im gonna pass.
actually it wasnt as bad as i thought. i saw it as a special screening (free!) and Chris was there talking about making the movie (he also directed and wrote) and how especially important it was for people to see it so it will stay in the theatre, because "we" need more positive films (comedies he meant) about "us." that we didnt always have to be the loud talking, head bobbing with attitude over the top funny like Head of State. pretty much he said he was tired of doing those kind of movies and that the only comedy he's doing is his stand-up.

plus the movie is loosely based on an old french movie, i think its called "christine in the afternoon?" so he wanted more of a drama storyline.

would i watch it again? nah... would i buy it on DVD? nah not collection worthy. but it was different for hom

I thought it was good. It's just shows how much trouble a man can get in if he's not faithful to his wife.

My hubby and I watched it on Friday. It was OK and something you can take your kids to see with a plot. Besides I was supporting a AA movie,also.

My husband and I saw it a couple of weeks ago. It was okay at best. I thought some points of the movie were funny. It was a little unrealistic to me though.

I didn't think I'd like it from the commercials, but I did. It was hilarious in parts and stupid in others. I don't like Chris Rock, but I gave it a chance....I think by having low expectations, instead of being disappointed, I was pleasantly surprised.

But when a couple of white girls sat next to me, I very discreetly moved up next to a black family the row above me. They looked surprised to see me move right when the opening credits started, but when I quietly explained that I didn't think I could properly enjoy this particular movie sitting next to two white girls, they welcomed me to the row.

HC you didn't want the white girls sitting next to you? Were they hushing you because you were being annoying (i.e. talking at the screen) or something? LOL
