Title: Dopey Fun
Product review: You simply cannot take seriously a film like THE BODYGUARD. The only reason I watched it was that Tony Jaa was given top billing. Jaa is one of the most exciting martial arts stars of the decade. Here, he is in only one scene, which is played for laughs. In fact the entire movie is too. The plot is merely a device upon which the director allows the stars to mug for the camera. The villains are straight out of the Snidely Whiplash school of acting. The hero alternates between playing it straight and for laughs. For those who have seen Tony Jaa in a few of his other films, you might recognize the same actors in similar roles. Though this is a pretty silly film, there are too many scenes of gratuitous nudity and graphic violence to make it suitable for the very young. For those who can appreciate the numerous "in" jokes and allusions to Jaa's other films, THE BODYGUARD is mildly entertaining.
