I Felt Like I Was Held Up
Well
after seeing this movie I felt like I was Held Up of all my time 90 minutes
seeing this bad movie. Held up has one of the hottest African-American actresses
in it Nia Long and one of the funniest African American comedy actors Jamie
Foxx. Who are both coming off the success of Any Given Sunday (Foxx) and The
Best Man (Long) which both was great films which Held Up is not.
The
story is about Michael Dawson (Foxx) a successful Chicago businessman on a trip
to the Grand Canyon with his beautiful finance Rae (Long). When she finds out
that he spent 15 thousand dollars on his new classic car with the money that was
meant to be for their new home. She dumps him on the spot and hitches a ride to
the airport. So mike is stuck in the middle of the Grand Canyon at a sip and zip
gas station with fifty bucks and a 8 track tape.
Then
if anything else could go wrong it does his car get stolen by a kid and all mike
wants to do is to get to the airport to stop his girlfriend. Jamie Foxx was very
funny as he usually is but the story is just so stupid. Don’t get me wrong I
did laugh but just on Jamie Foxx scenes. In the movie a little kid thinks he is
Puff Daddy and the cops thinks he is Mike Tyson. I was very disappointed in this
film I was hopping it was going to be a good film. I like the stars in it but
the screenplay lacks something (Plot).
This movie should been straight to video not in the theater. A bad movie one of the years worst next to supernova now right there you know its bad
Jamie Foxx and Eduardo Yanez Nia Long as Rae
