Reviews for Serving Sara
Cedric the Entertainer is absolutely hilarious as a frustrated boss.
08/24/02
Too mucky and uneven to signify an out-and-out winner, but...charming when it wants to be and not nearly as bad as early word has suggested.
08/24/02
The film's original idea never gets fully exploited and is instead riddled with standard jokes and situations.
08/24/02
Bad direction, worse editing and a worthless script make it a forgettable diversion at best.
08/23/02
Don't waste your time with Serving Sara.
08/23/02
The movie starts off embarrassingly bad. Ten one-liners go by with not even a smirk from the audience.
08/23/02
The jokes are telegraphed so far in advance they must have been lost in the mail.
08/23/02
[Hell is] looking down at your watch and realizing Serving Sara isn't even halfway through.
08/23/02
Top CriticSurprisingly amusing.
08/23/02
Top CriticServing Sara is little more than a mall movie designed to kill time.
08/23/02
Top CriticLate summer is often the dumping ground for comedies that go flat or romances that fizzle. Sara is both.
08/23/02
Director Reginald Hudlin and screenwriters Jay Scherick and David Ronn never seem to have settled on a comic tone, with painfully uneven results.
08/23/02
The script is clever enough to give Perry a somewhat dignified role as a sarcastic, educated charmer down on his luck.
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
Serving Sara is fitfully funny but so threadbare in most respects that killing time is the only reason to see it.
08/23/02
Serving Sara is such a miserable excuse for a movie that the constant ringing of a cellphone at its preview screening served only to improve it.
08/23/02
Perry isn't the only thing wrong with Serving Sara, but he's the thing that takes a pleasantly mediocre movie and turns it into an unpleasantly mediocre one.
08/23/02
Top CriticServing Sara should be served an eviction notice at every theater stuck with it.
08/23/02
While Serving Sara does have a long way to go before it reaches the level of crudity in the latest Austin Powers extravaganza, there's nothing here to match that movie's intermittent moments of inspiration.
