This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Dialogue is repeated due to lazy writing. 'Funny' moments are always awkward and never funny. Action- packed moments are filled with paper-thin CG. Tommy Lee Jones is utterly under-utilized, his part in the film is essentially a cameo. Emma Thompson's part has the same problem. Josh Brolin delivers a good performance as always, but there's only so much you can do with a poorly- written character. The story is as ridiculous as it is contrived, and while that was one of the great things about MIB (the original), surprising your audience with a story so insane it's simply fun only works once; you can't repeat that practice and expect good results. I'll always be glad I didn't waste money on this in theaters and simply end by saying, 'what a piece of crap.'

I had heard from several people that this show was "amazing," "funny," and any number of other wonderful adjectives. So, why had I never heard of it? It has been running since 2005 after all, and this is 7 years later. Well, Netflix supplied the answer with 5 episodes of the most recycled, predictable garbage I have ever seen on television. I didn't laugh a single time, accurately predicting almost every encounter in the first few seconds and staring at the screen in baffled wonderment. How is this show popular?! This show is essentially THE prime example of our American pursuit of laziness. We don't dare watch a show that challenges our thinking or is interesting in any way, we just want to watch the same crap that has been on TV since the first fart joke debuted.

I digress... This show was trashy, boring, insulting to the intelligence of a kindergartner, and poorly executed at that. In short, an epic piece of utter trash that I will avoid at all costs in the future. Others are of course entitled to their opinions, but for those unsure if they'd like to take a chance on it, don't! I would sincerely rather watch an infomercial; it would be funnier.
