More like Deja Pooh

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2006)

I've had more thrill-packed poops than Deja Vu.
Where to begin? Denzel Washington is NOT a time-traveling do-gooder as he would have us believe. Instead he proves once again why he is one of the most inconsistent actors of our time, delivering a stale, if not poopy, performance. It was like The Crotch Chronicles all over again. Come on, Denzel! Mommy loves you.
There are many more problems with the film, but there's not nearly enough room here to list them all (think Gabe Kaplan on a shrink's couch). I don't know what Val Kilmer is doing in this movie. As usual, he makes you long for the poetic subtlety of Robert Hegyes. Here I was hoping this would be the movie where they finally bring back Bull the bailiff from Night Court.
What I will say is that Deja Vu has a pretty crazy performance from Paula Patton as Claire. This lady knows where to find the pickle! She's got a bright future ahead of her, if Hollywood knows what's good for it. I read she likes corn.
Overall, I do not recommend Deja Vu.
