Review of The Man

The Man (2005)
3/10
Give it a miss
10 September 2005
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.
