Blue Streak Reviews

Pleasant diversion with lots of silly fun for teens.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 19, 2002

Unimaginative.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

There's a pretty decent joke at the center of this otherwise routine action-comedy.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A formula picture that never rises above the generic but entertains nevertheless.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A pooped, poorly executed buddy-cop comedy with more cliches than expletives.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

In the wake of a summer of capers and cons, Blue Streak arrives as a dull afterthought and a sorry vehicle for the comic expression of Martin Lawrence.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Most of the film is just Mr. Lawrence goofing around.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

As an action comedy, Blue Streak offers little freshness on either front.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Blue Streak suffers from an identity crisis.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Still, the movie is pretty bad. It's Rush Hour meets 48 Hours meets Bad Boys except this time around there's only one bad boy and the script and direction are subpar.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

You watch this movie for Lawrence's antics but soon realize he doesn't really involve the audience in his comedy, the way Murphy did in 48Hrs.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

The contortional physical shtick familiar from Lawrence's sitcom, laden with a dollop of Three Stooges violence, should keep the boys happy.

| Jan 1, 2000

Blue Streak falls victim to bad cliches.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Apart from Lawrence's goofing, Blue Streak isn't much of a movie and its formula of stunts, anti-authority humor and a chase-and-crash finale is predictable enough to be depressing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

No one here is competent enough to reach even stupid buddy-comedy heights.

| Jan 1, 2000

Since the characters are pretty simple, and the plot wafer-thin, there's not a lot for Martin to do but fall back on wild histrionics and facial explosions.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Blue Streak ranks in the upper reaches of the cop buddy genre, up there in Lethal Weapon territory. It has the usual ingredients for a cop comedy, including the obligatory Dunkin' Donuts product placement, but it's assembled with style.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Lawrence seems trapped in his jug-eared, slightly clownish nervousness, like a sidekick suddenly shoved into the spotlight.

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 1, 2000
