Upset his wife Renee (Smith) is divorcing him and is expected to get half his earnings, he fakes his own kidnapping, but a crazy fast-food employee (Mohr) and a mad employee (Parker) also want to kidnap him to teach him a lesson. The film centers around an arrogant, self indulgent rich man named Malcolm King (Anderson). I will say even in this poor comedy, he still manages to impress. He is a funny and energetic actor with instant recognition even with his respective weight-loss. He's always stuck in movies that fail to achieve anything they are trying to achieve. I liked his goofy Louis persona in Kangaroo Jack, his idiotic antics in Malibu's Most Wanted stood out from the entire film, and most recently in Scream 4 he was a great addition to the cast. While the overwhelming amount of negative reviews online is a little too much for this film, it still comes off as just a poorly made, unfunny comedy.Īnthony Anderson is always one of the highlights in every film he is in. More than half the movie is weak so the likelihood of a rewatch is extremely slim. King's Ransom starts very weak, continues at a snail's pace, then finally gets interesting with fifteen minutes left. Reviewed by StevePulaski 4 / 10 Another comedian held ransom to his material
