Rating: 1.0
what ? me worry ?
As usual,the previews show the only amusing parts of this vapid flick. Mel Gibson has great presence but it is wasted here as he acts confused and stutters his lines in a script that portrays most men as thoughtless nitwits. His transformation to telepathy is stupid and appears to have been dreamed up over a coffee break. Helen Hunt is no better and constantly looks as if she is ready to cry her beady little eyes out. Marisa Tomei! This beautiful talented actress who won an academy award is given a bit part as a brainless bimbo! She needs to fire her agent. Mels daughter is supposed to be a sympathetic character but comes across as a snotty brat until her {you guessed it} creep of a boyfriend dumps her. The only subplot that interested me was of the hard working but overlooked and ignored go-fer. I don't recall her name but the scenes with her and Mel were the best part of this movie. So, if you liked "Married,with children" humor then watching Mel hop around in pantyhose and rip hair off his legs should amuse you. For me, it got old real fast.
