Blue Streak Reviews
Pleasant diversion with lots of silly fun for teens.

Unimaginative.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000
There's a pretty decent joke at the center of this otherwise routine action-comedy.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

| 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.
