Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, Laura Flynn Boyle, Johnny Knoxville, Rip Torn
You ever wonder if Will Smith forgave Barry Sonnenfeld for Wild Wild West? He must have. Otherwise this wouldn't have occurred.
Something tells me that friendship is exceptionally strong if it makes it through this.
A new alien is in town, this one taking the form of sexy Laura Flynn Boyle. She looking for some Light of something or other. Already I'm annoyed that the chance to pull out jokes is placed around some feeble plot that's very similar to the previous Men in Black. Am I being too harsh?
No. Poor Tommy Lee Jones is told to just be a hard ass - but not too much for the kids. Will Smith does get to exercise some laughs - which are again, not for kids to grasp.
There's even very little for young ones. The film's pace is perfect for them, as it doesn't stretch out long enough for them to get bored.
The script is awful. None of it is really pulled off well. All the way through I felt that this was something directed straight to video.
1.5/5
