Cedric the Entertainer is absolutely hilarious as a frustrated boss.

Reviews for Serving Sara
There's still something vaguely enjoyable about the film, as there has been with most of Matthew Perry's movies.
10/02/02
It can only be recommended as a very mild rental...ya know, one of those that you pick up because you've already seen everything else.
08/23/02
Surprisingly amusing.
08/23/02
Top CriticThe script is clever enough to give Perry a somewhat dignified role as a sarcastic, educated charmer down on his luck.
08/23/02
Quick-paced though it may be, Sara just doesn’t serve it up fast enough.
08/31/02
It's probably unfair to say you'll feel just as violated if you waste $10 on this, but serving time with this bomb comes pretty darn close.
08/23/02
A movie without a redeeming feature: a black hole where laughter goes to die.
08/26/02
Here's a stretch: Elizabeth Hurley is a sexy English girl and Matthew Perry is Chandler in this senseless, surprisingly unfunny comedy.

'...One drawn-out, painful chase, with a few slugs, love smacks and prostate jokes.'
09/03/02
I don't know what they're Serving Sara, but I'm sending it back to the kitchen.

Top CriticServing Sara is the kind of movie that should premiere on an airplane--it's lame but watchable, and you could read a magazine during it and still follow the plot.
08/22/02
Serving Sara should be subpoenaed for promoting itself as a film with laughs in it.
08/25/02
One good thing: Serving Sara is a summer movie. And summer is almost over. The movie will quickly fade and be forgotten.
08/23/02
Serving Sara doesn't serve up a whole lot of laughs.
08/23/02
With the exception of some fleetingly amusing improvisations by Cedric the Entertainer as Perry's boss, there isn't a redeeming moment here.
08/23/02
Crass and joyless.
01/03/07
Top CriticLate summer is often the dumping ground for comedies that go flat or romances that fizzle. Sara is both.
08/23/02
Serving Sara is downright terrible: impossible to enjoy, impossible to believe.
08/23/02
A string of rehashed sight gags based in insipid vulgarity.
