Critics Consensus

Silly and unfunny remake of a French movie of the same name.

I expected this to be much funnier: Latifah coasts on her charm, and Fallon seems incapable of playing an actual character.

It would take a tankerload of laughing gas to pump some humour into this flat-tyred fiasco.

Essentially this film takes the now cult French version, Americanises it and ruins it. The film is an unimaginative pile of dross. You grow to despise Queen Latifah’s character after about 3minutes and film becomes a drag about 2minutes later. Do yourself a favour and watch the French version and give this mess a wide birth.

Netflix recommended this and it was a horrible waste of time, money, and effort. Even if I look past the racial and gender tropes, the thin plot left nothing for the audience to enjoy. First, no cop would drive that badly and pass the academy. Second, it would have been better if the robbers just ended it quickly and spared us the pain of watching this garbage.

Rotten Tomatoes, hang up ur evaluation credentials. Do u ever put urself in the viewers' shoes? Lighthearted isn't in ur vocabulary. Nor is humor! The chase scenes wit Queen Latina are priceless. Oh, wait, no sex! Sure there are slow periods but the rest of it is a funny family show!
