Be ready for a very nerve racking, strange, somewhat unbelieveable and predictable chain of events that keep building to a frenzy that some might... d irritating. It's a no brainer that entertains with a few disgusting belly laughs; has foul language that doesn't add to the movie; some very poor directing spots and acting that should have required several more takes, ******** not terrible. I felt better seeing it at a matinee price. Martin Lawrence plays himself, an arrogant, self-centered character, and the widow, although likeable, did not discover her character and maintain it...she's much better as the wife of the former chief on Grey's Anatomy. I kind of expected more of Chris Rock...his character was very controlled and angry, the part could have been much more; again, I would tend to blame the director. The house they used for the film is gorgeous! Full Review
