Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones are fresh, funny, action-packed

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 1999)

MIB was a fresh, funny, original film that should draw quite a varied audience from Will Smith fans to Tommy Lee Jones fans; action, adventure and thrill seekers; science fiction lovers; conspiracy theorists, and just anyone out for a fun comedy with a little bit of all of these elements.
Hollywood's clever pairing of "Mr. Smith" and "Mr. Jones" was an unmistakable hit. Everyone turned in excellent performances and the comedic timing was well done.
Although, I generally do not favor the "thriller" style genre (which this has some elements of also), the special effects were pretty good and the comedy and chemistry between this dynamic duo makes it worth watching.
