A bit silly, but the good kind of silly, with enough credibility to make it believable. Most of all it is FUN and that is all I needed.
It's the "let's laugh at other people's misery" kind of fun, because Tim Robbin's wife has an affair and right after discovering that he gets mugged by Martin Lawrence. Things go way out of control after these 2 characters butt heads, with lots of great race and class struggle jokes.
The good: great chemistry between Tim Robbins (serious) and Martin Lawrence (silly). Good jokes and good timing of the jokes as well. Spot on.
Any bad? It's quite a bit silly, but it's still serious enough though to be an enjoyable comedy for the entire family, from young to old, everybody could enjoy it.
Seen it several times over the past decades now and the jokes and the characters still stand strong...
