Buddy action comedy that feels more like a chore to watch. Mostly because of Martin Lawrence's grating performance. Granted, I think his character is supposed to be obnoxious and unlikable in-universe. But it worked too well. Steve Zahn is not too bad in this. There are a lot of stunts and car chases in this yet it looks pretty cheap even for the early 2000s.

Martin Lawrence is crazy in this, as with most of his movies. Def. recommend.

"What the problem is" -- the movie is barely funny

"Earl Montgomery" (Martin Lawrence) accuses LAPD officer "Hank Rafferty" (Steve Zahn) of police brutality. Even though his alleged injuries actually resulted in a bee sting.
"Rafferty" spends six months for the crime he did not commit and accidentally bumps into "Montgomery" while investigating the murder of his partner -- even though he has been kicked off the force. And to make things worse, he works as a security guard for the same security company as "Montgomery".
The two reluctantly team-up to chase what turns out to be smugglers, lead by a man simply known as "Kane" (Eric Roberts).
This movie only produces a few chuckles, and even fewer laughs. The majority of the jokes are racially motivated, and may be offensive by some. I found the physical humor more funny in fact. …
