Sluggishly paced and too seldom funny...

Time Out

The script lacks wit and depth, while Lawrence's direction is meandering and undramatic, full of showy, over-elaborate camera movements.

Tiresome stuff, bearable only if you can overlook the questionable premise and find something to like in Lawrence's Eddie Murphy-lite turn.

instant Classic, a Beyond Authentic Portrayal of being a Womanizing PlayBoy in South Central Los Angeles California in the 90's, and the Harsh Consequences of it . . . The Movie 🎥 Teaches Us that even tho (Love and Hate) SEEM like Polar Opposites, they're Actually Closer than we Think 🤔because Sometimes the People we Love 💕 can Do Thing's to Make us HATE 😡 them

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

An all time Classic Dramedy. A staple of the 90s. Martin Lawrence at his best in this coming of age spin on Fatal Attraction. One of my absolute favorites that never fails to entertain. "Here I come world! Here I come!", Hilarious!

I'd have given it 5 stars but the pink eye / sty / swollen eyelid thing Martin has just throws me off a lot.

I love this movie!!! I hate when someone tells you to leave them alone and you still try to pursue them and treat them badly!!! When that is the situation, nothing good will ever come out of it!!!

Very uneven film. Bad writing, poor performances, and a movie that just never comes together.
