Great Actors, Semi-great plot ... good movie!
I am a big fan of Samantha Mathis and Bob Hoskins, so I am biased from the start. However, this movie was actually pretty good. It's based 'very' loosely on the Nintendo game of the same name. The similarities stop at the character names though. Once you get into the plot of the movie, you find that dinosaurs didn't become exstinct, they were merely sent to a parallel world. And on that world, they evolved into a human-form after those billions of years (so evolution took a similar turn for them as for mammels, in other words.)Then we meet Mario and Luigi, a couple of plummers from Brooklyn who have a hard enough time finding work if it wasn't for Scapelli, their rival in business. It seems that Scapelli's crew has blasted into some dinosaur fossils, so the local college has called in an archaologist: enter Daisy.Soon, well ... I don't want to give away the whole movie. :) Just go rent it or, if you can find it, buy it. I think any sci-fi, Nintendo, or fantasy movie fan should have this one in their collection.
