 Lou Lumenick in the New York Post concludes his review of The Man by remarking that it is "another screwed-up mess that will give audiences another excuse to shun the multiplexes this weekend." Once again, the critics seem to agree, a studio has resorted to tried-and-true formula in hope of assuring box-office success. Writes Gene Seymour in Newsday: "The formula that powers The Man is so rusty from overuse that you can practically hear it creaking and sputtering." Ty Burr in the Boston Globe credits stars Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson for giving a professional performance. They "wring every last ounce of mustard out of a rancid boardwalk hotdog. Nice try, but The Man still tastes dreadful." |
