This movie is completely insane. It has an all-star cast for no reason (Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox, Natalie Portman, Glenn Close, Annette Benning, Danny Devito, Jim Brown, Pam Grier, Jack Black, Christina Applegate, Martin Short). How did they all agree to be in this lunacy? Why Jack Nicholson plays two roles? Why is Tom Jones one of the heroes? Why is there obvious stock footage? So many questions. Characters are introduced solely so they can be killed (but not in fun, funny, new, or interesting ways). It's just untethered jokes and gags (most of which are funny at-max once) OVER AND OVER again. I just re-watched it thinking I may have been too young to understand the subtlety...NOPE. It's the only Tim Burton movie Johnny Depp has ever turned down...that's all you need to know about this mess of a movie.

I'm not sure where to post this, but at one point Carlos takes Kaya to an inconspicuous dock, they walk into an unmarked building and inside is a SECRET LATINO DANCE CLUB in order to loosen Kaya up. This also happens in Along Came Polly, Celeste and Jesse Forever, and Dirty Dancing. My question is: Secret Latino Dance Club: thing? or not a thing?
