This imaginative summer comedy from director Barry Sonnenfeld (Get Shorty) is a lot of fun, largely on the strength of Will Smith's engaging performance as the rookie partner of a secret agent (Tommy Lee Jones) assigned to keep tabs on Earth-dwelling extraterrestrials. There's lots of comedy to spare in this bright film, some of the funniest stuff found in the margins of the major action. (A scene with Smith's character being trounced in the distance by a huge alien while Jones questions a witness is a riot.) The inventiveness never lets up, and the cast--including Vincent D'Onofrio doing frighteningly convincing work as an alien occupying a decaying human--hold up their end splendidly. --Tom Keogh

Pure entertainment.......2007-05-12

I watch movies simply to be entertained. I don't want to bite my nails and I don't want to be taught a lesson. I just want to escape for a couple of hours. This movie gives me what I want.

Missed some great acting.......2007-05-05

Living Fossil's spouse here. Tommy Lee and Will are not the stars here-it's Vincent D'onofrio as The Bug, an amazing comic and scary performance by a vastly underrated actor, and one of my favorites.

As camp as Rocky Horror, as rompingly satirical as Monty Python; a keeper.......2007-03-24

I'm betting that this little movie will be combed over twenty years from now by film scholars, but in the meantime my wife and I love to watch it again and again, sort of like the way one will watch Casablanca or The African Queen or 2001, A Space Odyssey, or Alien, and a whole lot of others, over and over without getting tired of doing so, while always finding some nuance or angle, or a laugh, missed before.

This is at once a camp put-on of practically every B-grade sci-fi movie of the fifties, while paying reverent homage to the genre, and it cross-references other works, such as "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," as mentioned in another review, and the snappy dialogue of a Howard Hawks or Michael Curtiz movie of the forties. You watch it and you will find more.

The quick, witty dialogue and cuteness just add to the fun. Smith and Jones are a terrific stand up comic act, Linda Fiorentino spices it up, Tony Shalhoub might have stolen the show with his sleazy pawn shop owner cameo if it hadn't been for Vincent d'Onofrio as the big bad bug, a show-stopping piece of work if I ever saw one, and then there is Rip Torn in the unlikely role of the uptight Zed. Actually, Barry Sonnenfeld, the director, got fine performances out of his entire cast. It is hard to name one without naming them all, but I'll leave it there. And the music? Well, it's right out of this world, along with the makeup.

We don't buy many DVD's of movies, sticking pretty well to proven classics in the purchases we do make, so you can see what we think of this one; it's a keeper.

A movie worth watching!.......2007-02-19

A very good comedy, Men in Black sheds light on a secret government agency that monitors alien activity.
Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, Linda Fiorentino (who is HOT!), and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well.
The setting, the plot, the music, the humor, and the dialogues are all wonderful!
Overall, it is a movie worth watching, and even though quite silly at times, it will surely put you in a good mood!

Great movie made even better by Superbit.......2007-02-17

Mr. Jones' and Mr. Smith's chemistry in this movie is remarkable (and Rip Torn and Tony Shalhoub are great, too). I normally avoid buying DVDs of comedies because for me even the best don't always hold up well after repeated viewings (they get stale). This one definitely maintains its freshness.

I was skeptical about the "Superbit" version, given the over-hype of most video and sound technologies, but, since I was able to get it "pre-owned" at a good price, I figured "Why not?". Visually, it's stunning, and the audio is awesome. In the future, if there's a Superbit version of a movie I want to buy, that's the one I'll get.

Product Description

On the eve of Macau's handover to China, police officer Shing is having the worst time of his life. Suspended for suspected corruption, he tries to find solace with an elfin creature by the name of Yan, whom he just picks up. As he tries to smooth-talk her to bed, she suddenly snaps back with the biggest turn-off imaginable: that she is the daughter he never knew existed!While Shing desperately tries to hold himself together, his bachelor life inevitably falls apart as Yan insists on living under his roof. Together the two of them start roaming through exotic Macau, tracking down Yan's missing puppy and striving to acquaint with each other. No sooner has Shing grown into his new role as a father than he finds his hands full: when Yan is not fighting with his girlfriend Kate, she is being bothered by her dorky classmate Fai.
