I shoulda been drunk to see this. I got sucked in by the clever trailers and spots. Almost left within the first 15 minutes, shoulda trusted my instincts--they were right.
Follow Ups:
Who'da thunk it. For male leads, I'd rate him up there with Robin Williams for unfunny annoyance factor. I get sucked into these movies too, sort of like looking at bad accidents, even though I know I'll be repulsed by what I see. But this time I'm keeping my eyes on the road and driving right by. Drove right by that Photo shop too, gotta get me a digital camera.I once read a good review of this movie from some festival, the reviewer was obviously in love with Anderson, since that's what the review was REALLY about. I guess the reviewer could have been going on the "if you can't say anything nice..." principle. What is that saying anyway?
Robin has moments of levity (few & far between as they are). I'd say Chris Tucker. He's never funny. He's the current Pauly Shore.

you don't remember the fifth element....his character was HILARIOUS.
I liken it to a dental experience when the dentist said he didn't need to numb a nerve in a tooth he going to perform a root canal. He told me that the nerve was dead which is why he needs to do the procedure.Or, there's the time I went to the ER when a wound was obviously infected. The doctor said he didn't need any topical anesthetic to debrised the wound since it was already dead skin.
I'd rank (the appropriate term) Chris Tucker's character along with Jar-Jar-Binks. He ruined the film. I was one of the suckers who saw it in a theatre. I kept hoping & praying that his character would be snuffed out. Alas, like a Jean-Claude van Damme movie, it wasn't meant to be. If it weren't for him I would've love to have bought the LD. I loved the loveable wacky old priest. Now, he was funny! He "almost" redeemed the flick.

I, too, absolutely hated Tucker in Fifth. I wished he would go away. Outside that, I have always found him funny. I picked up somewhere that he said he was no longer going to play to the stereotype. Then came Rush Hour 2. Money talks . . . .
I saw it a couple of weeks ago and found myself
embarassed to admit I'd gotten sucked in. Emily
Watson was good as usual but that was all there

I was pleased that Sandler at least didn't have that "gee I'm cute" look that Robin Williams always has. But, focusing on him for the first 20 minutes of the movie (disguised as character development) was maddening. Watson was good. But nobody that cute, and seemingly normal, would ever waste that much time with Sandler's fruitcake character. Once again, the trailer-makers deserve an Oscar.
