Review:
Tim: Blankman is a funny and original comedy from the mind of Damon Wayans. The film works on many different cylinders, but has its occasional slow moment. While the film does have many comedic scenes, many scenes which are supposed to be funny, simply aren't.
I recommend this film if you're a fan of Damon Wayans, or a fan of In Living Color. You still could enjoy this film otherwise, but the chances are greatly diminished. Blankman does display quite a bit of humor, but the film is plagued by a slow moving plot. This isn't a bad movie, but far, far, from a good one.
