First grade garbage

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2007)

Indeed this movie is a howler.
The first half is mildly enjoyable but from then on the movie descends into repetitive nonsense and serves as nothing more than a vehicle for Beyonce's mutual admiration society. Furthermore the music deteriorates to the extent that most of the singing in the second half resembles a cat being strangled.
Eddie Murphy remains the only redeeming factor throughout the movie.
Jamie Foxx gets too xxs as fail marks.
Lacking in any meaningful plot whatsoever.
Why does Hollywood bother spending money making such movies? Then again - why does Hollywood even exist? Avoid this one if you can!
