Mike Roseingrave’s review:
Ingredients
1 cup Ben Stiller (plain or regular)
1 cup Eddie Murphy (100% Norbit free)
1 ½ tablespoons Matthew Broderick (check the best-before date)
1 teaspoon Alan Alda (get the evil whole stuff, not the mash)
1 bunch of Generic Supporting Cast (the more eclectic the better)
1 heaped cup Generic Heist Plot Line (use an old The Italian Job if you've nothing better lying around)
100g Skyscraper Set Piece Action (with extra rope dangling)
1 Macguffin
Method
1. Just add water and kind of mush everything together.
Serves Fewer than the movie execs hoped.
Crew
Serves fewer, surely ;-)
Oooh, yes, true. My story is that I was thinking about box office take rather than numbers of people when I wrote it, and I'm sticking to that :-) Changing to fewer...
I suspect this review shows more flair than the movie it's about. :)
:-) thanks Michael. Actually, the review seemed obvious to me, seeing as the movie felt like it was made according to a recipe.
