Men in Black (1997)

"A witty and sometimes surreal sci-fi comedy, Men in Black is a wild knuckleball of a movie that keeps dancing in and out of the strike zone."

"A lean, punchy, fast paced, and extremely endearing sci-fi action comedy - basically Ghostbusters with aliens - packed with irreverent jokes, boasting two great central performances, and overloaded with hilarious aliens. The only weakness: there's not much plot, and when it does finally kick in the film slows down a tad."

"Dryly clever."

"When the plot finally does click in, it slows down the trajectory a little, but not fatally."

"A genially twisted riff on the familiar alien invaders story, a lively summer entertainment that marries a deadpan sense of humor to the strangest creatures around."

"Sci-fi with a sense of humour. Cool slick and very very funny."

"Deserves credit for supplementing its special effects with a breezy script and genuinely charismatic performances by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones."
