Summary: It's da bomb
Review: Typical Martin Lawrence style of comedy. Plot: jewel thief needs to retrieve a diamond he stole and left in a building which turned into a police station. He poses as a police officer for one day just to get the diamond back... but that's where things go all whack and the comedy ensues!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Blue Streak blows Metro away.
Review: Unlike it's terrible movie that came before it METRO , Blue Streak manages to use the talent and genious of Martin Lawrence to boost this buddy cop movie into new hights.It's the only fact that makes this movie work because of Martin Lawrence to make you laugh because his gags are so funny.

The Pizza Man being the funniest out the hole movie,Martin making his charachter's hair looking like something you could clean your sink with and horribly cheesy sunglasses and a terrible outfit and dancing like a 70's nerd.The fact that he was a theif and going back to find his loot somewhere in a police department is clever.When you see him desgiused as a detective just makes you want to be able to root for him in the long run.As we see him being able to fake out his partner into going with the fact that he is a first class detective.

With edge of your seat action sequences and wall to wall comedy acts from Martin,this movie is well worth the money spent.With an HBO First Look featurette and an look into the prespective of this hilarious movie DVD owners should be happy.A very funny and great buddy cop movie for the 90's.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: hilarious!
Review: really funny but some of the time i was just thinking "when is this film gonna be over? "but at the beginning this delivery guy is really funny,though,so it's is still worth renting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A funny movie
Review: Blue streak was a good film, funny, good action scenes and a good cast. Martain Lawerance is always good in the films he's been involoved with, from House Party 1&2, Bad boys and Nothing to lose. This is not his best movie (as Bad boys would take some beating), but is one of his best and a lot better than Nothing to lose. Blue Streak is a solid film. Extra on the DVD lok well worth the purchase inluding an HBO First Look Featurette, music video's and the trailer.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mindless Fun
Review: In one of the few movies where Martin Lawrence's humor doesn't become seriously racist and xenophobic he plays Miles Logan, a jewel thief, after a $20 million diamond. But one of his team betrays him (Peter Greene, once again playing a bad guy) and they're plan is thrown all out of whack. After hastily stashing the diamond in a nearby construction site he is soon arrested sent away for 2 years.

Upon release he heads back to the construction site only to find it's turned into a police station. No luck getting back in unless you're a cop then. A series of disguises fail and Logan ends up impersonating a cop in order to get to the diamond. But he's so good at the impersonation that police duty gets in the way and he's partnered with Carlson (Luke Wilson).

Mild plot complications ensue and it becomes increasingly difficult for Logan to get to the diamond. Though the trouble really starts when Deacon (Peter Greene) comes back to get him.

It's all brainless stuff but it makes for enjoyably silly viewing. Lawrence's improv isn't all that funny but the rest of his performance is strangely tolerable. Wilson isn't his usual self in the wimpy cop role but it's weird watching him pronounce 'real OLD SCHOOL' 4 years before said movie was released. And Dave Chappelle is hilarious Tulley, the amateur liquor store robber.

There was supposed to be a sequel but plans for it fell through. It would have been a hundred times better than the awful Bad Boys sequel regardless of script quality.

The DVD is in bright, clean 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with a lively Dolby 5.1 soundtrack. There are some extras but nothing groundbreaking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Favorite Movie
Review: Martin Lawrence is definetely my favorite actor. He just makes everything funny, even if the script is weak. If you read his stand up material, for example, it isn't that funny at all. But if you watch it, you just can't help but laugh. This movie would be great even without Martin, but he just makes it as funny as can be.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: what!!
Review: I don't care what you say, Martin Lawrence is just damn hilarious! Blue Streak is another example of why we keep coming back for more of Martin - and regardless of what other's say, the Pizza guy in the beginning of the movie was one of the funniest scenes in the whole flick!

The only disappointment for me was the ending of this movie... it was a bit of a let-down. But I'll still watch this movie a million times, because it's classic Martin Lawrence.

Take this movie for what it is: COMEDY! Martin is a funny man that does great characters, and really, that's what this movie adds up to. No one can deliver like he does. Does it matter that he plays similar characters in most of his movies? Does it matter than much of the play and plots are the same? Does it matter that his delivery is pretty predictable? HECK NO! Because each time, no matter how many times you've seen him do it, Martin is hilarious - PERIOD.

I searched for this movie all over, and finally had to order it on-line because it's not available to buy anymore. I'll watch it over and over, because with Martin Lawrence, that's what you do.
