(1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 4% Rotten Page   1   "While Jackson and Levy look very funny together, they are pigeonholed in roles requiring them to spend most of their time arguing and yelling at each other."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker D- "When the bathroom humor is the best part of your film, it's time to go back to the drawing board."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark D "“The Man’s” nebulous title indicates the sloppy nature of an “action comedy” movie that emits painfully little of either genre enticement."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 1/4 "It takes filmmakers of rare skill to make the reliable Eugene Levy unamusing and to reduce Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson to a series of angry poses."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger 2/4 "...watered-down and egregiously silly..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1/4 "The Man lacks charisma, comic verve, and a reason for existing."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D+ "I was thinking it was about a C- movie: unquestionably bad, but not aggressively or annoyingly so. Then Levy's character started farting."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "...scattered traces of bickering, bantering and belligerence without an ounce of constructive energy to make this sassy salt-n-pepper actioner a palatable diversion"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "One dull and anonymous movie...less like 'Midnight Run' or '48 Hrs.' than 'Pure Luck.'"   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Cop buddy comedies demand a framework for their antics, and that's where The Man stumbles."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/5 "As I was watching the movie, something strange happened... I started laughing."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2/5 "If it weren't for the running flatulence gag, the whole silly business might be mistaken for slight, clean, fast-moving fun."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh F "The Man is a stale mismatched buddy comedy in which not a single interesting thing happens."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[A]n unholy stew of gastrointestinal distress, ethnic stereotypes, and gloopy sentiment..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1/5 "There's nothing here you haven't seen elsewhere."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 2.5/4 "The often-funny chemistry between Jackson and Levy makes it worth a look, but you’d probably be happier paying to see it on video."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "As generic as its title, this drearily predictable and tushie-obsessed buddy cop movie wastes more talent in less time than straight-to-video releases."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow .5/4 "Like the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Showtime and Taxi seemingly haunt every shot of Les Mayfield's shrill white cop/black cop buddy movie."   Slant Magazine   Paul Schrodt 0.5/5 "I haven't seen such meaningful insight into the nature of human cooperation since this morning's Sesame Street."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 2.5/5 "content to be insanely stupid but sporadically funny"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 3/10 "This tedious throwaway is a waste of time and talent."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2/4 "The Man basically flatlines whenever Levy's off screen, becoming the most disposable buddy comedy in years."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 1/5 Read review   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski  (1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 4% Rotten Page   1
