"King's Ransom" Movie

Yesterday I saw the movie “King’s Ransom”, which starred: Donald Adeosun Faison, Anthony Anderson, Loretta Devine, Kellita Smith and Jay Mohr.

The storyline involved the following: “Let's see, there's successful and wealthy businessman Malcolm King (Anthony Anderson), who's pretty much an a**hole all the time. There's the vindictive soon-to-be ex-wife (Kallita Smith), who wants to rake him over the coals. There's the overworked, underappreciated employee (Nicole Parker), who gets passed over for a promotion. There's the really, really dumb mistress (Regina Hall), who doesn't do much but jiggle--and get promotions. There's the dimwitted local bumpkin (Jay Mohr), who simply needs money, and any amount will do. This crazy bunch all decide, at the exact same moment, to kidnap King, including the man himself, who concocts his plan to get out of paying his wife millions in a divorce settlement. And when it all goes haywire, King ends up getting a taste of his own medicine. Are you laughing yet? I thought so.”

I give this movie a “C”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket. The movie was too predictable and mild for me.
