The Man
Who da man? In the spirit of “Lethal Weapon” and “Rush Hour” comes the buddy/cop team of Samuel L. Jackson (“The Man”, undercover ATF agent) and Eugene Levy (so not “The Man", dental supply salesman). In a case of mistaken identity, Levy gets entangled in a stolen arms deal and eventually becomes “The Man” in this very funny film. Levy’s innocent Joe Average portrayal perfectly counters Jackson’s tough street-wise characterization in a cleverly written script. It’s a fun movie to close out the summer and head back to school. It is rated PG-13 for violence, language, and rude noises.
Alien gives it 3 “Odd Couple” stars out of 4.
