This is a cute but unfortunately mild and tepid movie. There are some (very few) exceptionally funny lines. Chris Rock does two short spots on stage. Both are very funny. That's it.The romance is cute but not entertaining enough to care about the characters. Chris is very stiff throughout the whole movie except when he is on stage those 2 rare and short times.Chris Rock just didn't rock in this one. 5/10.Zafoid

Down to Earth is a sporadically funny movie starring Chris Rock. I thought the idea was creative (even though it is basically a remake of Heaven Can Wait). Rock is hilarious at times and so are some of the others. However, something is missing and I'm not sure what it is. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film and happen to be a big Chris Rock fan. It just needed a little more. You can probably wait until video to see it.

There were some funny moments in this movie, but overall I was unimpressed. I recognize that this movie is supposed to be a comedy, but it really fell short of being funny. Why did they have to bring Rock back as an old white man. The old white man really had nothing to do with the movie. Rock didn't act like an old white man. He didn't look like the old white man (at least not to the audience). He didn't even seem like he was an old white man. Yet no one really cared.Now, I know that this is supposed to be funny, but all I really felt was embarrassed.Chris, until you can become a real actor, go back to stand up.
