This film made me laugh. It was definetely better than the first screening of the evening (err, morning), Bruce Almighty.

All in all, it was good, but not spectacular. If I had to pay $13.50 for admission I'd probably be happy, well at least I wouldn't go back later that night and burn down the theatre or anything. [Eek!]

Teeny, tiny, not even a spoiler...

I really wish 'he' hadn't have bumped into the skysraper while parachuting... like the chute wouldn't collapse as you fall to your death!

Albert Brooks is a favorite of mine and I did enjoy this film, but not as much as I wanted to. Parts of it just got too "zany" and lost the humor. To me comedies have to be relatively believeable or the comedy is lost. Still, it's one of the better flicks out right now.

Definitely one of the best movies out there in the mainstream circuit. Pretty much the entire time is hiliarious and Albert Brooks and Michael Douglas make a great pair. Sadly, this is one of our worst sellers right now, and I don't know why. I hope it picks up, because more people need to see this film.
