(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   4/5 "With a clever, funny script and dead-on acting by title characters Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones at the heart of this hot weather gem, MIB gets it all just about right, succeeding at crossing the sci-fi and comedy genres."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 4/5 "At last, someone remembered how to make a good summer movie!"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "From here, the next step is easy: extraterrestrials are living among us."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs B "A fun movie."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 5/10 "The plot is paper-thin, characters are one-dimensional and even the protagonists' one-liners are forgettable."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov A- "The movie is fun. It's hard not to like it, because Smith and Jones have so much charm and charisma."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Those accepting Men in Black for what it is will likely agree that this is one of 1997's more satisfying big-budget offerings."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "One of the most enjoyable films of the summer."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/4 "A reasonably intelligent and fun comedy."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 7/10 "Overall, the film is easy enough to watch, short enough not to have you care about the lame 1-2-3 plot, and funny enough to make you smile if you're feeling blue."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 8/10 "There was never any doubt that Will Smith would be funny... What comes as a pleasant surprise is how funny Tommy Lee Jones is."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "Cool hot-weather fun -- this will be the one to beat right through the dog days of summer."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 6/8 "Ed Solomon's script, based on the comic book by Lowell Cunningham, is a barrage of funny lines and scenes of just how strange things can be dealing with aliens."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3/4 "It is a light and refreshing diversion, a perfect way to spend a few hours of your summer."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "I often feel like I see jokes coming a mile away in things purported to be comedies. In Men in Black, they snuck up behind me and tickled me."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "Smith's natural, infectious ebullience plays off well against the stoic Jones, who's at his deadpan best, engaging in some ridiculous situations with the straightest of faces."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/5 "Just a collection of sketches in which Jones and Smith run into farcical E.T.s."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B "This movie is a lot of fun, except that it has a little too much slime."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "A solid, entertaining, intelligent, and funny entry into the annals of this summer's moviegoing selection."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/4 "Good old alien fun"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson B+ "Smarter, leaner, funnier, and more human than most entries in the genre, relying less on spectacle than on the chemistry of the two leads and the wit of the script for its appeal."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
