Man, I'm glad I didn't pay a cent to see this film. Free tickets... thanks for small mercies.
Shamelessly unoriginal, boring, unfocused. Not a surprise, considering who was at the helm. I pretty much predicted every scene this film had to offer as soon as I saw the TV spots. This brand of story has been done to death! Why bother putting such a redundant tale to celluloid. All one needs to do is watch Indiana Jones and you've already seen this film before you've watched a minute of it. I hope they don't make back their budget for this one...
Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn were just filling in the old "hard-bitten hero adventurer" and "goofy sidekick" roles... Penélope Cruz, while often nice to look at is just a stock standard damsel in distress. Both the bad guys are totally forgettable.
One thing I like to do while watching this kind of brain dead film is to guess whether it will all end with a big explosion. And yes, this one does. But was it worth 130 million dollars? Hell no. The effects weren't even worth the effort to drag myself to the cinema.
Congratulations Breck, I hope this piece of crap you made puts a smile on daddy's face. Now, can I have my 2 hours back?

Except for a couple of amusing scenes featuring James Woods and Jason Alexander, this "comedy" is bereft of any originality or laughs. I had to rub my eyes in disbelief when I saw that it was filmed in the mid 90's! The only evidence that this wasn't an 80's movie was the presence of a young Hayley Joel Osment. Even George Costanza's love interest was sporting a massive 80's hairstyle.
The cheesy romantic plot just floats past like a bloated, rotting corpse. By '96 we'd already seen just about every variation on this style of comedy about a million times. Jason Alexander is simply playing a toned down version of George Costanza... Blah, I wasted my time watching this and now I'm wasting more by typing about it. Awful film.
