We have all seen a bad film or two in our time. But, this one....well I practically had a physical reaction to this one. Yes, it bored, then irritated, then angered me and twenty minutes into this puerile mess I was contemplating never watching another movie in my life and taking up a hobby like making corn dollies. From the frantic start it is clear that very little attention was given to writing a decent script and it goes downhill once the scriptwriter decided to inject some "humour" into it. "I like it STRAIGHT" the airplane passenger tells the camp air steward. (ooh ow stop it I nearly bust a gut laughing) Later, poor Cameron Diaz gets to wiggle her ass in her panties and even answer the door to the postman in her scanties - where she hilariously tells him that he can put it in her slot whenever he wants. Hey!! Its called a letterbox! The standard of comic writing is 1000 times below that of the very worst Carry On film. Its as if a particularly stupid idiot college boy thought he'd add a few risque giggles to spice up an already well below par script. And as for the direction! Did anybody actually bother to direct this? Never has a screen been filled with such a mess. Even the potentially exciting fight scenes are so clumsily choreographed as to take away any possible excitement. ("Crouching Tiger" this certainly ain't). The whole thing plods along humourlessly and tediously and perhaps you can waste a few minutes wondering how many good films could have been made with the budget. Or perhaps the money should have been thrown straight into a furnace so that nobody had to suffer this disaster. It is contemptuous of the general public to even release such rubbish and the thought of a sequel makes my blood run cold.
