just what it's cracked up to be

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2002)

I loved this movie -- sure it was silly and improbable and had a lot of gratuitous violence. But it's SUPPOSED to. It has no pretentions, and is just as it's advertised -- a roaring good time. It's hilariously funny, Will Smith has perfect comic timing, and the aliens are cool. And great music. Besides, it's worth it just to see Michael Jackson playing an alien.
