Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

merklekranz The beautiful 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk is the best thing in this movie. The beginning has a few chuckles as Jamie Foxx's girlfriend, Nia Long, gets an education about 8 track players. Once the "Sip & Zip convenience store is taken over by some inept robbers, the movie begins a steady slide downhill. In other words, as the supposed hostage situation becomes more ridiculous, so does the film. None of the cast of misfit characters is developed, and the simplistic script is stretched beyond belief. It's almost like they said this is what we have, now what can we do with it? I absolutely will add "Held Up" to my DVD collection, but only because of the magnificent car. - MERK

butchfilms There is no discussion that "held up" is a bad movie, the only reason to watch it is because of Jamie Foxx who is very funny even in the worst comedy movies.The plot of the movie is about a couple Jamie Foxx and Nia Long who are traveling in their new car until they get to a store and they begin to discuss and she leaves to the airport without him in another car, from there Jamie Foxx will have real problems when his car is stolen and the store where he is at is robbed too.I would recommend to watch "held up" only if you are a fan of Jamie Foxx.

michaelsibley416 "Held Up" is one of the those feel good comedic movies that doesn't require a whole lot of thought. "Held Up" is an enjoyable comedy that played like a comedy of errors. Jamie Foxx is a comedian that almost matches the comedic level of someone like Chris Rock. This was the perfect match for Foxx and the movie because I don't think "Held Up" could have been made without him. I enjoyed how Foxx mixed the comedy with scenes of drama. It gave a nice balance to a light-hearted and good natured film. Everyone played a comedic part in this film from Barry Corbin to Nia Long and Jake Busey. "Held Up" is just good fun.

JamesL-4 I saw this film aboard a bus, in November of 2000, on my way from the Tallahassee Amtrak station and Walt Disney World (the tracks were being worked on). I was thus a captive audience for the bus driver's taste in movies; otherwise, I never would have seen it. It's hard to imagine that Barry Corbin and John Cullum (from Northern Exposure), and Julie Hagerty (from the Airplane movies) would have wasted their time with anything this bad: nobody could be that hard up for work.That's not to say that the movie didn't get a few laughs from me, and from the other passengers on the bus. But we weren't laughing WITH it; we were laughing AT it.
