If rampant misogyny and racism sound like a laugh riot, by all means see National Security, a 'comedy' so aggressively unpleasant that it's worthy of squirms.

This is lowest common dominator filmmaking in every sense of the word, which shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone familiar with the oeuvre of director Dennis Dugan.

A patently offensive, racist and repulsive waste of celluloid, an affront to blacks, whites and human beings in general.

A lame blend of comedy and action in which both credibility and laughs are blown to smithereens.

If... Martin Lawrence and Adam Sandler [were] in the same movie, it might... create an anti-comedy field so strong that both their careers would be sucked into the vortex...

A retread of all those buddies-in- the-cop-car pictures of the 1980s; not even slightly dusted off.

Despite some tasty contributions from Lawrence and Zahn, too much of National Security has the bland flavor of microwaved leftovers.

Put your hands up and back away from this rent-a-flop.

Someone has to save us from Lawrence's onslaught of cinematic dross.

Indistinguishable dumb action comedy.

It's too bad Martin already made What's the Worst That Could Happen? The title really fits this one.
