AICN Review
The masses almost always ignore what critics have to say. People love Will Smith, and will flock to anything he's in. Now this particular movie might not make as much as some of his past films but that's because its unusual premise might turn some people off.
Yeah, but the folks over at AICN are the movie geeks. It's not a site for paid critics, it's a spoilers site that gets advanced looks at movies from regular people invited to prescreenings and the like. Most of the time I find that, at least for me, they do pretty accurate reviews.
And yeah, critics can be way off about movies that end up being popular (which this'll surely be because of Smith), but this movie looks like it might be actually just a poor movie, popular or not. I hope I'm wrong, though, because like I said, it does sound interesting in concept.
