A friend of mine was giving away her DVD collection recently. Free Robin Williams DVD? Yes please!!
Why had I never bothered to see this movie before? Because it looked really dumb. But hey, I love Robin so this should be a fun watch, right? Wrong. It really was really dumb. So so bad. Williams couldn’t save it, even with an assist from the always loveable John Krazinski. The plot was dumb, the humor was half baked, it was just bad. I got the sense that Williams was holding back, not giving us his zany self and genius adlibs, but trying to conform to a specific character and it was stiff and weird. Such a bummer. |
