Quotes

A-Con: All we need is D to do his signature move.
Thomas: He can't. It's too dangerous.
A-Con: Yo I don't care about that man D's gonna do it.
Thomas: But he can break his neck and be crippled forever.
A-Con: D don't care about that man, alright he's gonna take one for the team!
Thomas: Well, like a hundred million Americans, D doesn't have insurance!
D: Yeah, he's right, I don't.
A-Con: Yo man, he's doing the move and that's final. I want this!
Thomas: Exactly YOU want this. Look man, there ain't I in team.

What were they thinking??

I've always been a huge fan of the Wayans brothers. Their sitcoms have been hilarious along with most of their movies. I mean Major Payne was great. But I don't know what on Earth happened here. We know they have talent. We know they can be funny. When it comes down to it, this movie was just plain corny and not funny.

There were a few funny parts but I mean very very few. I would have thought they'd watch this movie themselves and realize if they released it things would be a disaster. It was just painful, and I don't know what happened. I hope the Wayans brothers can rise up after this failure and make some good stuff again. As far as this movie goes, the instant I finished watching it, I took the DVD out and broke it in two so no one else would ever have to suffer.
