Owen Gleiberman is a film critic for EW
A racial-cartoon buddy movie that flogs its best laugh -- indeed, its only laugh -- in the trailer. Daryl (Orlando Jones), a Wall Street banker on the run from a drug cartel, has traded places with Freddy (Eddie Griffin), a nattering hustler. Daryl, launching into a shameless caricature of a ghetto lush, chews out an Amtrak waiter for the crime of not having in stock any ''Schlitz!...malt!...licka!'' Good joke. End of the movie's humorous imagination. Griffin, with his stylized street rasp, carries on like some idiot white movie executive's idea of ''the new Chris Tucker.'' D
