Martin Lawrence is really good here. I'm surprised too, though his acting may seem rather exaggerated, that is exactly the whole point. This is a comedy movie anyway.

Lawrence plays Miles Logan, who has just stolen a huge diamond worth $17 Million. But being pursued by the cops, he hid the chunk of compressed carbon in a nearby building that was under construction. Released from prison, he gleefully returns to collect his prized gem. Oh, if only life was as simple. He soon found out that retrieving the diamond is not so simple after all, for what was being built on the construction site is an LAPD police station.

So Plan A; he puts on the world's worst fake teeth in order to impersonate a dimwitted, pizza deliveryman to get in, but no success.

So Plan B; become a cop. Get into the building and just as quick, retrieve the diamond and get out! The problem is that, once he's inside, he's assumed to be the new detective in charge of the robbery division and was immediately sent out to show his skills at solving cases. Having been in robbery all his life, he has just the right skills to trap the crooks since he can think like them.

The funny thing is that he kept getting interrupted and called for investigations whenever he tries to retrieve the diamond. Here's a movie I believe you will thoroughly enjoy. And I like the twist at the end. OK, so it's not much of a twish, but just another of Lawrence 's hilarious acting to worm himself out of a situation, no matter how exaggerated it may be.
