I hadn't had great expectations for this film but was pleasantly surprised by some of it's hilarious content. Eugine Levy provides non stop laughter and the relationship between him and Samuel L Jackson throughout the film, reminded me much of the film "Midnight Run"

One very entertaining comedy. Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy are the most unpredictable, most funny and most entertaining buddy team in years. The chemistry between the two actors are great. Uproarsly funny. It's total cant beat fun

It's a fun movie with a story and something simple but it works well.
Critic Reviews
In Roy Orbison terms, enduring this movie is like working for The Man. Full Review
At what point do you know that a movie isn't just bad, it's off-the-scale, surrender-all-hope, no-turning-back bad? Full Review
The Man arrives in theaters today with a sheet over its head and a tag on its toe. Full Review
The chattering salesman and the curse-crazy cop never click, but they have their moments. Full Review
Unfortunately the movie is pretty trashy itself, getting most of its laughs from Jackson's habit of interrogating people by running them down in his car and then beating them with a phone book. Full Review
The Man is yet another screwed-up mess that will give audiences another excuse to shun the multiplexes this weekend.
Using the comic genius Levy simply for his bushy eyebrows is like using a Ming vase as a doorstop. Full Review
The Man [is] a vehicle of canned comedic setups that yield a slight buzz of low-level, odd-coupling amusement and a few welcome spasms of belly laughs. Full Review
The Man definitely has a plan. And it still fails. Full Review
