This comedy was just bottom of the barrel of the stuff here. It was not in the least bit funny nor was it interesting. This movie was just an epic failure.Jake Rogers (Cedric the Entertainer, Barbershop), an everyday regular man who has somehow found himself waking up next to a dead body with no memory of who he is and how he got there. After a series of events following an encounter with his wife Diane (Nicollette Sheridan, TV's Desperate Housewives) and girlfriend Gina (Lucy Liu, Kill Bill), Jake gradually comes to believe he is a secret undercover agent embroiled in a high-level government conspiracy involving an arms deal involving the CIA and FBI.Will Patton (Armageddon) and Mark Dacascos (Cradle 2 The Grave) also appear in this poor excuse of a comedy.This movie maybe would have done better with someone like Martin Lawrence or Chris Tucker, however it may not have made a difference. In fact it may have been a blot on their resumes. Unfortunately Cedric the Entertainer is not leading man material and is better suited to supporting roles.Nicollette Sheridan, Lucy Liu, Will Patton and Mark Dacascos have certainly been in better movies and this is a movie to forget for them.Director Les Mayfield (Encino Man, Blue Streak) is normally a competent director unfortunately he has managed to find himself with a big stinker on his hands.What can I say here? This movie tried to hard to be funny however it just did not work at all. It was not funny at all. For some reason I decided to persist with the movie to see how it all ended. For some reason I could not even tell you how this ended. This was certainly a forgettable experience. It was no surprise that this was a box office flop and savaged by many critics. Hands down this was one of the worst movies of 2007, and certainly one of the worst comedies I have ever seen.Avoid.1/10.

After reading the reviews posted by others the phrase "White folks" come to mind. The reviews posted appear to me to be posted by white folk who don't have a sense of humor. And...yes...my skin color is white."Code Name: the Cleaner" never loses sight of the fact that it is brain candy. It intended to be somewhat silly fun, and it succeeds. The film doesn't take itself too seriously...definitely plays up the babe factor in a great manner (Thank god it is Nicolette Sheridan instead of Elizabeth Hurley; Hurley couldn't be as tastefully slutty as Nicolette!)...and it understands the concept of parody.The film also does a good parody of racial relations. The amnesiac Cedric being sold that he is Nicolette's husband and the interaction at the house with the Butler (Where's my Jet!) is an absolute scream! Only staid old white folk won't find this to be very funny.This film ranks with "Undercover Brother" and "Amos & Andy" and "Blazing Saddles" as "get lit and get laughing flicks."

For a James Bond prototype, this isn't that bad. One of the few that deserve more attention then they really get. The only other 'Bond' prototype that is as funny as this one would be Johnny English. Yes, we all have seen the plot, but it's the twist to the storyline that keeps it interesting. This time our hero wakes up in a hotel room, on the bed next to the dead man's body. It starts out more of a mystery, then quickens the pace just before the half way mark comes. Cedric is clearly at the top of his game both pyhsically and in his jokes. For sure he does a better job at keeping his material censored, heck, depending on the child, this could even be a kids movie.

I don't know why some people slander this movie. They should get some antidepressants or something - somethings not right with these people anyway. This movie is well made, has good actors doing a great job, interesting (but somewhat predictable) plot! It has pretty much everything you want from a nice action/comedy movie and I certainly enjoyed the movie a lot.I almost gave it a seven but I'm a cheap b*stard - and even if it's closer to a seven than six - it falls just short of it... =)I just made up my mind - why the h*ll not...
