The Man has it’s moments, but overall fails to deliver
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.

All the production values of a Saturday afternoon action serial.
I can’t say the movie was a disappointment because I got what I expected from the trailer. I hoped for Jackson to reprise the Jules character from Pulp Fiction but I knew I wouldn’t get him. Instead we get someone almost as angry and a whole lot more impotent: he threw tantrums when it’s obvious that his bad-ass character would beat Levy. The chemistry between Jackson and Levy never develops, it’s a tired combination of the oblivious and irritating (Levy) teamed up with the dead-serious bad-ass (Jackson). The director doesn’t know how to take advantage of the two as his gags are poorly set-up. There’s an awful lot of lowest-common-denominator stuff in this movie. Once the movie starts to drone on, out comes the fart jokes. In the end, I amused myself by substituting my own dialogue throughout the movie and looking for references to Toronto. That’s another disappointment: the movie is set in Detroit and filmed in Toronto but there was minimal effort to actually make the city FEEL like Detroit. Sure, they digitally removed the CN Tower from the city skyline but the unique Toronto streetcars and streetcar tracks, Petro-Canada gas-stations, Royal York Hotel, bilingual signposts, people walking about and NO garbage or graffiti anywhere prove that it is NOT Detroit. They should have at least avoided the skyline completely since it doesn’t match Detroit at all, even with the Skydome and CN Tower removed. There you go: a poor to mediocre effort on all levels.
