Man, two Chris Rock movies on my worst list - back to back no less! I think he\\'s a funny comedian but his choice of films stinks.He should pick better scripts than crap like this. This film is a loose remake... Full review

Down to Earth is an idiotic comedy with Chris Rock (in another sub-par, stereotypical role)as a horrible satnd up comic who is killed before his time. Consequently he is sent back down to Earth in the body of fat, old, rich... Full review

I saw this movie when it first hit the theaters, and to my surprise, it delivered a few good laughs though a rough story that was a bit off. Chris Rock was great in this film, and I would watch it... Full review

Is Chris Rock the next Jesus Christ? I think he is, in this film about a comedian who is fatally run over a truck and sent to heaven at the wrong time. Eugene Levy is funnier than "Seinfield" and "Friends" combined,... Full review

Down To Earth has some great laughs in it....we'll just have to wait for Chris Rock's best film which is surely not too far away.....a 90 minute Chris Rock concert film would defintely have been more satisfying.....Down To Earth isn't too bad of a start for Rock as a leading man..... ...

While I didn't feel "Down To Earth" was necessarily a bad movie, it still remains a rather unfortunately unremarkable one, given the talent involved.
After a particularly bad set, he's riding his bike down the street when he sees Sontee Jenkins (Regina King).

Raging, after all, is what Rock does best.
Rocks big-screen talents are proven here, but only just.
When he really lets rip, theres no doubting the mans talent Rock is easily one of the funniest comedians working today.

Down to Earth is not as messy, as embarrassing, or as rewarding.....almost every minute of Down to Earth is entertaining..... ... Full Review

And many expressed genuine fondness for the movie instead of shrugging it off as another ridiculous teen comedy.
In "Down to Earth," Chris Rock plays Lance Barton, messenger by day, comedian hopeful by night, but his act is going nowhere, despite the best efforts of his manager, Whitney (smooth and utterly winning Frankie Faison).
