“I was expecting something really lame when I slipped this DVD in. However it turned out to be quite okay. Eddie Murphy is in really good shape and Owen Wilson delivers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is well made from a comedy point of view, but surprisingly also fairly well made in the action aspect (for a comedy that is). It has good pace and doesnu0026#39;t leave you bored for long. I actually found some really big laughs in this, especially from Wilson.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m not a big fan of director Betty Thomas, I thought u0026quot;28 Daysu0026quot; was really flat. I thought she was a weird pick for this one – however, she surprises me with both comedy and action skills that Iu0026#39;ve never seen before (but in truth I havenu0026#39;t seen much of her rather extensive work for TV). I tip my hat of to the lady who brings this plane in for a sufficiently smooth landing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you like action comedies and donu0026#39;t expect anything more then to pass an hour and a half, you should be quite fine with this one.”
