movie review - What's The Worst That Could Happen

Vancouver, 2002.01.02
This is an amusing flick with Martin Lawrence and Danny DeVito. Lawrence plays a thief, who breaks into the home of the wealthy DeVito only to be robbed in turn. The item that DeVito's millionaire steals is a 'lucky ring'; an item given him by his new girlfriend. The ring has significance because it had belonged to her father, a gambler.
Though a bit tedious in points - with cliches, a plot that seems to stick on one or two points in a circular fashion, and some pointless dialog - it's generally entertaining. DeVito plays his usual shtick, Lawrence does his usual bit, and you get pretty much what you expect.
Recommended.
