Interesting

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2005)

I watched this with a bunch of friends during a lull in interesting things to do.
Admittedly, the main draw for most of my friends was Will Smith. Not being a huge fan, I entered the cinema as a sceptic. Did I leave as a convert? Not quite, but Smith impressed me suitably enough for me to have enjoyed the film.
As far as plot goes, it's predictable. But then, did I really need to tell you that? It has some fairly cringe worthy moments script wise, but somehow the charming cast make it click.
The only casting objection that I had was the irritating Eva Mendes. Sorry to all her legions of fans, but the girl can't act, and has a voice that more than grates.
If you're going to see this, sure, have fun. Just don't expect anything brilliant or more than mediocre.
