hat do you get when you mix a dorkey, rambling, traveling salesman with a tough-as-nails law enforcement agent? You get The Man, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Canadian funnyman Eugene Levy. 

  Jackson, better known for his dramatic, action-type roles (S.W.A.T., Shaft, Die Hard III) stretches his comedic chops and goes head to head with Levy (American Pie, Best in Show) who finally scores a lead after several supporting roles. 

  So just how well do these two mesh? The duo is being compared to the likes of Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin in Midnight Run and Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. 

  In The Man, Levy plays Andy Fidler, a bumbling dental supply

salesman in Detroit for a two-day convention. Special Agent Derrick Vann (Jackson) is a federal agent who has only 24 hours to find out who killed his partner and recover millions of dollars worth of stolen weapons. When the talkative Fidler is mistaken as a weapons buyer in on the deal, Vann is forced to bring him into the operation or their covers will be blown.

  With the clock ticking, they uncover much more than they could have ever anticipated and Vann soon realizes he's bitten off way more than he can chew with his annoying, babbling sidekick.
