Synopsis
They are the best-kept secret in the universe. Working for a highly funded yet unofficial government agency, Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) and Jay (Will Smith) are the Men in Black, providers of immigration services and regulators of all things alien on Earth. While investigating a series of unregistered close encounters, the MIB agents uncover the deadly plot of an intergalactic terrorist who is on a mission to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies currently in residence in New York City.
Review
Judging from what I've already watched from him, Men in Black is one of Will Smith's best movies. The movie was made out to be a film that focused on the plot in hilarious ways and it worked.
Will Smith is a terrific actor and so is Lee Jones, but Will is the highlight of the film.
Men in Black is a hilarious Sci-Fi film, one of the actual GOOD Sci-Fi movies, and I recommend it.
I'd give it a higher score if I actually remembered more about the film. It's been 4 years since watching it, and I might give it a rewatch.
Hopefully Smith doesn't slap me for not giving it a 10.
