The downside
to writing a review of this film is that I will
have that dang theme song stuck in my head all
day now...I'm already envisioning Will Smith
bouncing around singing "Wild Wild West..."
Still, since that was pretty much the highlight
of this film I guess I should be grateful.
While I certainly admire Will Smith's energy and
enthusiasm, do you get the feeling that at some
point during this filming he looked around and
said "What the heck am I doing in the middle of
this garbage...Am I really this desperate to
sell more records?" Kevin Kline, who I adore,
has made enough clunkers that we should be used
to it by now.
Once in awhile, it just seems he has this
spiritual need to make a completely trashy film.
He succeeds here. And, who was the brain who put
Salma Hayek in the middle of a Western? Yes,
she's adorable...yes, she can act...but, in a
Western?
I question many of the choices Barry Sonnenfeld
made in this film, but mostly I have to question
why the producers chose Sonnenfeld to direct
this film. He clearly wasn't up to the task.
With the talent present here, this film should
have been MUCH better.
