A little too shipshape, too eager to please, not quite as anarchic as the best comedies.
63
What Rock fans will sorely miss in Down to Earth is the earthiness and outrageous hilarity of his stand-up act.
50
This remake is shorter than its predecessors, a welcome earthly reward.
50
Plays to none of Rock's strengths (even though he co-wrote the film with members of his HBO team) and intensifies his tendency to mug and shout.
30
The selling out of Chris Rock -- or Down to Earth, as he's chosen to call it -- is a sad, sad thing.
20
Mr. Rock's opening scene is very funny. After that it's a steep downhill slide.
