Top CriticUnimaginative.
01/01/00
Top CriticMost of the film is just Mr. Lawrence goofing around.
01/01/00
Top CriticA lifeless farce!
01/01/00
Top CriticApart from Lawrence's goofing, Blue Streak isn't much of a movie and its formula of stunts, anti-authority humor and a chase-and-crash finale is predictable enough to be depressing.
01/01/00
Top CriticLawrence has become involved in a film that makes us acutely embarrassed for him.
01/01/00
Top CriticBlue Streak falls victim to bad cliches.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe contortional physical shtick familiar from Lawrence's sitcom, laden with a dollop of Three Stooges violence, should keep the boys happy.
01/01/00
Top CriticProvides a nifty 90-minute escape and more than a few yuks.
01/01/00
Top CriticAs an action comedy, Blue Streak offers little freshness on either front.
01/01/00
Top CriticA formula picture that never rises above the generic but entertains nevertheless.
01/01/00
Top CriticBlue Streak suffers from an identity crisis.
01/01/00
Top CriticLawrence seems trapped in his jug-eared, slightly clownish nervousness, like a sidekick suddenly shoved into the spotlight.
01/01/00
Top CriticA pooped, poorly executed buddy-cop comedy with more cliches than expletives.
01/01/00
Top CriticIn the wake of a summer of capers and cons, Blue Streak arrives as a dull afterthought and a sorry vehicle for the comic expression of Martin Lawrence.
01/01/00
Top CriticAssembled with style.
01/01/00
Top CriticStill, 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.
