Review of Mr. 3000 (2004) by Brian P — 12 Mar 2005

[font=Comic Sans MS][size=4][color=darkorchid]Bernie Mac has this charm about him that even when is is playing a world class arrogant jerk, he is still likable. That is amazing. However, in the evolution of the story. Stan's (Mac's) introspection of the man he was in his youth is effective and at times poignant. Mac as Stan is smart and gradually sees the impact of selfishness on his teammates in the past and present. Another great touch is Michael Rispoli as Stan's one loyal friend, Boca, who finally points out to Stan that he loves him, because he can always count on Stan to do what is right for Stan, regardless of anyone else.

[font=Comic Sans MS][size=4][color=darkorchid]Bernie Mac is wonderful here. "Mr. 3000" is that cool fantasy movie where one gets to atone and correct for being young and stupid. And I guess we all continue to do this is some way or fashion. "Mr. 3000" also does this with a sense of humor. [/color][/size][/font].

[font=Comic Sans MS][size=4][color=darkorchid]A nice surprise. And well worth the watch.[/color][/size][/font].
