Title: A STUPENDOUS, FLAMING CAR WRECK OF A MOVIE
Review: Oh, Bay, why must you dazzle the pyrotechnics of my heart? Martin Lawrence gives his best performance ever. Seriously, this is the best he's done. Ever. This is it. Nothing better. And Will Smith? He steals scene after scene like he's Winona Ryder in an unguarded Saks 5th Ave. But the real star of this film is its director and auteur, Michael Bay. Never one to let plot, good dialogue, plausibility, logic, intelligence, strong acting performances get in the way of his vision, Michael Bay is a modern day Penny Marshall. A director so driven and ambitious, that his singularity of goal will confound your soul and leave you teetering on the brink of actually enjoying one of his films. And yes, you'll likely find yourself saying, "I paid $8.50 for that?" But upon further reflection you'll say, "Actually it was more like $20 after the diet fanta and the popcorn, snap!"
