Strictly for Empty-Headed

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2012)

All mouths and lips are what "Meet Joe Black" is about, literally: pouting, peeling, teasing, nibbling, licking, slurping. Claire Forlani throws her lips around any moment she can find. Brad Pitt, nibbling soft pink peanut butter, sucks. Anthony Hopkins, a moist breeze, but not better. Marcia Gay Harden as Allison, brain death. Martin Brest, the director here, must have instructed his actors (sentimentally): "as you well may know your lips are the most seductive part of your body and and it is very seductive when you play with your lips and and let's make a three hour film and and whisper all through the place because you don't want to wake up the audience and and whisper it all over when you hold me sweet words like I love you". The actors when signing up for Doctor Martin Brest's lips anesthesia they must have discussed both surgical and non-surgical alternatives in lip augmentation. The director finely performed injections for who didn't want surgery these techniques result in great improvements but were a temporary solution not good for eternity. Finally, Jeffrey Tambor as Quince is the only one worth watching.
