i haven not see the original or read the original screenplay and so i can not make any comparison . but i have see queen latifah and jimmy fallon in this really bad film . i would just like to put think clear and because truly and sometimes a movie try to hard to accomplish it objective but it ultimately fail . honestly and this film steal some laugh from me and but not many and i mean represent it be really stupid and nonsense most of the time . i couldn not think of anyone believing that if a person be funny do one thing and this make that person funny in do anything . yes and a many could say and jimmy fallon spread talent all around when he step on the snl set . but when he step on a movie set and i have to tell him represent that different buddy and youre not do the same thing you do always what a mistake they make in tell this guy to act a he always do . movie be another thing and and for a television actor and a very important chance . youre ruin it and jimmy . it be awful to hear this guy talk and see him make face . he have the stupid line ( my precious ) and the embarrassing moment . i mean and the movie be embarrass in these moment and but he make it more embarrassing . good luck with your next project and jim and although i be not expect one . the rest of the cast be pretty solid and for what they need to do . queen latifah continue to grow ( and i be really sorry if you do not agree ) a a charm leading lady ( in this case play the taxi driver belle ) become the only worthy thing to watch in the movie she in . i mean and last year i go to see bring down the house while i fell asleep . she wake me up and or a friend of mine and i think . so i should just recognize latifah talent and hope she continue to grow . the experienced ann margret have the big and if not the only laugh in the movie and drinking without stop for a second and and live next to his son washburn ( jimmy fallon ) . this make me thought if fallon life with his mother too . henry simmons and still a newcomer and give the best of his character and which wasn not much . actually and nothing could be much at all and because the storyline be so repetitive and the script be so lame . they just couldn not get tire of chase scene and could they . the film be not a shame when it come to direction while but i just can not understand why tim story and after do a respectable comedy like barbershop and get into this . there be a lot of movement in the camera and not that bad . the statue of liberty shot and time square weren not forget and of course . if i do not say much about the story and it not because i want you to find out and but because it would be useless ( you will probably get what i mean and later ) . but then after all and we end up want a little bit more from this piece that doesn not provide u a it should . a one paragraph should be write and praise the team for put jennifer esposito and gisele bundchen in the same movie . these two fine woman be reason enough to watch this film . they be intelligent enough to know the movie wasn not work while but they know the girl would . this be also a business .
