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

This slow and talky sitcom may leave its paying customers feeling Held Up.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Thanks to an attractive cast and an air of amiability, much of it works.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Eastin's plot never strays from the predictable nor creates the proper comedic tension and urgency needed for the story to work.

| Jan 1, 2000

It's hard not to wonder if Foxx owed somebody a favor when he signed on to make a movie this amateurish.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Scenes begin with an amusing premise and a few laughs, but quickly fizzle as the jokes become increasingly one-note.

| Jan 1, 2000

I'd rather be held up than have to sit through this again.

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

While an attempt to satirize the conventions of the hostage drama may have seemed an interesting notion, Held Up falls down on almost every count.

| Jan 1, 2000

It takes some doing to make performers as magnetic and energetic as Foxx and Long uninteresting to watch, and that's exactly what Rash and Eastin have managed to accomplish here.

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

There's an obligatory feel-good ending that's totally unbelievable, and the raunchy first act banter between Foxx and his girlfriend is disconcertingly at odds with the Preston Sturges-style stuff that follows.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

It's a movie so foul even the folks at the NAACP Image Awards would have to look the other way.

| Jan 1, 2000

By the end, even the irrepressible Mr. Foxx seems tired and defeated.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Which is scarier: Foxx, abandoned in a hick town, caught up in a botched robbery attempt; or you, trapped inside a theater, forced into watching this god-awful movie?

| Original Score: C- | Jan 1, 2000

Maybe a few years from now Held Up won't look like the misstep for Jamie Foxx that it appears to be today. But it probably will.
