Down to Earth
(Reviewed February 7, 2001, by James Dawson)

Here is exactly what is wrong with this movie, in which hip, young Chris Rock is reincarnated in the body of an old white rich guy:

The ONLY funny moments are when we see him AS the old white guy, acting like a young black guy. In other words, during those fleetingly brief moments when we DON'T see Chris Rock, the movie is funny. But when we see Chris Rock walking around, and other characters are reacting to him as if they are seeing an old white guy, things fall totally flat.

This movie also looks very, very cheap, and the writing is on the level of a dumb sitcom. A real waste of time. Don't bother.

Back Row Grade: F
