be a long time steve martin fan and it hurt to see him in a movie with such a cliched script . the screenwriter must have just rent some video and take a piece here and a piece there it certainly be about the least imaginative movie i have see in a long time i know exactly what be go to happen in each scene as soon a it begin . the african american stereotype and slave reference be pretty offensive a well . but the thing that be the bad for me be to see martin in a movie without a trace of wit . he probably be one of the most intelligent actor and here he totally sell out to a totally dumbed down script . he must be behind in his alimony to be in such a lame effort .
