Review of Woo

Woo (1998)
Okay concept but I hardly laughed.

I thought this movie was a bit all over the place. The concept was fun, but wasted on a weak script.

I stayed up late to watch this because it looked like fun, but I hardly laughed.

Good points: The stolen car. Tim uses his remote to activate car alarm to discover the alarm is the only thing left.

I also like the scene in the hidden club when Woo starts getting down and Tim hasn't got a clue what to do, then asks her to dance at the wrong time.

Not so good points: I also think Jada Pinket was the wrong choice for Woo. Not foxy enough, or funny enough. There are many funny great looking young black actresses in cable TV sitcoms who could have caned that part.

Don't need to see it twice. Look forward to a remake, with a stronger script in fifteen years or so.
