Product Description

A cheerfully over-the-top action film, Bad Boys is notable chiefly for the rapport between its two stars, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, as two Miami cops on the trail of a drug kingpin as they try to protect a witness (Tea Leoni). Smith is the swinging bachelor and Lawrence the family man, and both must juggle their personal lives as they baby-sit the one chance they have to recover a stolen drug shipment, save their jobs, and take down the drug dealer. While the film is almost always implausible and its story is something seen many times before, director Michael Bay (The Rock) keeps things moving stylishly and at a feverish pace, as Smith and Lawrence prove themselves a terrific comic pairing. Their odd couple banter flies at a faster clip than the bullets and explosions, and becomes the best reason to see this hyperbolic but entertaining action flick. --Robert Lane
Product Description
Marcus Burnett is a hen-pecked family man. Mike Lowry is a foot-loose and fancy free ladies' man. Both are Miami policemen, and both have 72 hours to reclaim a consignment of drugs stolen from under their station's nose. To complicate matters, in order to get the assistance of the sole witness to a murder, they have to pretend to be each other.

i enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith play
two buddy cops who couldn't be more different.Marcus
Burnett(Lawrence)is a strait laced,more conservative family man who
likes to do things by the book.his partner Mike Lowery(Smith)likes to
fly by the seat of his pants,and bend the rules as afar as he can
without breaking them.both work for the Miami police dept.during the
course of one case things really heat up for the duo.this particular
case turns out to be very dangerous and more than both bargained for.it
all adds up to an action packed,thrilling,and sometimes funny 2hour
ride.Smith and Lawrence have great chemistry,and the banter between the
two pals is sure to elicit chuckles.for me,"Bad Boys" is a 4/5.

I love this movie. It is funny and action-packed. I just wish two could have copied the same formula. It had too much action. It made me dizzy.

Bad Movie
The jabbering of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith is very annoying and seems out-sync with the worn-out protect-the-glamorous-witness formula. Read more

Absolutely Horrible
One of the worst action movies of the 90s. The dialogue by Lawrence and Smith is so God-awful that I had to turn this film off halfway through. Read more
