*edit*

Sorry. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............

It's written on the wall of the daycare center at which Will Smith's character drops his son off everyday. He tells them they need to fix it to say "happiness" and they never do it.

Oh, well at least it does serve a purpose then. I though it was just to differentiate the movie from the band.


Either way,

Get this, p33ps...not only did Loog slag DBT in the review he posted, but he texted me the other day raving on and on about how GREAT he thought this Will Smith sap fest was!!!

I think we have a body snatchers scenario on our hands here, folks. Did anyone who went to his wedding see a 6'9" pod?

To quote the guy on the other end of the phone with Jimmy Conway in Goodfellas as he's finding out Tommy just got whacked:


"He's gone"

"Whaaaatdaya mean?"

"Ya know, hee's gone, and there's nothing we could do about it"

Most of Smith's movies are lightweight, but the dude himself seems mighty levelheaded. Seems like a good guy.

Plus my daughter thinks he's hott, so I gotta be lenient on the hate front.

.


The seems like a good guy remark makes me think of that scene in Tommy Boy, where Farley says that Dan Akroyd seems like a good guy, and Spade sarcastically says it back to him.

As usual, you people believe whatever lame-brained lummox force feeds you his lies.

I said that this movie was a predictable, Horatio Alger type flick, and a bit sappy, but decent for what it was. And, that was mainly due to Will, whom I happen to like.

He makes money on his own terms and occasionally fires great lightweight fare like MIB (the first one) or misfires interestingly, like Ali.

Also, any of y'all little niggas think you can hang with me, you'll be holdin my fuckin pocket and answering to "Bridget."
