Plot: In this fish-out-of-water comedy, Jamie Foxx plays a man named Michael Dawson, though he's confused for both Puff Daddy and Mike Tyson by the citizenry of the podunk southwest town that serves as the setting for Held Up. Road-tripping Michael and Rae (Nia Long) stop in for gas in Michael's new vintage roadster, but she grabs a ride to the airport with a truck full of cowboys after learning he blew more than 10,000 dollars earmarked for buying a home on the automobile. Moments later, Michael loses the car as well when a youth cons him out of the keys. Just when his day couldn't get any worse, Michael lands in the middle of a botched hold-up by amateurs trying to knock over the convenience store. All variety of local law enforcement, from the sheriff (Barry Corbin) to truckloads of unofficial shotgun-toting deputies, quickly descends on the scene. Michael tries to sweet-talk the frightened gunman (Eduardo Yanez), befriend his fellow hostages (Sarah Paulson and John Cullum), and plan how to reach the airport before Rae's flight leaves, all while not getting shot by the hair triggers inside and outside the store. The film was produced and originally publicized under the title Inconvenienced. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

My purchase was great, I received the item quickly and in great condition, and I would definitely buy from this seller again.

I admit it, they got me! I had already finished my shopping when I looked up on the shelf and saw this. Wow! A new one (to me) by Jamie Foxx and it has Nia Long in it? I love Jamie Foxx. He's a natural talent, someone I feel like I can relate too. Nia? Whatever she's selling, I'm buying. I don't care what it is, cars, clothes, music, just send her my way and she has a customer. But this film was sad. Nia isn't even in half of the movie!!! I must admit I waited for a laugh to come. I even tried forcing one at times, only to realize I was the only one laughing...

I think the other point that sold me on this was that it was less than ten bucks. Thinking back, there were a ton of these on the shelf and I even remember others standing in line snickering and shaking their heads as if too say, "he'll figure it out". Yep, they got me! This has to be the low point in both Nia and Jamie's careers. Low budget, low on laughs, low on making any kind of sense. I still feel duped realizing that even as I write this mild diatribe, someone is gonna get curious and check this thing out for themselves. Nay-nay I say! Go get a good book to read instead. Which reminds me, first thing tomorrow I'll take this garbage to my local library and donate it. At least that way, the next recipient won't have to pay for it!

Michael (Jamie Foxx's character) is stuck at a convenant store call "Sip & Zip" (I never heard of it either) anyways the reason why he is in the middle of no wear in Nevada's desert cause his car was stolen by some young kid. To make matters worst for him some Mexican's come their to robbed the place two of them got away but one stayed and had everybody hostage. And all the sheriff could care about most is who's winning his little league baseball team.
