Below average flick with big stars

Rating: 5/10 (12 July 2008)

This is probably the disappointment of the year so far. I'm a fan of Will Smith and an even bigger one of Charlize Theron, but still this movie seemed like a waste of money and time. The key weakness is the script - it goes nowhere - and its hard to tell whether this movie wants to be a comedy or a drama. It's as if the 2 halves were written by completely different people. The acting is decent though, including Jason Bateman. But there is not much character development and substance in the roles. The effects are good, and it has a few laughs - almost all are shown in the trailers.. But i was left a bit "Huh?" when the movie ended.
Its just a pointless film. It will draw crowds only out of curiosity and the stars in it.
