A pretty good sign that a movie sucks is if Anthony Anderson is in it. His filmography:

Life
Trippin'
Liberty Heights
Romeo Must Die
Big Momma's House
Me, Myself & Irene
Urban Legends: Final Cut
Kingdom Come
See Spot Run
Exit Wounds
Two Can Play That Game
Barbershop
Kangaroo Jack
Cradle 2 the Grave
Malibu's Most Wanted
Scary Movie 3

I'll admit that Barbershop has its admirers (I'm not really one of them; I gave it a 6/10), but who likes that movie because of him? And I also admit I like Two Can Play That Game (7/10), but despite of him, not because. (And it's a good thing that I don't remember him at all in Liberty Heights.) Really, his resumé reads like a roll-call of mediocrity; could that possibly be to the fact that Anderson is a no-talent assclown who thinks overacting equals funny?

And now the overbearing annoyance has got a sitcom on the WB. Isn't that a form of Hollywood jail? Take another look at his criminal list of movies and realize that he's getting off easy. I mean, really: See Spot Run AND Kangaroo Jack??? Has he no dignity, no concern for his career?

And what can we look forward to in 2004? Let's see:

My Baby's Daddy. Plot: A trio of young men are forced to grow up quick when their girlfriends all become pregnant around the same time.

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London. Does anything need to be said?

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. Plot: Two twenty-something stoner roommates -- one a Korean American investment banker; the other an Indian American medical school candidate -- go through a life changing journey, as they spend a night roaming the state of New Jersey in search of White Castle hamburgers.

A hat trick of cinematic shame. If only he consulted me about that last one. Hey, Anthony! There's a 24/7 White Castle on Route 73 in Pennsauken (next to an eleven-screen multiplex)! Can you spare us the movie now? Please?

Heh heh, a WB sitcom. One step away from opening for Carrot Top on the comedy club circuit.

I liked ME, MYSELF & IRENE, but you have a point. He is in some lame movies. Part of it has to do with the roles he chooses, really. He needs to spend more time looking for the right jobs and stop trying to play costello to someone else's Abbott. His latest rumored job: an urban version of Boss Hogg for a Dukes Of Hazzard movie starring Paul Walker and Ashton Kutcher. Nay.

Actually Liked:
- Barbershop
- Big Momma's House
- Exit Wounds
- Me, Myself & Irene

Was not the Greatest, but was amusing:
- Cradle 2 The Grave
- Two Can Play That Game

Did Not Like:
- Kangaroo Jack
- Kingdom Come
- Liberty Heights
- Life
- Malibu's Most Wanted
- Scary Movie 3
- See Spot Run
- Trippin
- Urban Legends:Final Cut


The roles Anthony has played is the loud mouth (makes the finger quotes in air) comic I hate to say Boss Hogg. As for the upcoming movies, yep he has sunken deeper to a newer level.

Yeah, true, he's been in mostly mediocre to bad films, but even though he's annoying sometimes (like in ROMEO MUST DIE), he's often enthusiastic and entertaining enough for me to say: YAY. And he was terrific in ME, MYSELF & IRENE.

No high hopes for his future projects, though.

I have nothing against him. I just watched him in CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE and I thought he was nice (oh, and great end credits scene by the way!). Some other movies I like in which he costars are ROMEO MUST DIE, BARBERSHOP, URBAN LEGENDS: FINAL CUT and EXIT WOUNDS. Not seen some of them yet. He gets a YAY.

Is it just me or does he play the same person in every movie?

NAY. Has lots of energy but he's using it in wrong ways. He has a lot more potential than just Kangaroo Jack and Agent Cody Banks 2...

Yeah, his choice of roles leaves a lot to be desired.
However, he's damn funny when he wants to be.
Yay.
