Provides a nifty 90-minute escape and more than a few yuks.

Much of Lawrence's verbal humor is more miss than hit, with the misses certain to come off as juvenile to the uninitiated.

Assembled with style.

The blatant disregard for reality might have been excusable if any of the execution was actually funny.
01/01/00
Entertaining and never sluggish.

Blue Streak, loaded with fast-paced, car-chase scenes, is no model of subtle or especially witty dialogue but Lawrence brings in the howls whenever he pulls off one of his many impersonations.

Most of the film is just Mr. Lawrence goofing around.

As an action comedy, Blue Streak offers little freshness on either front.
01/01/00
Still, the movie is pretty bad. It’s Rush Hour meets 48 Hours meets Bad Boys except this time around there’s only one bad boy and the script and direction are subpar.
01/01/00
A comedy without the laughs, and an action film with a non-existent level of excitement, Blue Streak is an obvious and misguided effort.
01/01/00
For all of his comedic efforts, though, Lawrence can't make this cubic zirconia into the jewel it wants to be.
01/01/00
Martin Lawrence at his most shrill in one of the laziest movies ever made.
