75
Boston Globe: Jonathan Perry
All About the Benjamins has: flash, cash, and enough videogenic eye candy to make ''Miami Vice'' look like ''Little House on the Prairie.''Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Such overkill might seem like an asset to teenage boys (and those who think like them). The rest of us are better off not wasting our Washingtons.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
Something puddles to nothing in this relentless Miami sun.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Gene Seymour
Its dark-edged crime-caper plot is so formulaic it seems almost ritualized. Yet Ice Cube and Mike Epps enact their standard odd-couple tango with such ease and brio, you'd think they'd never seen such movies before.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
Ice Cube possesses real screen presence, and it's a shame to see him squander his talents here. He and Epps made me laugh in "Next Friday." They made me squirm here.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
You can laugh with or without irony. Or you can simply stay away.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Teresa Wiltz
It's painful watching a talented thespian diminish himself so. It's clear he did it for the Benjamins.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
The comedy is tepid, the action is dopey and even the violence is boring and occasionally cruel.Read Full Review »
