Missed the Point

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 1998)

When I first saw this movie, I didn't like it. Then it occurred to me that maybe it was supposed to be a farce -- you know, everything overplayed, trite plot, silly characters. Certainly Will Smith seemed to play it that way. But then occasionally they seemed to take themselves seriously. So what bothered me the most was the unevenness -- it could be enjoyable if it were played as a farce at the way through.
