I'll be seeing this one Monday night. I hope it doesn't suck too bad but I'm not expecting much. It was MIB 2 or Like Mike so I hope I didn't make the wrong choice.You made the wrong choice. Seriously.
I saw MIB II last night, and you could practically hear crickets chirping in the audience. Toss aside all the other baggage people are bringing to this discussion, all that matters is if it is funny or not. It isn't (IMHO, of course). It's an unsatisfying retread of the original. For the record, I liked the first one. The thread title nails it--MIB II is dull.
Like Mike is a slight kids' film, but it has more energy and laughs than MIB II. Really, I'm not joking. (The Powerpuff Girls Movie is better than either of them, FWIW.)
