Not since the birth of Paris Hilton has such an unholy atrocity as this movie been unleashed on the world. Seeing as I don't have enough PTO to list what's wrong with this movie I'll list what's right: absolutely nothing. If someone you know puts this on, gouge your eyes out and smear the blood on the tv screen to prevent others from being subjected to it.

I happened to be passing through the channels on cable and came across this movie and saw Anthony and decided to watch. All I can say is Thank Goodness I saw this on cable. It had a few funny scenes like when Anthony was bossy to Jay, but most of the movie didn't make any sense. I mean what are the odds of 3 people thinking of kidnapping somebody on the same night, especially since one of the culprits was himself. Too farfetched and not funny enough to be given more than 2 stars. Sorry Anthony.

This is one of the worst movies I've seen. It's supposed to be a comedy but this movie was sooooooooo stupid it wasn't even funny. It's basically about a rich guy who has his own company, I think it's called King Enterprises. Almost everyone thinks he's arrogant and three female employees plan to kidnap him which I thought was so stupid. Then the rich guy (played by Anthony Anderson) and his wife are going through a divorce. So to prevent her from getting all his assets and money he plans his own kidnapping not knowing that his soon to be ex-wife plans to kidnap him as well.

I literally had to force myself to watch this movie. It was so dumb it hardly kept my interest. The way the movie was produced it seemed like a retarded person wrote and directed the movie. The overall concept of the movie didn't make sense at all. I was surprised at this movie. It had an all-star cast but this film totally bombed. If you like black comedies I definately don't recommed that you see this movie.

This movie was just horrible. As I was watching it I expected it to get better but it just got worse. As I said AVOID THIS MOVIE, it is a complete waste of time.
