User Review
A lot of unfair criticism.
Rating: 7/10
I cannot believe how many negative responses this film has had. In Perth
it
is showing this week on television, and the TV guide labelled it the worst
film of the week. What is wrong with everyone?
This is just a light, fluffy movie with some genuinely funny moments.
Michael Keaton would have had a nightmare of a time in this role(s).
Imagine having to act with three other guys who aren't there. The beauty
of
his acting is, you can tell which clone is which. It's almost as if there
are four different actors, al a Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers.
I agree Andie MacDowell isn't anything more than eye candy, but she hasn't
got a lot to work with. This is Michael's film, which he shares with the
excellent visual effects. I don't understand how anyone couldn't enjoy
this
film. Maybe those people can watch The English Patient or A Passage To
India for the hundredth time. Enjoy!
