I really enjoyed this movie and it did remind me of the original "Rush Hour" i.e. a fun balance between action and comic exchange between two very funny actors. The on-screen chemistry between The Rock and Seann William Scott made each scene funnier than the last.
Forget about what you think of The Rock as a wrestler. This is a movie, and he does a fine job of acting. He has come a long way from "The Scorpion King", and this film is a perfect role for him. His mixture of action, facial expressions and comic timing are perfect.
Scott has moved far beyond his role as Stifler. I hope there is not another "American *" film because he needs to distance himself from that character. He is far too good an actor to be type-cast as the Stifmeister. The only problem is that 'Stifler' is easier to say or type than 'Seann William Scott'. Hmmmm, maybe he should shorten his name.
Christopher Walken is a hoot in this movie. He does not have a lot of screen time, but when he does show up, he certainly lives up to his image of "coolest guy in the world". He never takes himself very seriously, and has fun being the bad guy. I kept waiting for him to come out with "You amuse me Mr. Bond" You almost want him to win.
For those of you who have given this movie a poor rating without even seeing it - shame on you. |
