Michael Ledo Bryan Millers (Lee Tergesen) is a former CIA agent who is now a mall cop. His ex-wife (Lauren Stamile) is looking to remarry a porn star named Money Maker (Reno Wilson) while his daughter (Laura-Leigh) attempts to lose her virginity. Meanwhile there are evil Albanians who are lead by Brown Finger (Margaret Cho).The film is a near "Airplane" style spoof of Liam Neeson films, mostly the "Taken" series. The humor was on the predictable side, in this smile out loud production. The film copies the Woody Allen "Screw" scene from "Bananas."Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity? Large fake male organ

hddu10 As someone who grew up with the Airplane! and Naked Gun series, I have a soft-spot for these types of spoofs. At some point the Zuckers gave way to the Wayans and all subtlety in humor was erased in favor of shock-value and "in your face" crudeness. While "Tooken" certainly has bits and scenes you wouldn't want to watch around children, it also has very good writing and performances to give something for everyone. Lee Torgleson should be the next action hero (I hope he gets a lot of work after this) and Margaret Cho gets to do some character acting away from her usual stage persona. All in all, I'd say for a good night in of laughs with friends, Tooken is a good choice.

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning In this send up of the Taken films, the middle aged Irish hero has come down in the world from working for the CIA, and everything around him, from his ex-wife to his daughter's cherry, seems to be going away. But when some Albanian gangsters hatch a plot to put explosive devices in the local puppies, including his beloved own, he's pushed too far and swears to bring them down.If I had been a bigger fan of the Taken franchise this ultra low budget misfire is sending up, I might have been able to relate to it a little better, and enjoyed it maybe a little more, but that's a big gamble. It begs the retrospective question, if the script had such potential in the first place, why a bigger studio didn't snap it up? It pulls out all the gross out, juvenile stops it can, but I've never seen anything so unfunny in quite a while, with an incoherent, messy plot that makes it even harder to endure. If the script had been better written, and some better finance had been behind it, it could have been on to something, but as it is, it's just hopeless. Even the title is pants. *

Dark_Lord_Mark My expectations were super low...SUPER LOW!!! I thought, okay spoofs suck! I saw this, I was bored but it was fine. It was better than fine it was...gulp GOOD! I loved it, dick jokes galore, sex jokes check! When is a dick joke not enjoyable? Do NOT..DO NOT listen to those prudes who think this is awful because all spoofs are awful now. IT is good.It spoofs Taken 1 and 2....and is worth a try if you are a fan. THere are some lines from the movie that are changed...but still effective to convey a spoof meaning.Fantastic stuff, good acting...the movie is offensive but never to the point where you will take it off. It is full of stereotypes and while barely any nudity, does have a couple of gross out moments. It is a movie for guys, with guys in mind. If you like Role Models, Sex Drive and even some Leslie Nelson stuff, this is fine.I gave it a 9....my expectations were low and this exceeded them. Must watch imo.
