Not your average comedy...

Rating: 8/10 (19 August 2002)

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones team up along side Vincent D' Onfrio and Rip Torn for the 1997 hit MEN IN BLACK. Smith is agent J. Just recruited to a top secret government organization MIB that monitors extra-terrestrial life on Earth. Jones is K. The man who recruits J. and who is a long time member of the MIB. Together they must team up to stop a bug in a human's body (Vincent D' Onfrio) under the guidance of Rip Torn. MIB never let's in on the laughs, and is nothing like your average comedy. It's worthy of the success it's had, but I hear the sequel stinks. Too bad. Maybe in MIIIB (MIB 3) they should come up with some original plot lines and jokes like MIB 1. Because even if the sequel's horrible, MIB is a great blend of comedy, action, and sc-fi. 3.5/5 stars
