Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith star in this amazing sci-fi/comedy about two undercover agents who specialize in the monitoring of alien activity on the planet earth. You're probably thinking that they must not have a very busy job; who ever heard of an alien on the planet earth? Well, they are really all around us; they're just in human disguises. Tommy Lee Jones' and Will Smith's first assignment together is to make sure the evil alien (known as "The Bug" who is an over-evolved cockroach) doesn't get a hold of the galaxy and make sure that it's safely returned to the rightful owner of outer space. (If you don't understand this, just see the movie and you'll get it). Men in Black is usually hilarious and is full of great action scenes and spectacular special effects. A must see!
