Movie review:
- JPV852: Practical and funny, but one-off action rom-com with both Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn showing off their charms. However, the plot is thin and the action is average. For both stars, there’s not much to remember here. Not bad for a lazy Saturday, I guess. **3.0/5**
- GenerationofSwine: I’m currently trying to convince my wife to watch this movie, not because it’s a great movie, but because I know it’s a movie she’ll laugh at and enjoy. It has a sense of humor that ESL speakers can really pick up on without having to be native language experts to keep up with the wordplay…
- …but then again, her English is actually good enough and she’s watching and enjoying Monty Python, so, who knows if that still applies.
- Like I said, it’s not a great movie, but it’s memorable, and memorable for its goofy humor and mindless action, which was Gibson at the top of his game when he was playing funny, Silly and entertaining action/comedy movies at their peak.
- Historically, we could call it a cult of personality because, honestly, you watch it strictly because of Gibson’s personality and sense of humor.
- Mind you, this was before he did that…he asked for forgiveness very publicly…I personally don’t understand why people feel the need to keep beating a guy after he makes up for his mistakes.
- Honestly, you watch it and remember it just because it was a fun Gibson action comedy, nothing more. Especially in this show, he’s slightly better than Horne at comedy, which is kind of shocking since she can be hysterical when she wants to be. However, in this case, I’m not sure if she’s actually giving it her all, or maybe she’s just sulking back to her co-star routine.
- However, it doesn’t claim to be anything more, it achieves its goals, and it’s fun.
