Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The Man is a below average comedy movie with a predictable storyline with two good main cast members that don't end up doing well because of a huge lack of chemistry.There definitely were a few funny moments in this movie,but definitely not enough to make this a comedy I could watch again.I really like Samuel L Jackson,and he is definitely the best part of this movie,his character didn't bother me but Eugene Levys character had just as much, if not more, screen time,and his character was very irritating which would be the main part this movie was not very enjoyable.If your looking for a fun comedy for a laugh all the way through,the Man should definitely be avoided.A tough undercover cop uses an innocent salesman in his bid to expose an international arms dealer

Two things I learnt from watching The Man last night, one is that Samuel L Jackson literally will do any film, regardless of how under written his role is. Does he even read scripts any more? You have to wonder when you see drek like this. Secondly I had it confirmed that film makers need to realise that a great supporting actor in comedies is not leading man potential. Eugene Levy, nice fella who tickled us pink as Jim's dad in Amercan Pie, simply isn't strong enough to carry a film, especially when his co-worker Samuel is bogged down by a meandering dull and unoriginal script {Piddock & Oberman you should be ashamed}. Luke Goss tries his best at villainy but Blade II seems a very long time ago now, whilst to under use Miguel Ferrer is tantamount to a treason of cinema.Unimaginative dirge, 2/10 for sympathy.

Sort of like "Midnight Run" but not nearly as good. Thanks to very good casting of Jackson and Levy, however, it is an amiable enough action comedy. No major laughs but quite watchable. Mediocre casting of these two roles would have sunk this movie beyond help, because the script doesn't have that much going for it.However, casting Ferrer and Goss was a total blunder. Miguel is one of thousands of nepotists working in Hollywood, i.e. a talentless man, totally lacking in any charisma. His Daddy is Jose Ferrer, the actor, and his mother the terrible singer Rosemary Clooney. Yes, that makes Miguel the cousin of George Clooney, another bad nepotist actor, and as of recently world saviour and liberal doo-goodering flag-waver. ("I know how to solve the Darfur crisis, for I am George from the movies...") George is Rosemary Clooney's nephew and son of broadcast journalist Nick Clooney. It's all in the (Hollywood) family...Goss plays a bad-a** criminal, which is preposterous casting. The effeminate features combined with those teeth as white as a polar bear's behind might remind you of someone... Goss? Does anyone remember that girl group, Bros, from the 80s? Actually, to be fair it was a boy-band, but everyone I know, including me, thought they were girls when they first saw their one-hit-wondering video and heard the high-pitched whining that was supposed to be singing. (It was just Goss experiencing the pains of losing a particular brand of virginity-losing.) When Jackson said that Levy was "his bitch", he must have confused him with Goss's character... "When will I, will I be fa-mouuuuuus?"; so goes the little pop ditty Goss sang (or rather, squeaked) for the screaming teeny-boppers. Well, the answer to that is: you will be famous again when you make more movies. You just need to convince more producers that you are star material. The world needs more female-looking movie heroes/baddies; we just haven't got enough already!So what does Goss's casting in an action comedy bode for the future? Does this mean Justin(e) Timberlake will be play a heavy in 10 years, chasing the likes of De Niro through the streets of Brooklyn? Most probably. Maybe Joey Fat-One from N'Synch will play an ex-marine in a PC drama by Reiner. Or maybe even... No, there is no "even". That's as bad as it can get, and will get.Hollywood, goodbye! It's been a fun 100 years, but now you're dead. I guess I'll have to watch Japanese movies from now on; at least they make SOME effort...If you want to see my extensive Hollywood Nepotism List, contact me by e-mail.

I sat down in front of my TV and turned to HBO and "The Man" happened to be starting at that moment. I needed two hours to pass, so I watched it.I was pleasantly surprised. The idea to put Eugene Levy and Sam Jackson in a movie together was a clever one. They bounce off each other perfectly. The jokes in the movie range from farting humor to Eugene Levy explaining that the human bite is very painful (which I found funny). I found the film to be above average funny.The film's humor and suspense are abundant enough to keep you watching the whole 83 minutes. It is definitely a great movie to watch just to burn time.7/10.
