Starring: Danny DeVito, Martin Lawrence
Director: Sam Weisman
Rated: M15+
IT might be useful to admit that I saw What’s the Worst that Could Happen? on a plane.
And I think it is that kind of film, a slight, raucous farce that serves as a star vehicle for the increasingly popular Martin Lawrence. He has been seen in Bad Boys, Nothing to Lose, Blue Streak and Big Momma’s House, among others.
Lawrence is a thief. Danny DeVito is a sleazy business man, so who is good and who is bad? They try to outwit each other in the burglary and insurance stakes with a few laughs along the way. And that is about all that happens (except for a spot of romance).
It’s not the best but it’s not the worst either.
