    Hilarious circumstances, with some really funny moments. Enjoyable with a good comedy plot.

    Miles Logan: Hey, this is the police. Move your busted-ass vehicle. Move, move, move, move. This is the LAPD. We'll pop one in your ass. We got guns and shit.

    A ridiculous comedy involving a thief posing as a police officer in order to find a diamond he hid in the building a ye...( read more)ar prior. It works because the cast manages to play along with the plot enough to make it enjoyable.

    Martin Lawrence stars as miles, a thief who attempted to steal a diamond before being caught and sent to jail. However, Miles was able to stash the diamond in a building under construction.

    Surprise surprise, when Miles gets out of jail, he finds that the building is now a police station and needs to find a way in. After exhausting a few options, Miles disguises himself as a police officer, but then becomes involved in other police matters as well.

    Miles Logan: Don't you ever get all up on this thing?
    Carlson: I don't think I've ever gotten all up on anything, sir.
    Miles Logan: No, I'm over your head, because your head's up your ass.

    The film also stars Luke Wilson as a rookie detective, William Forsythe as a detective extremely impresses by all of Miles' skills, and Dave Chappelle as a crook and friend of Miles.

    As mentioned, the plot is ridiculous, but the way the movie goes about handling it makes one not really care. Its a fun movie and a lot of scenes are just setups for scenarios Lawrence can make funny.

    Miles Logan: No, I'm over your head, because your head's up your ass.

    I loved this movie when I first saw it, typical Martin Lawrence in absurd situations with pointless alibis. But probably my favorite movie with him as the star

    DAMN! This is a funny if not silly film, Martin Lawrence. Nice one man respect. This is a comedy cruncher indeed.

    Baza je ovaj film, nisam ga dugo gledala, tek od sredine sam se sjetila svega pa i samog kraja. Martin Lawrence mi je genijalan, pogotovo u komedijama! :)

    Better than I was expecting, this is a faced paced and never boring film with an unrealistic but interesting plot.

    Action packed, sometimes funny film with let down by some huge, unmistakable cliches which are normally packaged with this sort of film.

    The black anti-hero: C...( read more)heck
    The ridiculous sitiuation: Check
    The chalk and cheese friendship: Check
    The big all out action finale: Check

    But despite these, it still manages to entertain because it is all that we expect and, although we may hate to admit it, it is all we really want from this sort of comedy.

    Easy to follow, acted with great timing by Martin Lawrence, some other above average performances. As it turns out, it isn't all that bad.

    So if you want a typical action/comedy and a good old fasioned guilty pleasure, then look no furthur than this.

    Blue Streak is a totally awsome show! (and I can't believe that i'm the only on this board!! Sad huh!)I watched this show at my friends house and was wide awake through the whole thing. (Maby that's just cause I was the most hyper one there though.)
