This recent stand-up movie of his was expectedly as piss-poor as his previous, i.e. "You So Crazy".

Martin Lawrence is easily one of the most annoying personalities to be recorded on film. Not only is he a lowsy actor to begin with, he's incredibly irritating to watch. His stand-up act is simply unbearable because it's nothing but Martin Lawrence and his embarassing way of talking. He overdoes everything. Every gesture, every word, is overly-black! He thinks he can be funny by acting black and talking black, almost as if he equates "blakness" with humor. (Chris Rock gets away with this because his content is actually funny to begin with.)

For God's sake, THE GUY IS NOT FUNNY!!!! I didn't even crack a smile once during the nearly two-hours of his agonizingly stupid, unwitty stand-up routine.

This movie was somewhat entertaining for about 70% of the time. During that 70%, however, there were a few scenes which blew me outta my socks; One of those scenes is when Charlie first becomes Hank. The grocery store checkout aisle and the VagiClean price check, dunking the girl in the fountain, the breast, the milk mustache, "parking" the car through the barber shop window and the ticket for a headlight out....only the way Jim Carey could execute this scene! I nearly lost my breath from laughing so hard. I was coughing, tearing at the eyes, slapping my knees, falling sideways. It was too much to laugh at all at once! I've never laughed so hard in a movie (this was much funnier than the magnifying glass seen in "Antz".) Even a week later, that scene would pop up in my head during class and I'd have to fight to keep the chuckling to myself. That's not the only such scene in this movie.

This is just one of those stupid movies you have to shut down your brain for before watching, and just sit back and enjoy the sheer stupidity of its meaningless slapstick comedy. If you're looking for wit or meaning of any kind, you'll enjoy this movie the same way you'd enjoy riding a roller coaster for a slow, scenic Sunday drive. Jim Carrey, once again, does a spectacular job at making his character(s) work. Renee Zellweger is a perfect level-headed opposite to Carey's character, and the music (Cake?) just perfects the comedy.

Yes, there were some slow scenes, but overall, I got off my sofa feeling a hefty dose of the therapeutic benefits of several good, hard laughs.

This was a God-awful movie. I can't believe I wasted money to watch that nonsense! The story was lame, and the action was even lamer. So this nobody finds out that he can bench press more than he expected, and that he's not such a wimp. And he meets some some black dude with an afro who is his opposite. WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS MOVIE ABOUT??? Seriously!
