I mean any Steve Martin performance is worth seeing - here he made me laugh out loud several times (and in my book a comedy is good if I laugh out loud even once). But Queen Latifah was a disappointment here - I loved her performance in Chicago - but here she came off kinda flat. Of course Eugene Levy was great as always, but was criminally under-utilized. The racist jokes, though intended to be over the top, came off as quite mean spirited (Betty White has had prouder moments than this in her career!).
Okay flick.
