Silly and unfunny remake of a French movie of the same name.

I expected this to be much funnier: Latifah coasts on her charm, and Fallon seems incapable of playing an actual character.

What made the French original an enjoyable film was its extreme action sequences and political incorrect dialogue. By washing all of that away, this American remake simply has nothing whatsoever to offer.

Funny, my favorite scene is when Jimmy F. & Queen Latifah get "high" off of nitrous oxide ( laughing gas). Jimmy tries to pull the door and he thinks it's locked, & Queen opens the door and say "U stupid." I love my girl … and that fine ass Henry😘

Of course, it's a remsle of the French version, of which has 4 sequels. Americans can hardly think of anything original, and fck up the original story. French films are great because they waste so little energy. That's why they are so good. This film sucks in comparison.
