An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Robin Williams and Barry Sonnenfeld's work, I still wanted to check it out. At first, I have to admit it, it beginning was decent and I think the concept actually had some potential but then the story became more and more lame rather rapidly. After a while, the whole thing was just terrible, unfunny and rather painful to watch. Basically, it is one of those movies where Robin Williams acts rather hysterical which has never been really funny and to add some even more annoying characters was definitely not a good move. For Barry Sonnenfeld, it was his 4th disappointing movie in a row (after 'Men in Black II, 'Big Trouble' and 'Wild Wild West') and he won't release another movie for the 6 following years. Surprisingly, his following feature, 'Men in Black 3', which wasn't really promising either, turned out to be pretty good and surprisingly a success at the box-office so I guess, you should always hope for the best. To conclude, this is a really forgettable flick, a disappointing comedy, and you should avoid it, even if you are a huge Robin Williams fan.
