So so funny

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2005)

I laughed and laughed and laughed! Will Smith is so versatile. He can do Ali, he can do alien butt-kicker, he can do family guy on the run from Big Brother, and he can do Mr. Funny as hell date doctor. Yes, Will Smith has a certain quality that transcends all his movies and identifies his flicks as "this is a Will Smith movie." But so does DeNiro and so does Nicholson. Debate the greatness of the former compared to the latters all you want; that's not the point. The point is that Smith's charm is what makes people want to see him. His talent and versatility keeps us coming back (tho that golf movie? Not.).
But it's not just Will Smith; it's Kevin James, too. Who knew how great this guy could be! Wasted on that fat-guy-with-cute-wife TV show that looks like all the other fat-guy-with-cute-wife TV shows. The trailers paint him as the stereotypical white boy can't dance guy. Well, ya know what? He's only that guy if his character believes he's that guy -- and he doesn't. He is GREAT in this movie. He positively steals every scene he's in.
Eva Mendes also shines. The girl can kick butt and look adorable at the same time. And she wears those sky-high shoes very convincingly (note to men - no one is comfy in those shoes, but we love 'em, anyway).
Don't drink too much pop during this movie; you're likely to pee in your pants from the hysterical laughter.
