An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but I since I have a weak spot for Jamie Foxx, I thought I might as well give it a try. I have to confess that, even though the poster looked terribly lame, I though that Nia Long looked quite stunning on this poster (I know it sounds a little bit weird but anyway...). However, even though she was therefore displayed prominently on all the promotional material, it was quite disappointing that she was basically dropped within the first 10 minutes. Anyway, even with her, I don't think it would have been much better. Indeed, it is basically a rather boring comedy taking place in one single location with a bunch of tedious characters. Sometimes, it was almost a comedic version of 'Dog Day Afternoon' but this attempt was rather pitiful. Concerning Jamie Foxx, it is difficult to believe that the guy would eventually win an Oscar 5 years later for 'Ray'. I mean, it's not that he was really bad, it's just that the whole thing was just meaningless and a big waste of time. Anyway, to conclude, I have seen worse but it was still a very weak comedy and I don't think it is worth a look, even if you are fan of Jamie Foxx.
