King's Ransom (2005)

Member Rating:

A multi-millionaire plans a scam that goes wrong in a great many ways in this comedy. Malcolm King (Anthony Anderson) is a wildly successful businessman who has gotten used to having things his own way. When King decides to divorce his wife, she's none too thrilled at the prospect and makes it clear she will make him pay a huge settlement in exchange for his freedom. King isn't keen on this idea, so he and his mistress hatch a scheme by which one of her friends (Jay Mohr) will "kidnap" King and demand a large portion of his fortune for his return, which will be kicked back to the businessman later. But King seriously underestimates the ineptitude of his would-be kidnapper -- no to mention how many other people want a piece of his fortune. King's Ransom also stars Regina Hall, Leila Arcieri, Charlie Murphy, and Donald Faison. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Not Great, not fall out of your seat funny but GOOD. I had a few good laughs and chuckled here and there but I thought it would be funnier with this cast. If you like movies with ghetto flava, you will not feel like this is a waste of time or money.

It's a comedy! With some dopey characters, I don't think this movie was meant to be taken too seriously. If you have a sense of humor, rent it! If you are looking for a serious, believable plot, you might want to pass.

Why did I not turn this movie off after the first 10 minutes? The dialogue is laughable, but not because it's funny. The story is worse. Add in some poor acting, and you have an accurate picture of this film. If the thought of a dumb secretary dancing to Milkshake makes your sides split, then maybe this film is for you. Otherwise, dont waste your time.
