If Samuel L. Jackson is going to insist on doing comedy he should stick to the dark kind like Pulp Fiction. As for Eugene Levy, he is not bad as the sidekick but he has done some vastly better comedies. If you want to watch a truly great comedy with Eugene Levy then skip this along with any of the American Pie sequels and rent, nay buy, the Christopher Guest (the genius behind This Is Spinal Tap) movies A Mighty Wind, Best in Show and Waiting For Guffman. In comparison, The Man falls embarrassingly short. A tired, run-of-the-mill script and plot that have been flogged to death by Hollywood. Stick to action, Samuel. Stick with Christopher, Eugene.

Two things I learnt from watching The Man last night, one is that Samuel L Jackson literally will do any film, regardless of how under written his role is. Does he even read scripts any more? You have to wonder when you see drek like this. Secondly I had it confirmed that film makers need to realise that a great supporting actor in comedies is not leading man potential. Eugene Levy, nice fella who tickled us pink as Jim's dad in Amercan Pie, simply isn't strong enough to carry a film, especially when his co-worker Samuel is bogged down by a meandering dull and unoriginal script {Piddock & Oberman you should be ashamed}. Luke Goss tries his best at villainy but Blade II seems a very long time ago now, whilst to under use Miguel Ferrer is tantamount to a treason of cinema.
Unimaginative dirge, 2/10 for sympathy.

For any fan of the main man, Samuel L. Jackson, you really can't go wrong. He is in typical form with the usually perfectly delivered lines. Hilarious film with a gritty edge.

Average buddy comedy
Average buddy comedy starring Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy. Jackson and Levy play off each other quite well and bring a few laughs, unique to each of the character's traits. Read more

Samuel Jackson's work rate at doing any and all movies is to be admired in not being afraid to try some new options. I find it hard to believe he just needs the money these days? Read more

Good comedys
Samuel Jackson plays a lot of roles and this is as good as it gets, Story line and picture worth watching something different and clean honest fun.
