That scrunching sound you're hearing is Dreamworks wringing the final drops out of this franchise.

Oh goodie, a cheeseball action flick with Cameron Diaz screaming the whole time. Geez, I guess miracles do happen.

I had to watch this trailer twice to make sure it's was as stupid on the second go-around. It is.

So the parents of a kid with Leukemia have another kid artificially created to act as a donor for the older child. The younger kid, the spare parts kid, is so used by her parents she's forced to sue them for emancipation.

Wouldn't the parents be brought up on child abuse charges?

Of course, the underlying aspect of this is abortion. This is why she says "its my body and I want to decide what to do with it." The extreme case used to propose the notion of a child's individual right to make decisions on their health care - meaning, abortion. You can't argue this character should be spared her parent's cruelty. Once the argument is won then it is extended on to other cases, like abortion. This is how legalities work and this is the point here. If the girl can say her parents do not have the right to demand she give blood transfusions or a kidney, in this extreme case, how can they demand she not get an abortion? The notion of children being given legal standing is goofy on its face given that they're children. Bring the parents up on charges and put the kid into a proper, loving home - movie done, another social agenda flick thwarted.

Now granted, I have not seen the movie and I'm basing my conclusions on the trailer and other information I've gathered from the marketing campaign, so I could be way off. I doubt it. I've seen enough of these social engineering movies to spot one when it comes by. Looking past my assumptions on the film's point, the work itself seems pretty stock stuff. Very conventional trailer, no signature design work and the dialog sounds very on-the-nose and forced. If I were a betting man, I'd say this has a very short run and is dispensed to the DVD shelves pretty quick.

Released at the height of Jim Carrey’s rise to fame this film tries VERY hard to be funny. It succeeds in being obnoxious more than anything else. Stanley Ipkiss (Carrey) is a loser who finds a mysterious mask which when worn turns him into his alter-ego, a green-faced trickster. Not Carrey’s best work, but not his worst. The film co-stars Cameron Diaz in the role that introduced her to a broad audience.
