Remember the story of The Emperor's New Clothes? Well, that's what this film is like. The makers cunningly predicted that if they played up the beauty of its stars, and the hip throwaway frothiness of the story, people would accept its shortcomings and overlook the fact that it's one of the most dismally structured and scripted films of recent years, right down there with the likes of The Avengers. There's nothing wrong with making light, fast, fun films -- but this is just calculated, poorly executed crud. Don't stand in the crowd with the mindless cattle and laugh stupidly -- open your eyes, use your brain, compare this to any action-comedy which you've enjoyed in the past, and see it for what it truly is.
