...varies in quality depending on the individual. Owen Wilson and Stiller both turn in excellent performances, and Will Ferrell and Jerry Stiller play their Bad Guy roles with professionalism and aplomb.

After the nice and not-nice E.T.s wow us with their first striking appearances, they have an obligation to grip us in slightly more profound ways. Although the cast, led by Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich, tries hard, they don't make a deep impression. "Like everyone and everything else in this movie, Willis runs hard and fast and with a certain style," notes Schickel. "But neither he nor his director can entirely disguise the fact that they are essentially running on empty, that the element missing from...
