Terminally Stupid

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2006)

A preposterous film about a foreigner stuck at an airport for months because circumstances make him a man without a country. It becomes more absurd as it goes along. He can barely speak a line of English in the beginning. In a matter of days he's mastered the language by watching TV. Then uber babe flight attendant Zeta-Jones falls for this fat, homeless slob. He then stays up all night and finds the tools and materials to build a monument of love for her in the form of a huge fountain. To top it all off is the unbelievably lame ending when we finally learn what he's been carrying around in the stupid coffee can the whole time. The characters are stereotypes and the situations are contrived. It is mildly entertaining but a big disappointment.
