I can understand why people hate this film so much, on first viewing it does raise titter or two, but nothing as groundbreaking as Wayne or Powers.
Andthis is where the problem lies. It's been years since we saw Myers on the screen, Not counting TCITH, it was Goldmember, and that formula was very tired by then.
So people wanted something fresh, they got this, featuring Mini me, which would get people instantly comparing this to TSWSM, which was never a good idea.
It does have it's charm though, and while some of the more visual gags don't work, a lot of the films connotations and innuendo are laugh out loud funny.
It never gets dull, over the top silly at times yes, but never dull. All the cast are fine, especially Alba and Timberlake, but this is Myers baby, and it shows, it obviously made him laugh on paper, but but it doesn't always ring true here.
Otherwise, it's nowhere near as bad as the critics or box office said, it's actually quite endearing.
