Double Take is nothing but a great movie. I first saw the movie in flight. And guess what, I saw it all 3 to 4 times, before the flight landed in LAX (from Asia). Eddie Griffin and Orlando Jones, such great actors who put up one hell of a performance. They became their respective characters which is why the movie turned out to be great. Every part of the movie is a double take, something's going on and you might/may not miss it or you wouldn't know whom to believe. So you clearly experience what Daryl Chase (Orlando Jones) is going through. Over all, the movie is brilliant, if you are looking for quality action and comedy then this is a must own (DVD) or you can always rent it (but the movie deserves a lot better than a rent). I have the DVD since 2004. And been watching it often, till today.George Gallo is awesome incarnate. This man is the brainchild behind some of the massive action/comedy/adventure/crime/thriller genre movies. MIDNIGHT RUN and BAD BOYS to mention.

I have heard others criticize this film for it's campy humor and the sometimes outrageous action scenes but it is one of my favorite films and I cannot recommend it too highly. I am typically not fond of the use of tacky humor but this passes all of my requisites, but from an objective standpoint I am able to see where others might be quickly annoyed with the humor and scripting of this film. The acting could be more convincing but the story itself is not convincing so it's hard to condemn the film for that. You have to go into the plot with a willingness to suspend disbelief, but it doesn't fit into the same bracket as films like Joe Dirt as far as humor is concerned. Other than some potentially objectionable language I think this film is a great bet especially if you need a good laugh. It should also be noted that the people that I know personally who did not enjoy this film went into it with more serious expectations. It is important to realize before you watch that the plot does not center around the action so much as it does the humor. I have owned it since it came out and rarely do I enjoy a film more than twice but this is one I have watched twice a week on occasions when I have needed cheering up! Obviously rent before you purchase. Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffin both do an incredible job and I can't even imagine what the outtakes would be like. That would be something to see!

An all around great movie. It was clever in the way Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffith switched characters and the jokes were all solid. There was a lot of depth to the characters that you usually don't get from comedies. A must see. Avoid Undercover Brother! See this instead.

This movie is the best action comedy I have ever seen. Gary Grubbs is a great actor and i just happen to know him well. Eddie Griffin is definitely one of the craziest funny men in hollywood. I recommend anyone to see this movie. especially if u love comedy with some added gunshots. Logan how are u man?
