Thought it sucked compared to the first one with Burt Reynolds. Go rent Cool Hand Luke starring Paul Newman. Everyone with a penis needs to have seen that movie at least once. The famous quote "What we have here is... failure to communicate" is from that movie.

Nelly had his "racist white man (stone cold steve austin) keeps me down, but my slave heritage fights back" 5 minutes in the movie. Weak. If you've never seen the original, you may enjoy it, otherwise it'll be a cheap knockoff.

In Mr & Mrs Smith, look for their hostage's Fight Club t-shirt when Brad Pitt's character is questioning him. Don't think anyone else in the theater caught that. Johnny Depp had fun with t-shirts and the cell phone "can you hear me now" thing in the movie "Once Upon a Time in Mexico." I like these subtle bits of humor.

Nelly, DMX, Ice Cube... any angry black rapper seems to come out playing the race card either for a cheap laugh like Chris Rock or the "i'm the oppressed underdog fighting back" crap. Sad.

I really liked the deep roles played by Ludacris and that guy from Dead Presidents in the movie "Crash." Kinda made you reflect a bit on the impact of profitable stereotypes have on generations of young, impressionable people.
