Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    There are no big surprises, but Mac and director Charles Stone III hit all the right dramatic notes, and Angela Bassett is reliably smart and sexy as Mac's love interest.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    "Bernie Mac is perfectly cast in Mr. 3000" thats like saying Paris Hilton was perfectly cast in 'the simple life'

    Big Horse Borelli: You know, a lot of people said that Stan only looked out for himself, that he wasn't a team player. But I'm here to tell you, if you get 3000 hits, you don't have to be a team player. If you have a lifetime .314 average, you don't have to be a… More

    I really can NOT stand Bernie Mac. He really annoys me. I liked the movie concept, but it just wasn't done right.
