ZOOM Film Review - 8/9/06

Having seen Tim Allen in a shedload of comedic roles here we get him as an ex-super hero in a sickeningly family fun outing as he trades verbal blows with scientist Courteney Cox and backed up by Rip Torn (Doing his "Men In Black" role again!) and a Chevy Chase you would not recognise until you saw his name on the credits. The totally nonsensical plot has holes so big you could drive the bus from "Speed" through it and Keanu Reeves could wave! But as family entertainment it will hit the spot with family bonding, a few regrets and a couple of fart jokes. For a far more sassy teenage/kiddie super hero film I'd stick with Kurt Russell in "Sky High".
