I must say that going in to this movie, I did not have high hopes. I've never been a big fan of Martin Lawrence's films, and Danny DeVito can be hit or miss as a performer. But this film, though it goes too long (as many comedies do) and has a last scene that seems tacked on and makes little sense in the context of the story, had me laughing more often than not. Lawrence and DeVito are good, but what's really nice are the members fo the supporting cast, particularly John Leguizamo as Lawrence's fellow thief, Bernie Mac as their benefactor and fencer, Carmen Ejogo and Nora Dunn as Lawrence's and DeVito's respective ladies, and especially William Fichtner, who practically steals the show as a police detective unlike any you've ever seen on screen. Take it for what it is, and "What's the Worst That Can Happen" definitely isn't that.
