MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

witster18 WTWTCH is a genuinely funny film. In particular, Lawrence and Leguizamo have many hilarious moments. I started watching it even though the RT scores on dtv were low, but it never seems to take long for Martin to get my attention and give one of his movies a chance like I did this one. SOmetimes they've been surprisingly watchable(Blue Streak, Nothing to Lose), and sometimes they haven't(Black Knight, Death at a Funeral).The film isn't great, but it does seem to throw out a genuinely funny scene about every 15 minutes.The problems with the film lie in the plot, or the lack of a plot. I know we here this a lot in reviews, but this film falls right there with Expendables 2 for most 'acceptable' film(not good mind you) that has ABSOLUTELY ZERO PLOT. Even if you try to discern a plot - the characters within just don't fit in it.The films ending is dreadful, and completely undermines and belittles what little plot there might have been. You really ask yourself what in the world the film was all about when it's over.I'm stuck between 4 and 5, but I'd watch it again just for some of the funny moments, so I'm going with the latter.I still can't recommend it and look in someone's eye's while doing so, and I won't do it on-screen either.If you think Martin is hilarious, then rent or watch this knowing that you'll get those occasional, funny moments, and little else.48/100

Global_Marketing_Pros This fabulous ring that the Afro-Americans keep chasing originally from the African heritage British accented woman. What makes this ring so fabulous. Any detective would surely suppose that an absolutely fabulous ring of this character could only be worth it's weight in gold. Somewhat like the rates in Squirrel Hill of Pittsburgh P.A., I would hope not. Of course a detective from Boston with a flair for the arts and knowledge of canines would surely assess the value fairly. Just as he would probably assess Russian speaking women of extraordinary rude and EVIL character in Squirrel Hill of Pittsburgh P.A. as equally fair. Unless this all powerful ring is connected with duty, honor, and country then it may be invaluable.Perhaps this is similar to the ring of Giges that makes the proverbial screen written words termed pros' more lethal when this ring is turned up-side down and inside out "where nothing is beyond him" who wears this ring to guide him. He would live in a world beyond your world, anything he wants he takes. Maybe the capturing of this ring or use is similar to the character of actor John Travolta in movie Swordfish.Only a flamboyant Boston detective of the arts could fairly say and judge these aspects of film and at the same time color coordinate his socks, shirts, and tie so eloquently. Of course if Russians and persons of African heritage blow each other into millions of pieces over such a ring who would care. Not I.

madmatt-5 The best scene in this movie is when Devito is in Congress cussing his rear end off. I split my sides every time I've seen this movie. It's not gonna win an Academy award but its well worth watching.Martin Lawrence can be a bit over the top and some of the scenes in this movie are no exception, but he still has an entertaining way about him. Danny Devito is quite funny and his role in this is no exception. I just love the scene in congress. Laughing just thinking about it.I would love to see an actual Senator or Congressman break down like that, it would be a political death shot to any politician, but would be a godsend to all the late night TV shows like Leno and Letterman.

aussie-20 Very funny flick with likable thieves, wicked victims, and lots of smart silliness. A shady rich man catches a thief and the victim robs the burglar. Both men decide that the stolen ring is their own good luck charm, and a continuing vendetta brings on more robberies, cons and battles between DeVito and Lawrence. The romantic/sexy bits are light and keep the story moving along. Martin Lawrence and Carmen Ejogo are great together, and DeVito gets to carry on multiple affairs in divine comical studliness. The various cops, cohorts, lawyers, security consultants, psychic assistants, and the fence are all good fun, and the gay, dog-loving detective is just the cherry on top. The flavor of Donald Westlake's criminal farce comes shining through.
