![]() ![]() I liked both Anderson and Mohr's characters, but their antics aren't as funny that I would even come close to recommend this at all. The first forty five minutes of the film are nothing but overacted events that showcase nothing but the film's hyper activity and craziness. Upset his wife Renee (Smith) is divorcing him and is expected to get half his earnings, he fakes his own kidnapping, but a crazy fast-food employee (Mohr) and a mad employee (Parker) also want to kidnap him to teach him a lesson. The film centers around an arrogant, self indulgent rich man named Malcolm King (Anderson). I will say even in this poor comedy, he still manages to impress. He is a funny and energetic actor with instant recognition even with his respective weight-loss. ![]() He's always stuck in movies that fail to achieve anything they are trying to achieve. I liked his goofy Louis persona in Kangaroo Jack, his idiotic antics in Malibu's Most Wanted stood out from the entire film, and most recently in Scream 4 he was a great addition to the cast. Anthony Anderson is always one of the highlights in every film he is in. While the overwhelming amount of negative reviews online is a little too much for this film, it still comes off as just a poorly made, unfunny comedy. More than half the movie is weak so the likelihood of a rewatch is extremely slim. King's Ransom starts very weak, continues at a snail's pace, then finally gets interesting with fifteen minutes left.
