Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop.
Rotten: To say this megamillion Bruce Willis vehicle doesn't fly is understatement in the extreme.

Swingin' on a Star
Back in college, I used to turn this movie on during my all-nighters. It put me at ease, and actually helped me study. Not sure why or how, but it worked. I have very fond memories of those years, and this movie's place in them. Bruce Willis probably looks back at this one and cringes a bit, but I think in too many ways we expect too much from that which is supposed to entertain us. Remember, folks, "the guy on the donkey's just a guy on a donkey."
Wow.
I personally think that this is one of the best movies I have seen, and I have seen very many. The plot is clever, the dialoge and puns are funny enough, and the soundtrack (noteably Swingin' on a Star) is to my liking. It is now one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite.
For the right mood only
This is one where you have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy. Don't take it seriously. Willis sings instead of timing himself with a watch, can't seem to enjoy a coffee without something happening, and a plot so strange its just funny to watch out of curiosity. Oh, and google the movie name to see a ridiculously funny poster of Bruce Willis. Makes me laugh every time.
