I am sorry to report that HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE is not worth even a $4.00 rental fee. I have always enjoyed the works of Harrison Ford but I must admit to be completely confused as to why an actor of his stature would agree to appear in a dud like this one.
The dialog is inane, the "jokes" don't work, and every buddy-cop cliche is re-hashed. The only redeeming value here is the appearance of two really, really sexy mature actresses -- Lolita Davidovich and Lena Olin, both of whom light up the screen. Unfortunately, as delightful as they are to look at, it's not enough to make up for the insipid plot and dull performances by the male characters.
Oh yes, I almost forgot -- the score gave me a headache.
CLAUDIA'S BOTTOM LINE: I'd rather spend the evening cleaning the crud out of my bathtub than watching this stinker.

How does a movie like this ever get released? Aren't there studio executives who actually screen the film before they allow it to be shown to the public? And isn't it their job to say "Hmmmmmm, this is one really bad movie. Maybe we should shelve it rather than try to cheat our customers out of a $9.00 admission." Taking money from people to allow them to see GIGLI borders on consumer fraud.
There were about twenty people in the theater when the movie began. Fewer than five were still there by the time this moronic piece of trash mercifully ended. One of the patrons "broke wind" rather loudly midway through the screening -- that event was the highlight of the movie-going experience and a welcome break from the on-screen action.
I would comment on the plot, dialog, acting, etc, but that would be a waste of bandwidth. Simply put, this movie smells worse than my underwear.

I thought "Bean" was a tremendously funny movie. Unfortunately, I never even got a mild chuckle out of "Johnny English" (well, during the first 45 minutes anyway -- I walked out of the theater at that point deciding not to waste any more time on this dud). I didn't really hear anyone else in the theater laughing either so it puzzles me a great deal to find reviewers here who actually thought this movie was funny.
