The Man (2005)

The Man is a below average comedy movie with a predictable storyline with two good main cast members that don't end up doing well because of a huge lack of chemistry.There definitely were a few funny moments in this movie,but definitely not enough to make this a comedy I could watch again.I really like Samuel L Jackson,and he is definitely the best part of this movie,his character didn't bother me but Eugene Levys character had just as much, if not more, screen time,and his character was very irritating which would be the main part this movie was not very enjoyable.If your looking for a fun comedy for a laugh all the way through,the Man should definitely be avoided.A tough undercover cop uses an innocent salesman in his bid to expose an international arms dealer

This movie was very funny. I'm glad I didn't see the low rating on IMDb until after I had rented it. The movie continues to be funny from beginning to end. Ignore the reviews on here if you are looking to be entertained and have a good laugh! Eugene levy is very funny in this. Samuel L Jackson is great as usual. Definitely worth watching! I recognized Luke Goss from my younger days when he and his twin brother were in the pop duo Bros. Funny! Great movie for this genre. Reminded me of The In- Laws also. There is not too much violence which is good. It's lighthearted overall. Worth watching for sure. I think possibly the reason a movie like this gets a low rating is because there are too many critics out there. If a movie like this is entertaining that's all it needs to be I think.

Two things I learnt from watching The Man last night, one is that Samuel L Jackson literally will do any film, regardless of how under written his role is. Does he even read scripts any more? You have to wonder when you see drek like this. Secondly I had it confirmed that film makers need to realise that a great supporting actor in comedies is not leading man potential. Eugene Levy, nice fella who tickled us pink as Jim's dad in Amercan Pie, simply isn't strong enough to carry a film, especially when his co-worker Samuel is bogged down by a meandering dull and unoriginal script {Piddock & Oberman you should be ashamed}. Luke Goss tries his best at villainy but Blade II seems a very long time ago now, whilst to under use Miguel Ferrer is tantamount to a treason of cinema.Unimaginative dirge, 2/10 for sympathy.

This movie was mildly humorous. Samuel Jackson and Eugene Levy tried, but I think this movie was doomed from the start. Samuel Jackson is not all that funny to begin with. He is at his best and funniest when he is in an action or suspense film and he's providing the comedy relief. To put him in a comedy outright is not his forte. Eugene Levy is a funny person, but his comedy hinges upon him being a supporting actor. I'm not talking about supporting actor as in second lead, but as in 3rd, 4th, or 5th string actor. Eugene Levy is good in small doses.I can see how the producers would think that Jackson and Levy would make a good duet and it was a novel effort. Now, they should just learn from their mistake and move on. Jackson and Levy just never hit it off on screen, and it was a good lesson for everyone that they should stick to the roles they are most familiar with.
