Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Just perfect...

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This is (in my opinion) Martin Lawrence's best movie. Many say that it isn't very good, and the first time I watched it I would have said the same thing. I originally purchased it for the actors, not knowing how good it was. I was actually rather disappointed in it at first but I watched again because I didn't want my money to be a complete waste. The second time I saw it (and don't ask me why) but I found it much more enjoyable. By the time I had watched it for about my six viewing it had become one of my favorite comedies, and definitely my favorite Martin Lawrence or Danny Devito film. I have also suggested this show to my friend, and just like me they didn't like it at first. But now they are loving and quoting it so I know it is not just me.So, if you want a film to watch over and over again, get this one. But if you only want to see it once I don't think you should bother with it.

If the box office rest of summer ends up as good as this movie was, movie fans will be in for a real treat. Martin Lawrence returns to the big screen with his hilarious brand of humor as he teams with Danny DeVito in "What's The Worst That Can Happen?""What's The Worst That Can Happen?" revolves around a would-be burglar named Kevin Caffrey, played by Lawrence, is caught in the act by the home owner, billionaire Max Fairbanks, played by DeVito. The tables are turned when Fairbanks steals Caffrey's ring given to him by his girlfriend. The rest of the film circles around getting the ring back. From this moment on, I knew I was going to be watching one funny film.Joining Lawrence and DeVito is John Leguizamo as Kevin's partner in crime, Burger, Carmen Ejogo as Kevin's girlfriend Amber and Bernie Mac as Kevin's uncle. The addition of these actors is evidence that "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" is a sure hit with all ages.Lawrence wears two hats in "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" as producer and star and he has success in both capacities.

There is not a lot to say about DeVito because his lengthy and steady body of work speaks for him. With so many great films under his belt, I knew I was going to be watching a true master at work. In addition to credibility, DeVito has presence and humor in that made me smile from ear to ear and start to finish. He is solid comedic genius that brings a great amount of comedy and presence that will leave everyone smiling.Leguizamo has a true niche for comedy as he proves in "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" I wasn't sure how to gage Leguizamo because I have only seen one other film with him, so I was surprised to learn he was one of funniest and talented actors in the movie. The chemistry between Lawrence and Leguizamo was perfect because they seemed to work so well together. Leguizamo was a great compliment to Lawrence and his brand of humor. I enjoyed every minute they shared the screen because I knew I was going to laugh.Ejogo was a true pleasure to watch because she brought excitement and charisma to the movie. I relished each scene she was in because I got the opportunity to see a true natural at work. Mac was a true surprise because I didn't expect him to turn in a good performance. Ejogo joins a handful of actresses that includes Monica Potter, Kate Beckinsale and James King, who are on my list of nominees for the prestigious honor of being called best newcomers of the year.

Generally speaking, I agree with the masses on the IMDb but in this case I must protest. This movie deserves a much higher rating than a 5. I would personally give it a 7. After viewing several mundane comedies, I found "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" to be refreshing. A quick summary of the plot: Kevin Caffrey (Martin Lawrence) attempts to burglarize billionaire Max Fairbanks' (Danny Divito) home. Max turns out to be in the house and holds Kevin at gunpoint until the police arrive. He then tells the cops that the ring on Kevin's hand belongs to him and the cops force Kevin to cough it up. The problem is that Kevin's new girlfriend had just given it to him. The rest of the movie deals with Kevin trying to get the ring back. Danny DeVito is hilarious and this is my favorite Martin Lawrence movie yet.The plot is original and I thought the supporting actors were great. I would have given William Fichtner a bit more of a roll. He really had little to do with the plot yet I found his portrayal of gay Detective Alex Tardio to be one of the funniest parts of the movie. I read the book and will admit that the book's ending is a bit more satisfying but not a major issue. I have never seen a group of criminals and scoundrels more likable than the group in the movie. Everyone in the movie; the thief, the rich guy, the politicians, the judges and everyone in the periphery seems to be morally depraved. I guess that is what makes this movie so funny. If you enjoyed "Blue Streak" then you're going to love "What's the Worst That Could Happen?".

It took a while for Martin Lawrence's style to grow on me. The first few movies I saw him starring in left me kinda blah.However, either he's grown on me, or his talents have evolved/matured over the years. I'm not sure which.This movie, starring Glenne Headley (Sgt. Bilko, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Danny Divitto, Martin Lawrence and Carmen Ejogo, is highly entertaining. The plot moves along at a nice, crisp pace; the acting is finely portrayed and the characters are well developed enough to make you have a feeling of knowing them.William Fichtner, Phil Dearly of "Drowning Mona," is wonderful as Detective Alex Tardio. Although his character is stereo-typical as a flamboyant, obviously gay detective who has a past history with Kevin (Martin Lawrence), he plays it very well and as an endearing character. He obviously has had past dealings with Kevin and is current in his familiarity of Kevin's reputation as a thief.Danny Divitto plays a back-stabbing, underhanded little weasel of a business-man who married for money and plays the field. He is just as unfaithful in his business practices, and at the hands of Kevin Caffrey, finally begins reaping the consequences. He consults the i-ching regularly and relies heavily on the tarot for guidance, hence the source of his great success; but something has gone terribly wrong for him. This movie epitomizes the old adage, "What goes around, comes around," in that Max Fairbanks (Divitto) definitely brings his down turn of luck upon himself.Also featuring Bernie Mac. I thoroughly enjoy this movie, and watch it often.It gets an 7.6/10 from...the Fiend :.
