Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

wes-connors Sophisticated thief Martin Lawrence (as Kevin Caffery) attends an auction, looking for prospective victims. He finds something more desirable in beautiful Carmen Ejogo (as Amber Belhaven). Bringing her a landscape painting she had to auction off gets the previously reluctant Ms. Ejogo into bed fairly quickly. After copulating, she gives Mr. Lawrence a lucky ring. He wears the ring while robbing wealthy businessman Danny DeVito (as Max Fairbanks). Lawrence gets caught and Mr. DeVito claims the ring was stolen. Police make Lawrence give the ring to DeVito. DeVito begins to think the ring is lucky, also. The men fight over the ring for the rest of the movie...The teaming of Martin Lawrence and Danny DeVito may look inviting and funny, but don't expect much from this duo. Although DeVito's draw had diminished somewhat, both were dependable "box office" stars. Here, they are self-assured and unappealing (a toxic combination). "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" features good production values, with nice photography by Anastas Michos. Sam Weisman may have had a difficult time directing his leading men, but some of the other scenes work. Larry Miller (as Earl) and the old lady in the elevator wielding pepper spray (Michelle Youell) are able to evoke a chuckle, but a bad film brings down everyone's best efforts.** What's the Worst That Could Happen? (6/1/01) Sam Weisman ~ Martin Lawrence, Danny DeVito, Carmen Ejogo, John Leguizamo

Dr. Michael Hollywood If the box office rest of summer ends up as good as this movie was, movie fans will be in for a real treat. Martin Lawrence returns to the big screen with his hilarious brand of humor as he teams with Danny DeVito in "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" revolves around a would-be burglar named Kevin Caffrey, played by Lawrence, is caught in the act by the home owner, billionaire Max Fairbanks, played by DeVito. The tables are turned when Fairbanks steals Caffrey's ring given to him by his girlfriend. The rest of the film circles around getting the ring back. From this moment on, I knew I was going to be watching one funny film.Joining Lawrence and DeVito is John Leguizamo as Kevin's partner in crime, Burger, Carmen Ejogo as Kevin's girlfriend Amber and Bernie Mac as Kevin's uncle. The addition of these actors is evidence that "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" is a sure hit with all ages.Lawrence wears two hats in "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" as producer and star and he has success in both capacities.

I appreciate his comedic ability and acting talent.DeVito adds credibility to one truly fun comedy. I couldn't have asked for a better actor to portray Max Fairbanks.

With so many great films under his belt, I knew I was going to be watching a true master at work.In addition to credibility, DeVito has presence and humor in that made me smile from ear to ear and start to finish. He is solid comedic genius that brings a great amount of comedy and presence that will leave everyone smiling.Leguizamo has a true niche for comedy as he proves in "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" I wasn't sure how to gage Leguizamo because I have only seen one other film with him, so I was surprised to learn he was one of funniest and talented actors in the movie.The chemistry between Lawrence and Leguizamo was perfect because they seemed to work so well together. Leguizamo was a great compliment to Lawrence and his brand of humor. I enjoyed every minute they shared the screen because I knew I was going to laugh.Ejogo was a true pleasure to watch because she brought excitement and charisma to the movie.

Though "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" succeeds mostly with comedy, it also entertains with action and suspense.I knew with scenes like Kevin's taunts to Max over his cell-phone while he was in a senate sub-committee, "What's The Worst That Can Happen?" will entertain every single person who buys a ticket for this movie.

Global_Marketing_Pros This fabulous ring that the Afro-Americans keep chasing originally from the African heritage British accented woman. What makes this ring so fabulous. Any detective would surely suppose that an absolutely fabulous ring of this character could only be worth it's weight in gold. Somewhat like the rates in Squirrel Hill of Pittsburgh P.A., I would hope not. Of course a detective from Boston with a flair for the arts and knowledge of canines would surely assess the value fairly. Just as he would probably assess Russian speaking women of extraordinary rude and EVIL character in Squirrel Hill of Pittsburgh P.A. as equally fair. Unless this all powerful ring is connected with duty, honor, and country then it may be invaluable.Perhaps this is similar to the ring of Giges that makes the proverbial screen written words termed pros' more lethal when this ring is turned up-side down and inside out "where nothing is beyond him" who wears this ring to guide him. He would live in a world beyond your world, anything he wants he takes. Maybe the capturing of this ring or use is similar to the character of actor John Travolta in movie Swordfish.Only a flamboyant Boston detective of the arts could fairly say and judge these aspects of film and at the same time color coordinate his socks, shirts, and tie so eloquently. Of course if Russians and persons of African heritage blow each other into millions of pieces over such a ring who would care. Not I.
