This is very easily in contention for the worst movie ever. Painful to watch. I was tempted to get up and leave the theater as I endured the pain. The only thing that kept me in the theater was I was there with three friends. Later when we got out of the theater we all commented that the movie was completely bad and that we should have walked out on it.

I have heard others criticize this film for it's campy humor and the sometimes outrageous action scenes but it is one of my favorite films and I cannot recommend it too highly. I am typically not fond of the use of tacky humor but this passes all of my requisites, but from an objective standpoint I am able to see where others might be quickly annoyed with the humor and scripting of this film. The acting could be more convincing but the story itself is not convincing so it's hard to condemn the film for that. You have to go into the plot with a willingness to suspend disbelief, but it doesn't fit into the same bracket as films like Joe Dirt as far as humor is concerned. Other than some potentially objectionable language I think this film is a great bet especially if you need a good laugh. It should also be noted that the people that I know personally who did not enjoy this film went into it with more serious expectations. It is important to realize before you watch that the plot does not center around the action so much as it does the humor. I have owned it since it came out and rarely do I enjoy a film more than twice but this is one I have watched twice a week on occasions when I have needed cheering up! Obviously rent before you purchase. Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffin both do an incredible job and I can't even imagine what the outtakes would be like. That would be something to see!

(sigh) Double Team is another useless action comedy. This movie didn´t have a theatrical run in Finland and I don´t wonder. You can see one this kind of movies made straight to video. Orlando Jones has been much better in other movies. The movie wasn´t funny, except one scene. Total waste of time. (3 points out of 10, *½ out of *****)

I saw a test screening of this film in October 2000, and it was quite a bit better than the 5 line blurb that was on the invitation. It's in the style of "Rush Hour" (Brett Ratner is one of the producers on this film), a action/comedy about double crossing and "who to trust?" that works, at least the unreleased cut that I saw worked. Orlando Jones is starting to get some more substantial roles.

I caught this during a weekend afternoon on Comedy Central and was pleasantly surprised. I expected an insulting and stupid buddy movie, but found myself somewhat entertained. I guess that's the point, anyway - it's not high art; just an amusing, OK film that has a few good jokes and amiable enough performances. Orlando Jones plays a Harvard-educated lawyer who becomes involved in a murder conspiracy. He decides to make a run for Mexico to meet the only person who believes him at a rendezvous point - but along the way runs into authorities and, in an effort to ditch them, switches identities with an apparently homeless druggie (played by Eddie Griffin). The two men essentially play each other for the duration of the film - Griffin pretending to be a high-class black man and the educated black male stereotype pretending to be a loud-mouth black stereotype. Is this movie racist? I wouldn't say that. But it does rely on many stereotypes. Nevertheless, it comes across as passable due to the amusing performances and pace of the movie. It's nothing great, but it helped me pass the time on a dreary afternoon.

Hi, I saw Double Take. It was complete and utter garbage. I was so sick to my stomach and was mad that i wasted money on it. It was completely stupid with an impossible plot to follow, and the only parts that were funny had been extremely over used in the commercials. I dont want a yardburger, cult 45, or to ever see that that godless sick twisted movie ever agian.

Double Take turned out how I thought it would've been from the trailer and TV spots- fair. It didn't become better than I thought, however it didn't lower my expectations either and I have to give it that. The problem is is that the film usually doesn't work and changes it's tune (ie plot) more frequently that Elvis Costello on SNL. At times the plot gets so confused you wonder how the people who thought this was just going to be a buddy movie with Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffin felt. The film does have it's moments and even has some laughs in it (my favorite gag is the running gag with the guy with the glass eye), but not enough to get it up. Griffin does good though. C+

There was just something about this movie that I found hilarious, and I watched it about 3 times in a row. I could watch this movie over and over again. I always find Eddie Griffin to be a great laugh. If you like comedy (and aren't easily offended by profanity) check out this movie!
