        I think it did.

        But I grew up watching the TV show, and others like it (Get Smart), and appreciate the style of humor.

        I think the divide on this is knowing what that genre is about, and some people just don’t appreciate that kind of humor.

        I get it, I like these movies/shows, but don’t like the 3 Stooges.

        So I just watched it for the first time earlier this year and honestly it wasn’t bad. It’s cheesy (and by most measures not a great film), but it was genuinely fun to watch.

        Eh, I never saw it as a kid, and I watched it recently… imo it’s a decent action flick. It barely makes sense in more than one way but I still enjoyed the ride

      Me too! I saw it in theaters and cracked up the whole time. Haven’t watched it again since then, but I did listen to an interview with the director who essentially disowned the movie. He said something to the effect of: “the couple of moments that were cute were not worth the overall quality of the film.” He said Klein and Smith had no chemistry. He also basically confirmed the Will Smith MIB fart rumor in the same interview.
