Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: I can't imagine how bored you would have to be with your life to find such a movie entertaining. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: At a zippy 83 minutes (including an ingenious title sequence that sets up the crime), The Man could be a lot worse. But with this kind of talent, it should be a lot better. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: As long as airlines need sub-par comedies, The Man will have a home flying the friendly skies. On the ground, it goes nowhere. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: So tired. Read more
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Characters are pretty much composites of their previous roles. Think Jackson's Pulp Fiction Jules getting all Ezekiel 25:17 on Levy's American Pie dad. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: As a comedy, The Man resembles a photo negative of Midnight Run, opposite in every possible way. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: The Man is 83 minutes of flatulence-perfumed proof. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: The Man plays like a sequel to some terrible movie that was mercifully destroyed before it was ever released. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: The Man [is] a vehicle of canned comedic setups that yield a slight buzz of low-level, odd-coupling amusement and a few welcome spasms of belly laughs. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Eugene Levy gets his first costarring role playing a dental salesman, which is ironic since the film has no teeth - also no brain or heart. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The buddy action comedy is now the megaplex equivalent of an old vaudeville routine. It is shticky, it is beyond predictable, it is such a creaky ritual that one would be hard-pressed to remember when it was actually fun. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Within a few days, you may not remember the title The Man. Within a few weeks, you may not even remember the movie. Read more
John Patterson, L.A. Weekly: When a movie's comedic zenith is Levy farting in an elevator full of nuns, or nerdily intoning the salutations 'homie' and 'bitch,' you know it's time to storm the box office to demand restitution. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: The formula that powers The Man is so rusty from overuse that you can practically hear it creaking and sputtering. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Unfortunately the movie is pretty trashy itself, getting most of its laughs from Jackson's habit of interrogating people by running them down in his car and then beating them with a phone book. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Using the comic genius Levy simply for his bushy eyebrows is like using a Ming vase as a doorstop. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: The idea that anyone would mistake Eugene Levy for Samuel L. Jackson is just about the funniest thing in this action-buddy comedy. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: The chattering salesman and the curse-crazy cop never click, but they have their moments. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Cop buddy comedies demand a framework for their antics, and that's where The Man stumbles. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The inescapable fact about The Man is that this movie is completely unnecessary. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: The Man arrives in theaters today with a sheet over its head and a tag on its toe. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The humor isn't all that funny by comedy standards -- you're more likely to smile than laugh -- and the action scenes are low-key by adventure conventions. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: The Man definitely has a plan. And it still fails. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: At what point do you know that a movie isn't just bad, it's off-the-scale, surrender-all-hope, no-turning-back bad? Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: In Roy Orbison terms, enduring this movie is like working for The Man. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: This movie's dumb. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Unfortunately, The Man makes the mistake of assuming casting is all it takes to make a good comedy. Read more
