Wow, what can I say about this one? My friend rented it the other night and I was skeptical to say the least. I mean, this is the same guy known for renting such gems as "Escape From LA" and "Daylight" on the same night. But Martin Lawrence's range with physical comedy, matched by Quarles' rousing and entertaining script made me into a believer real quick. All I can honestly say about this film is, when Martin Lawrence falls into the fake moat at Kingdom World (or whatever) and is transported into the medieval era - I sort of felt like I was being transported also. Magical filmaking that only the creator of "Empty Nest" could bring you. Did I mention that Martin Lawrence is very funny in this one? He carries the show with many cool one liners and hip, gangsta-like references. In fact, if I were walking down a dark alley one of the last people I'd want to meet would be Martin Lawrence. His is gangsta-supa-fly flava that oozes out onto the big screen. He is super cocky-cool. Jimbo, werd up, your rousing approval written on July 1st, 2002 is dead on. If I was expecting Citizen Kane, I should have rented it. For a slapstick/goofy/dumb/idiotic/spineless/horrendous/dumb/gangsta-flava comedy I give it an 11/10!
