What's the Worst That Could Happen?

What's the Worst That Could Happen? (2001) is a crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Sam Weisman paired Martin Lawrence as career thief Kevin Caffery with Danny DeVito as sleazy billionaire Max Fairbanks — and then let them tear into each other for 94 minutes. Kevin breaks into the wrong villa, gets caught, and watches Fairbanks pocket his girlfriend's ring right there in front of the cops. That ring is the whole war.

Kevin calls in his crew — John Leguizamo and Bernie Mac among them — and starts chipping away at everything Fairbanks owns. The billionaire retaliates with lawyers, bribes, and sheer audacity. The tagline says it takes a thief to nail a crook, and the film leans hard into that logic: every counter-move escalates the mess until neither side can remember who started it. Based on a novel by Donald Westlake, who built a career writing comedic crime.

It's not subtle and doesn't pretend to be. The appeal is watching two operators with completely different styles keep one-upping each other past any reasonable stopping point. Stream What's the Worst That Could Happen? online on iFILM.
