There's enough nice timing and character surprises to make it click at least half of the time. Jan 1, 2000

Everybody's timing seems off the beat, as if they're trying to get a handle on the script, which has more tone than jokes. Jan 1, 2000

Held Up is a real dud, with few laughs, no characterization, little story, a cluster of stereotypes and clichés and just plain nothing for Foxx to do. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: F | Full Review…
