Jamie Foxx is funny is this bad movie, 25 October 2008
5/10
Author: (butchfilms@hotmail.com) from Peru

There is no discussion that "held up" is a bad movie, the only reason to watch it is because of Jamie Foxx who is very funny even in the worst comedy movies.

The plot of the movie is about a couple Jamie Foxx and Nia Long who are traveling in their new car until they get to a store and they begin to discuss and she leaves to the airport without him in another car, from there Jamie Foxx will have real problems when his car is stolen and the store where he is at is robbed too.

I would recommend to watch "held up" only if you are a fan of Jamie Foxx.
