Blue Streak

Pros: comedy, Lawrence, Wilson
Cons: portrayal of cops, very unrealistic

When I first saw this movie in the theaters a few years ago, I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't a fan of Lawrence's at the time because I hadn't seen a lot of his movies. But it was my cousin's turn to pick the movie and my aunt and I knew we were in...

Pros: An easy film to hate.
Cons: A plot riddled with holes, and a lead actor in Lawrence without any charisma whatsoever.

Eddie Murphy and Will Smith have a lot to answer for. After making a career out of playing perpetually jiving, wise-cracking, authority-defying, rule flouncing, street wise, black ’homeboys’, it was inevitable that their success would bring with...

Pros: Nice stuntwork
Cons: Awful script

It is time once again to open Poseidon’s Third World Revised Dictionary – 3rd Edition and look up the term “comedy.” If we turn to page 271, we can find the definition:

Comedy -- n. (cah-meh’-dee) A television show or movie that...

Pros: Can't think of one.
Cons: It's short.

Once in a while, a movie just makes you MAD! For me, it's stuff like Sphere, The Haunting and now Blue Streak. Its true awfulness is limited only by it's scant running time. Whether you love or hate Martin Lawrence, this movie is a true pile of GARBAGE....

Pros: Luke Wilson
Cons: Poor attempt at making a good movie

"You're a dead man, you piece of sh*t".

With a movie that opens with dialogue like that, and non-too charasmatic characters to boot, can "Blue Streak" stand a chance at making me laugh?

The Plot

...

Pros: HYSTERICAL!!!!! Martin Lawrence amazes me <sigh>
Cons: None

My husband went to Blockbuster last night and came home with this movie. I knew I would like it because Martin Lawrence was in it! He never fails to make me laugh hysterically until tears are running out of my eyes!

Martin Lawrence plays a...

Pros: None
Cons: No plot, and not really funny

I caught this movie on cable the other night. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I was too lazy to change the channel. Any ways I ended up watching the whole thing, that'll teach me. Since then I've been trying to come up with something positive about...

Pros: Great comic writing, a solid cast
Cons: Been there, done that

THE PLOT Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief who tries to pull the heist of his career. When things go wrong and the police are hot on his tail, he stashes his stolen diamond in an air duct of a building that's under construction. As soon ...

Pros: Martin Lawerence gives a fantastic comedic performance
Cons: Weak Script and Plot Holes

When "Blue Streak" came out in theaters last year, I had absolutely no interest to see it. It looked...well pretty stupid. But I'm willing to even give stupid movies a chance on video, so I rented it not expecting mindless crap. Well it is...

Pros: a million laughs
Cons: it gets hard to breathe after laughing so much

I was told to rent this particular movie if I wanted to laugh so hard I would cry. Well, bring on the kleenex!

The beginning was action packed and it never really slowed down to anything other than a brisk walk throughout the whole movie....

Pros: Martin Lawrence
Cons: um...none that I saw!

Ok so I was unable to think of a title witty enough for this
movie, but that's ok because I wouldn't want to take away
from the movie anyway.

I love Martin Lawrence, he makes me laugh, often to the point
of tears streaming down...

Pros: Very Funny.....Laughed till the cows came home
Cons: Not very realistic.......highly unlikely situations.

I was told that Blue Streak was the movie to see if you wanted to laugh your sit-down off.......and they weren't kidding. Martin Lawrence is positively hilarious in this wacky tale. But---it's highly unrealistic. Your gonna have to turn the juice down...

Pros: Fun ride with enjoyable actors
Cons: The script is somewhat implausible...remember, this movie IS NOT BASED ON A TRUE STORY

When I originally saw this movie on the rack at the video store, I misread the title and thought it was a remake of the Richard Pryor/Gene Wilder movie Silver Streak. Obviously, the age has started to set in. This movie has no relation to Silver...

Pros: Dave Chappelle
Cons: Martin Lawrence's acting, or lack thereof and the music

First, let me say that I am no fan of Martin Lawrence. And this film just reinforced my opinion of him.

The basic storyline is that Lawrence, a jewel thief, hides a huge diamond in a building under construction before he's sent to prison....

Pros: hilarious
Cons: none

Martin Lawrence is one of my all time favorite comedians...only second to Richard Pryor. As always his humor is outstanding. And in this movie he proves his comedic abilities again in this extremely funny action adventure/comedy about a thief, who,...
