In this movie Jamie Fox or "Michael Dawson" is on vacation with fiancee Rae or "Nia Long" in the middle of nowhere.Until Rae dumps him then, a teenager takes his car and is caught up in a hostage situation it's just a hilarious situation after another!!

if you wanna watch this over and over again I , dont...its better if you watch it once. this is about Foxx and his girlfriend leaves him and then he ends up being Held Up by some robbers who are so stupid. the cops come, or should I say uneducated cops come to teh scene. my favorite bit is where Foxx thinks he is grazed with a bullet and it turns out its a dorito chip(the part where the microwave explodes). Jake Busey and Michael Shamus Wiles(military man) add some spark as well.

This had to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of Jamie Foxx and Nia Long is a diva, so I figured I couldn't lose on this movie. Boy, was I wrong, the whole plot was stupid, not to mention Jamie wasn't funny. The only kicks I got out of it were laughing with my girl about how stupid we were for renting it and picking it apart. C'mon now, how many sistas do you know would get in a truck full of rednecks in the middle of nowhere?

What a terrible movie. Jamie you should be ashamed of yourself. I think you knew the script sucked but you did the movie anyway for the money. Lame awful script with unfunny jokes. There are shameless and embarrasing commercial plugs for name brand products through the whole movie. I guess the studio didn't want to sink all their money in this flop so they got endorsements. A waste of Jamie's and Nia's talent. The screenwriter should be banished to a remote island

I loved this movie. It was funny and loaded with some of the most interesting characters I've seen in a long time. Jamie Foxx is charming and charasmatic. And the rest of the cast are all very talented actors, especially Barry Corbin, who plays the sheriff of the town Jamie gets stuck in. This movie was cleaver and sweet all at the same time. A definate must see for the whole family.

This is a pretty silly movie. The idea of someone holding up a place at gunpoint, taking hostages, and the hostages eventually sympathizing and siding with the robber... well, it's been done before and much better. The talent of Nia Long is wasted in this movie. Most of her screen-time takes place at the very beginning and end of the film.

I gave this an extra star simply because Jamie Foxx has some funny moments in this. He's a major talent and really deserves to do better films than this. He's a great actor, both comic and dramatic.

The DVD features certainly don't make up for the poor quality of the film. Besides the film's trailer (and a few trailers for other Trimark films) the only feature is a four minute interview with Jamie Foxx.

was us. I bought this stupid movie years ago. And after I watched it I went to the pawn shop and got a 1.00 for it. This movie is the dumps. If you like Jamie Foxx watch his reruns of the Jamie foxx show not this turkey of a movie. You could be held up doing something you really want to do than watch this gosh awful movie.

This to me is a funny movie..great to watch on a rainy day and just relax...highly recommended to pick up...

JAMIE FOXX . . . has come a long way . . .

The more you see him the more you

realize Just how much he can handle . . .

My purchase was great, I received the item quickly and in great condition, and I would definitely buy from this seller again.
