Personally, I think Barry Sonnenfeld's films are the damned funniest things out there today, and this one is no exception. I don't know why his films are critically reviled, but they make me laugh out loud...and often. Most certainly, there is the infamous "shit shower" scene that could most definitely be categorized as purile (which normally I despise), but here...I don't know why, but it's funny. Perhaps it's Robin Williams, whose work at the turn of the millennium turned less manic and more acerbic, and here he's spouting a few rapid fire one-liners and zingers. The only thing I didn't care for was the song and dance number at the end...it's bad. REAL bad. But anytime I watch this film, I'll just turn it off before that part...and voila! Jeff Daniels has a few good lines in here, and (to me, at least) Cheryl Hines and Will Arnett are some newcomers who prove to have very malleable faces. If you've seen "The Addams Family", "Addams Family Values" or "For Love Or Money", "Get Shorty" or the "Men In Black" series, you know what to expect from Barry Sonnenfeld. In my opinion, that equates to "A Good Time".
