Slipshod storytelling, junior high-level acting and direction that resembles Aunt Gertrude's home movies.
Top CriticA waste of time.
Just rambles around loudly, making little sense, before winding to a close.
The senseless chases and unexplained affairs and alliances ... wear on the patience of the audience.
A fairly dreadful comedy.
Personally, I found it in the same league as Clerks, and people call Kevin Smith a genius.
It's not exactly what I'd call brilliant filmmaking, but it is heads above anything any of the Wayans brood have done in a long time.
An utter waste of time.
This is the type of movie that, if you manage to get in for free, you still want your money back.
You could get as many laughs staying home and listening to a dial tone for 90 minutes.
