Is this really a comedy, or a commentary on the South? It's kind of hard considering the seriousness the last act adopts, but overall, this film proved to be rather endearing. Its obvious the film was advertised poorly, simply because it should have earned more money at the box office. I've never liked Martin Lawrence, but some reason, his performance was really beside himself. Eddie Murphy also brought a lot to the table. Not the best of films, but one that had just enough of everything to keep me interested.
