...brings us to the argument that the show's success is somehow dependent on all-male casting. Believing instead that the show's attractiveness is based largely on the polished talent displayed, I suggest that its humor arises chiefly from six elements: transvestism, sight gags, word play, non sequitors, wit and sexual humor...
...pervasive use of technological gadgets is often confusing, but the audience has an ally in the naive Robert Dean. Will Smith plays the role with boyish charisma and power, using his wit, charm and physical strength to elude his pursuers. Despite the subject matter of his last two movies (Independence Day and Men in Black), Smith proves that his appeal lies in his own acting abilities rather than his adorable extra terrestrial counterparts.
