Just my kinda thing! I'll be there for Will Smith every time, no matter what (okay, I admit I skipped After Earth), but when critics started complaining that this one was "old fashioned," I knew it'd be up my alley.

This is the writer-director duo behind I Love You, Phillip Morris and Crazy Stupid Love, both very solid films in my book, so my expectations were high -- and met. Just a good old fashioned con rom com, as it were. Adult oriented but nice and light. Smith is charming and sexy as ever, and Robbie is significantly less terrible than she was in Wolf of Wall Street, and quite a bit more attractive, too.

Nothing but a simple good time here, but well worth my money, and Smith's best in a while.

I gave in and watched this with my lady friend some time ago. It's not what I'd call "Movie theatre worthy" , but Will Smith, & Margot Robbie had enough chemistry to make it entertaining enough to watch.

The end? Eh, spoiler alert: he loses focus.

Bad Santa is still the best script the co-writers have done to date, in my opinion .

But like she said, Will Smith fans Will dig it.

fun fact: Will Smith was the front runner to play Django in Django Unchained but passed since Dr. Schultz was the character who kills Calvin Candie. I'm glad he passed though, Jamie Foxx was amazing.

Quoted from RichardD I'm glad he passed though...

Me too. I'm not a fan of Django. It was OK, but it would have been far, far worse with Will Smith in the main part. He's not even that black, he's clearly got white in him along the line somewhere which isn't likely from a black slave. Unless that slave had Asian in them I suppose. Usually though in the Muslim society back then, the lighter your skin, the less likely you were to be a slave. For me, the best actors were DiCrapio (deliberate misspelling for ironic effect) and Jackson.

Why would Tarantino even offer it to Smith? What sort of effed-up idea was that. The man (Tarantino) is losing it in my opinion. Too fat, too rich.

Apologies for the thread jack, Heretic. Easy to get it back on track again if you want to though.
