stinks like a very dead fish

Rating: 1/10 (31 October 2004)

Too cute for my liking, and so plugged into b-celeb pop trash culture as to be unbearable. A real McMovie, which in about three weeks time is going to seem as outdated as Duran Duran. Even De Niro and Scorcese get on my nerves - now becoming even less than a parody of themselves. Perhaps they thought it would be fun, but it AIN'T, guys. Will Smith is totally unfunny, as usual, and is as amusing as a cheesegrater rubbing on a bunion. Smart alec remarks that are stale, and all the sparkling wit of a mouldy cabbage. Really third rate and poor. This only goes to show how really wonderfully talented Eddie Murphy [whom he obviously hopes to emulate here] in Shrek is. Smith is simply completely untalented, in comparison.
Everyone I talk to who has seen this movie has a low opinion of it - avoid.
