Men in Blah! Please, make with the flashy thing already!

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2002)

****SPOILER ALERT**** The funniest scene was when Mr. Smith's character finally revealed the truth behind rap beat-boxing. Classic diamond-in-the-rough comedy gem in this otherwise huge pile of recycled rocks. Everything else is re-hash. The little Worm Guys are so cute; you just want to squish them. (It's okay, they'll just re-generate). And enough already with the old-agent-just-inside-the-doorway-with-the-newspaper gag. We get it! It seems like less time (read 'money') was spent on special effects on this one. The whole worm-through-the-nose bit seemed a little too two-dimensional for my eight bucks and popcorn. The one-liners were well-delivered by masters Smith and Jones, but something was missing. It almost seemed like Tommy Lee Jones didn't want to be in this outing. If there is a MIIIB, hopefully more attention will be paid to chemistry. Now put on your sunglasses......
