Reviews


100
USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna
The snappy sci-fi hoot Men in Black...is a kind of "Independence Day" for smart people.
90
Slate - David Edelstein
The smartest, funniest, and best-looking sci-fi comedy since the movies learned to morph.
88
San Francisco Examiner - Unnamed
The script by Ed Solomon is tight, well-paced and lighthearted. If this were a musical, Fred Astaire could have played the Jones role, although somewhat more dashingly.
80
Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
Don't expect any psychological depth here, but the cool wit and fun... are deftly maintained, and Sonnenfeld provides a bountiful supply of both fanciful beasties and ingenious visuals.
80
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Sonnenfeld deftly orchestrates the intricate two-part harmony, and Smith and Jones -- a powerhouse comic pair -- make it all look easy.
