Standard comedy; some laughs, quickly forgotten
I must admit, when I sat down to watch this, I was pleasantly surprised; it was funnier than I had imagined… however, with my expectations being very, very low, it doesn’t really mean that the film is anything more than average. A pretty good amount of laughs, but nothing memorable. The ending seemed to be too much of a “happy ending” and was obviously done to open the film up to the mainstream crowd. The plot is decent enough, but it is obviously just written to put the characters in unlikely situations, and is at least a little too over-the-top. The pacing is pretty good, the film isn’t really boring for the 90 minutes it lasts(then again, it isn’t really *that* hard to make people laugh for an hour and a half). The characters are somewhat well-written, and one or more manage to rise above simply being tired stereotypes. The dialog is often quite humorous, and mostly well-delivered. The acting is decent, for a bunch of no-names; the only well-known actors in the cast are Jake Busey and Jamie Foxx, both of whom prove their worth as comedic actors. The humor is quite good, if a bit dull and predictable. The film has next to no memorable parts to it, though it is somewhat funny. All in all, an average comedy, and worth watching *once* if you can see it for free. I recommend it to fans of typical American comedies. If it’s on TV, see it, unless you’ve seen it before. I have seen it once, and have no intention of seeing it again. 5/10
A 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk is the best thing in this movie …..
The beautiful 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk is the best thing in this movie. The beginning has a few chuckles as Jamie Foxx’s girlfriend, Nia Long, gets an education about 8 track players. Once the “Sip & Zip convenience store is taken over by some inept robbers, the movie begins a steady slide downhill. In other words, as the supposed hostage situation becomes more ridiculous, so does the film. None of the cast of misfit characters is developed, and the simplistic script is stretched beyond belief. It’s almost like they said this is what we have, now what can we do with it? I absolutely will add “Held Up” to my DVD collection, but only because of the magnificent car. – MERK
