Aliens, one-liners, good chemistry...I got what I came for

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2002)

A lot of people have been complaining about this movie, and I dare say they have missed the point...completely. What are you expecting out of a movie like this? Shakesperean dialogue? Hitchcockian drama? No! You're expecting neat-o special FX, aliens with a wicked sense of humor, and fantastic chemistry between the two stars, Will and Tommy. If you're expecting more, then why did you go see this film? It was not made for people expecting anything more than it delivers.
The jokes were on target, the story was simple and didn't overinflate itself to the point of cheesiness, the chemistry between the stars was dead-on as per usual. It's a popcorn flick made for summer moviegoers looking for an escape from the heat...it's not meant to be anything more than that. I came to this movie expecting to be entertained, and I was. Just relax and enjoy the ride.
