Title: Banal
Product review: I think this movie is mainly a hoot for catholics with a sense of humor. Drop that angle, and there's not much to like. A pretty hokey plotline, too many big names for no reason and no part, not doing any acting, working with a script that tosses out ideas that have a 1-second shelf life. And the down to earth modernization of mythological and religous people is Neil Gaiman stuff, Smith does it completely superficially, although they both kind of flub that awesome idea and fail to get to the emotional side of such an issue. Particularly here though, it does not rise above gimmick at all.This is the first Smith movie I've seen, and so far he comes off as someone the public idolizes for his intelligence, mainly because he has dialogue about topics and his non-conformist appearance. There's so much more that can go into a movie though then posing a sort of intellectual question and then flexing the 'i'm people' roots persona.
