Bad Boys (1995)

118 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

In many ways "Bad Boys" is stereotypical Michael Bay, it has a slim storyline and then lots of big action scenes, but it does have something else and that is the pairing of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. And it's a good job ...

Nothing to Lose (1997)

98 mins     Comedy      

There must be a name for it, I know I had it with some of Adam Sandler's movies and I know others have it with different movies to. What am I on about? I am on about movies when you first watched them they were hilarious but ...

Life (1999)

In "Life" Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence share the screen as they play an odd couple thrown in prison for life when they are wrong accused of a murder....

Blue Streak (1999)

93 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

What is your opinion of Martin Lawrence? My opinion is that he has always been in the shadow of Eddie Murphy, doing movies which have unfortunately caused comparison. That is the case of "Blue Streak" because whilst it has an...

Big Momma's House (2000)

98 mins     Comedy, Crime      

I sometimes feel for Martin Lawrence because it seems at times that those who have handled his career have tried to turn him into Eddie Murphy rather than letting him be his own man. He's done cop movies like Murphy, he's don...

National Security (2003)

88 mins     Action , Comedy      

"National Security" is an action comedy and being such has the same problems which dog many other action comedies. What do I mean well in between delivering some routine action and equally routine humour there isn't really a ...

Rebound (2005)

103 mins     Comedy, Family, Sport      

Sometimes I have to laugh, I read reviews of movies which obviously target a young audience being judged as if they were made for grown ups just because they star an actor who has impressed in grown up movies. One such movie ...

Big Momma's House 2 (2006)

99 mins     Action , Comedy      

"Big Momma's House 2" is the sort of movie which proves that film making has become less about entertainment and more about profit because whilst not the worst movie ever made it certainly isn't good. But then from the studio...

Open Season (2006)

83 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Here is the problem when it comes to animated movies such as "Open Season", they are made for children but often adults will end up watching them with their children. Now for children "Open Season" works with the visual comed...

Wild Hogs (2007)

Despite having read numerous, sometimes scathing reviews of "Wild Hogs" I still had a burning desire to watch it, and even though after watching it I tended to agree with a few of the negatives which have been levied against ...

College Road Trip (2008)

83 mins     Comedy      

First thing to know "College Road Trip" may sound like a title for some sort of teen sex comedy it most certainly isn't. Second thing to know, whilst the storyline may be about an over protective father having to deal with hi...

Death at a Funeral (2010)

92 mins     Comedy      

I don't remember when "Death at a Funeral" was announced but I bet it caused some moaning because why would anyone feel it necessary to remake not only a movie from 2007, just three years earlier, but a British movie at that....

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011)

107 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

I honestly believe that alongside the certificates that movies get there should also be an extra sort of notification as to who the movie is intended for. I say this because as whilst here in the UK "Big Mommas: Like Father, ...
