(Review originally written at 5 March 2003)
This movie lacks what a good comedy needs: Humor.
Sure the movie has it's funny moments such as the beginning (that is absolutely hilarious!) and the bar fight. But a good comedy needs more then 1 or 2 funny moments.
The cast is impressive (Dan Akroyd is superb) but unfortunately their good performances can't save this movie. The movie doesn't really have a good and interesting story and the characters aren't interesting enough either.
It was a nice try and good for a few laughs but overall a disappointing comedy. Nevertheless it's still worth watching simply because it's a Spielberg movie and because of the excellent cast.
5/10
