Summary: What did you expect from Martin Lawrenece
Review: Overall the story is predictable, silly and is exactly what I expected it to be. If Martin ever gets upset because he has been typecast it is his own fault. But I still liked the movie for what it was. As a comedy of this nature, it was on the up and up, just not my genre I guess.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best featured comedy/action DVDs ever!!
Review: I'll have to say that this is one of the best DVDS. It has very cool features. The sound and picture are very crisp. (Even better than being at the movies.) I'd buy this if you like comedy/action movies and if you love superb sound and picture and extra features. Buy it!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: talk about FUNNY!
Review: i saw Blue Streak visiting my cousins,and i loved it!!! the funniest part being where he dresses up in that crazy outfit and teeth and pretends to be delivering pizza, i laughed until i cried. i also loved the part when he drives carlsons car, and carlson freaks out!! i thought that martin Lawrence did a great job, i found myself rooting for him throughout the movie. i wasn't bored at all and even my mom, who usually doesn't like comedy nowdays laughed some of the time, thats about all, you gotta rent it!! or even better, buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Federally?
Review: Blue Streak is a very entertaining film. Martin Lawrence hasn't been this funny since his birth. Blue Streak is a funny, sassy, action adventure that doesn't quit. It will hook you from the very beginning. The dvd release is appropriate, including two featurettes, music videos, and two presentations of the film (widescreen and full-screen.) The score is up-beat, and there are many memorable lines, most notable is the scene in which Martin Lawrence tries to beat a guy up, and socks him thru a glass door window, hahahahaa, cracks me up every time. The sound mix in BLUE STREAK is multidirectional, and is a pleasure to listen to in dolby digital 5.1. My favorite scene (soundwise) is the automobile chase finale. Very very FUNNY!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: lame urban action comedy
Review: Like so many urban action laughfests, "Blue Streak" seems more interested in displaying a strutting, kick-ass attitude than providing a clever, character-driven comedy. Martin Lawrence, though a likable and energetic performer, is, alas, no Jim Carrey in the pratfall-and-mugging department and the film suffers as a result of it.

Lawrence portrays a wiseguy burgler who, through a slew of plot complications, finds himself masquerading as an iconoclastic police detective while endeavoring to retrieve the $17 million jewel he left behind in his last heist (in a building that has now been coverted into a downtown police station).

The modus operandi of these films - besides the inevitable car chases, shoot outs and, in this case, really queasy happy ending - is that, for the hipster comic's persona to work, all the characters surrounding him have to be dumber than dirt. Unfortunately, a comedy, like this one, set in a world inhabited by people much less intelligent than those in the audience, paradoxically, ends up not flattering us but insulting us all the more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blue Streak
Review: This is a must-see movie that Sisco and Ebertz would give 4 thumbs up to!!! Stars Martin Lawrence as a bank robber that goes undercover to get back a diamond he stole 2 years before. I give it an A+

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad.
Review: As budy cop movies go, this one isn't that bad. Some of the characters are good, and some of the one liners are very clever. overall it is very watchable and with some clever ideas and action.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT AN OVERWHELMING COMEDY, BUT IS FUN !
Review: LAwrence is very funny at this video, only there are some boring parts like car chase, etc. The general effect is very entertaining.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Comedy/Action at it's best!
Review: I believe this a great movie, funny and it's full with action. I was laughin so hard the first time i saw it, it's all about how Martin who's orginally a criminal, robs a place and gets a big shiny diamond. The problem is that the cops come and he has to hide the diamond in the vents of a building that is under construction, he goes to jail and when he comes back to the building it's been built into a police station. The movie is all about how martin tries to get the diamond back and it's action packed, with loads of comedy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A 2nd Tier Eddie Murphy Knock-Off
Review: As Much as I Respect The Talent Of Martin Lawrence why would he be caught doing this Eddie Murphy Reject?So Much Formula it isn't Funny.This Storyline has been done way too many times Already.
