A waste of a good plot...

Rating: 3/10 (8 July 2008)

I just didn't find the movie all that funny. When I saw it, I was looking for something funny and mindless. Mindless, yes but funny only in spurts. Isla Fisher who take the beautiful/funny combo to a new level is, in my opinion, miscast as I don't think this role really let her be a truly funny as she can be. There are some really funny lines (Why do you call yourself Voltron?) but the stunts are bad to the point of being utterly ridiculous and too contrived. The physical humor could have been more "almost credible" instead of completely inconceivable to make them have more comic impact.
If the movie is on cable, it's worth a watch. But I wouldn't rent it, it's just not all that funny.
