Another weekend in the books means another Sleeper Movie Monday. This week, I think it’s safe to say we’re due for a comedy. Lots of fucked up stuff going on in the world. M&F is here to remind you laughter can sometimes be the best medicine during dark times such as these. Fire up the peace pipe, and geek out to your favorite comedy.
Coming out in 1999 is a Martin Lawrence classic. One of the kings of comedy, Martin Lawrence, is joined by Luke Wilson and fellow comedic juggernaut Dave Chappelle in the crime/comedy movie Blue Streak. Lawrence plays a jewel thief who hides his biggest steal ever, a giant diamond, in an abandoned warehouse upon his arrest. When he’s released a few yeasr later he has one mission: find that fucking diamond. Things take an unexpected turn when he finds out that warehouse he hid the diamond in, is now a police headquarters. Thus begins the characters journey of his character posing as an LAPD detective until he can locate his booty.
This is an awesome late 90’s comedy. Martin Lawrence’s unique style of delivering jokes and his character’s over confidence is combined so well with Luke Wilson’s ability to play a dimwitted moron that the two really steal the show. Their back and forth banter provides for some gold moments on screen. It’s an easy watch and is gaurenteed to give you some laughs. Give it a shot.
