Editorial Review:
Special agent derrick vann is a man out to get the man who killed his partner but a case of mistaken identity leads him to andy fidler a salesman with too many questions & a knack of getting in vanns way. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 12/09/2008 Starring: Samuel L Jackson Luke Goss Run time: 84 minutes Rating: Pg13
Eugene Levy is the quintessential milquetoast white guy and Samuel L. Jackson is the definitive badass black dude. The producers of The Man calculated that the collision of their innate racial qualities would produce the kind of comic sparks that Levy and Queen Latifah set off in Bringing Down the House. When ATF agent Derrick Vann (Jackson, Pulp Fiction) learns that his partner is dead and a cache of guns has been stolen, he sets up a sting to get the weapons back. But into the middle of his scheme stumbles Andy Fiddler (Levy, A Mighty Wind, American Pie), a dental supplies salesman from Wisconsin. From there unspools some formulaic buddy-movie pap: Vann gives Fiddler a dose of excitement and Fiddler teaches Vann a little compassion and trust as they improbably track down the bad guys. To a degree, the producers were right--the interplay between Levy's Groucho eyebrows and Jackson's burning scowl provides the only juice this movie has. The Man doesn't deserve actors as talented as Levy and Jackson, but there's no denying they apply themselves diligently and squeeze out a few laughs. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Perfect Comedy!!!
This movie is extremely hilarious! Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson were awesome together! A dentist named Andy Fiddler is getting ready to go to Detroit to give a speech about dental tools. While in Detroit, he happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, and some gun-dealers think he is a buyer. Agent Vann thinks Andy is robbing the store, because one of the bad guys gives Andy a gun. Throughout the film, Andy is annoying to Vann, who has no time for nonsense. Vann needs Andy to pretend ...

Rating: - Hilarious!
This is a hilarious movie! Eugene Levy and Samuel Jackson are great together! Their public images couldn't be any different, and that is what adds to the hilariousness of the movie!
Rating:  - Funny movie
This movie is a great pairing of Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson. They make a great partnership and the acting is very well done. I especially like the banter and the way they try to get back at each other for previous things in the movie, great fun. The only reason it didn't receive 5 stars is because the plot is nearly paper thin, but if you look past that the movie will make you laugh.
Rating:  - "Detroit ain't Wyoming"
The Man was a bit of a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Samuel Jackson and Eugene Levy among others, though by no means is it a bad movie.
A small-town dental equipment salesman from Wyoming arrives in Detroit for a convention only to get dragged into a police operation aimed at catching arms dealers and solving murder mysteries...
In short, the acting is generally pretty good (though nothing great), while the setting, the dialogues, the humor and the plot are about ... Read More
Rating: - Not That Bad......
I fould it to be very funny I mean sure that is no story but who cares it's fun to Jackson doing a comdey for once I mean okay the other actors suck but it does not stop this movie from being funny.I know that the movie has alot of crude hummor in it and I like that kind of stuff but for those of you who want a funny and clever movie then go look somewhere else but for those of you who want to have a good time then go out and buy The Man.
