I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it when I took my son after all I'd
read here on the list, though I felt sorry for Matthew Broderick: some of
the lines he had to deliver....and I thought Jean Reno stole the show!

So THAT's who it was - unfortunately my kids were in a hurry to go, but I
was enjoying it much more than any other blockbuster "close-out" music I've
heard in a long while.  It's a better movie too.  The Guardian's review
mused on whether the fact that it didn't insult your intelligence and had
halfway decent dialogue were the reasons why it had (so far) not done well
at the box-office?!?!?

Free your mind & watch your ass!
