All surface, but very funny.

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2014)

MIB is a smart and funny film buoyed by the tremendous comedic interplay between its 2 leads: Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. They take the solid script and do everything right with it. The side characters (excepting the generic female lead) all hit their mark, adding to the enjoyment of this picture. Especially good is Vincent D'Nofrio (spelling?) who plays the "skin". He is as hilarious with his physical quirks as he is creepy. He must be having the time of his life acting here. And seeing Rick Baker's fabulous monster make-up effects is always a treat. The only critique is that it is not a film that particularly stimulates your brain or heart. But if you are looking for high quality popcorn entertainment, MIB is first rate.
