Fortunately, the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, with the script producing good-natured laughs on a regular basis. The three leading actresses are an absolute delight and seem to be totally enjoying themselves during every sexy, action packed moment they are on the screen. Bill Murray does his usual shtick- adlibbing his way to some really big laughs. The image is super sharp and highly detailed, just like one would expect from any other new, big budget movie. Perhaps there are a handful of shots that appear somewhat softer, but the movie flies by so fast, I doubt most viewers will notice them.
Colors are incredibly vibrant, and the flesh tones are very appealing.
Even the most incendiary hues remain completely stable, without a hint of chromatic distortion or smearing. Blacks are dead on perfect and the picture produces tremendous shadow detail and depth. The soundtrack is aggressively mixed with plenty of split surround activity and good channel separation in the forward soundstage. Sound effects ping pong from front to back and from left to right without a hitch, inside the track's unified sonic environment. Dialogue reproduction is clean and never buried under the sonic assaults the track doles out.
