I think the guy who filmed this in the theater summed the movie up best. He laughed twice only. And both times were "dick" jokes. This is a monumental disappointment of a movie. And it was marketed incorrectly. It is not a comedy. Or at the very least, any comedy that's funny. The storyline is okay, but movies such as Ocean's Eleven did it much better, with much more class. 2/5 stars.

In his "comeback" role, Eddie Murphy hams it up to a character somewhat similar to his Trading Places role, except without a single likable aspect to him. And Casey Affleck is completely wasted in this role.

I thought this movie was rather funny. Awesome pick for actor line-up. They mesh together very well, complementing each others comedic talent. & of course, Eddy Murphy never comes up short. Great direction & plot. Interesting ending. Defiantly comedic, some drama. Would be a decent movie to watch with the whole family. Defiantly worth watching twice.

The movie is well directed and the performances are good, the main problem though is the script which isn't funny enough and is filled with plot holes. If the movie were much funnier I'd certainly forget about the plot holes, however when such a large part of the film is about a heist, details are important. There's several good laughs and most of the actors do a good job, but in the end it's fairly lukewarm and pedestrian. Someone who's easier to please will probably like this movie a lot more than I did.

I thought this was an ok movie. It was a bit predictable at times but it still kept my attention the whole time. It has some funny scenes too. If you love eddie murphy and Ben stiller watch it, if you don't then you might not like it too much. Either way it is worth a watch.
