but I thought Levy was hilarious, and I found myself laughing out loud more than once. Okay, the farting jokes were a little trite, but this is slapstick comedy. Nothing too deep, but very funny, and a decent ending. If you like Abbot and Costello, you'll probably like this. Definitely worth the price of a rental.

You know it is bad when the best jokes are about flatulence. If you are over 25, you'll wish you saw something else. Talented actors with only glimmers of humorous opportunities. Poor execution of a bad formulaic script. There are worse movies, my wife tells me Ishtar is a "1" so this can only sink to a "3." The other issue is that SLJ's character is played harsh and abusive in an unsuccessful attempt to be funny. This acted as a buzz kill to whatever humorous momentum Eugene Levy managed to achieve with his character. The bad guy was convincingly menacing, but did not setup any funny exchanges. After this, I have decided to check this site before purchasing a ticket to any more cop buddy movies.

I don't know why, but something just made me wanna pick up the movie The Man. Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy, why not? I have never seen Samuel in a comedy, so I thought this would be interesting and it seemed like a movie with a guaranteed laugh. While I did have moments where I laughed, like the scene where Andy tells the bad guys who Derrick is, that he's his, well, you'll have to see, I don't know if I can write it on IMDb. The story was good and the actors were fine, I'm not sure why, but the movie just didn't work or click like I thought it would. Andy is a dentist who is about to go make huge speeches around the country, coincidentally he is in the place of where a cop, Derrick, is going under cover to buy weapons from a gang. Andy is mistaken for Derrick and now has become part of the case pretending that he's interested in this stuff. But it may not happen since he's driving Derrick insane with his pure and wholesome image. The Man has a few good laughs that I'm sure you'll get, but I do warn you that the movie doesn't provide a full out comedy that you'll die laughing from. Eugene held his own, but Samuel in my opinion at least really cannot hold a comedy very well. He was meant to play like a serious but lovable tough guy cop, but it didn't work. So I'll leave this one up to you, if you wanna check it out, go ahead, because it's one of those films you'll have to see for yourself. 5/10

This was by no means the best film I had ever seen. It wasn't a particularly original premise or story, nor were the jokes and gags that great...and it will by no means end up in the pantheon of the great buddy dramas... but this movie was entertaining! And isn't that the point? The movie had some language that might offend some, and a lot of the humor was crude. The base of this movie however was Sam Jackson in a familiar "Sam Jackson" character and Eugene Levy in typical Eugene Levy role. It only lasted 80 minutes or so, and there were not big plot 'twists'. Just a quick story with a few laughs. Not something that I would want to watch over and over, but worth renting or watching on cable.

Here are some signs of a bad film: 1) The ticket booth employee says 'Wow! You're the first people to watch this today' and you are at the late night showing. 2) You have to wake up the projectionist to get the movie started. 3) There is a disclaimer before the movie asking to not throw snacks or beverages at the screen. 4) Another disclaimer appears reading that once the film starts money can not be refunded. 5) You fall asleep with your eyes open. 6) You or a friend scream out 'Please burn this print!' All of this happened as we watched Samuel Jackson beat up Eugene Levy for kicks.

In 'The Man' Samuel L. Jackson plays Special Agent Derrick Vann, an ATF agent who has just found out that his crooked partner is dead. Eugene Levy plays Andy Fidler, a dental equipment salesman who is just trying to get to his convention. In an unlikely series of events, Andy Fidler gets involved with the gun dealers who murdered Derrick Vann's partner. Sounds funny? Actually, this movie had some really humorous parts with Eugene Levy. But, that is about it, just parts. Samuel L. Jackson is really good as the straight undercover agent who doesn't want to put up with Andy's (Levy) antics. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough of Levy to keep this movie funny. I do not think that Jackson really works that well in comedy. I do not think he has done anything really funny since 'The Great White Hype'. If you pay attention to the plot, you will find that it does not make a whole lot of sense either.

I think this was Samuel L Jackson's best and Eugene Levy just topped it all off. This is a great movie the only problem is is that I wouldn't recommend taking your kids to see it. It contains a lot of cursing. I think it is something you should go see you will laugh out loud until you cry, it is that funny. From the first few minutes you can tell that the movie will be hilarious. This is a must see and it gets better every minute. When I saw it I didn't think it was that funny until about a quarter of the way into and every second was another few moments of laughter. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie. I have one more comment to the director of this great movie, IT WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
