Mr. 3000 (2004)

I like Bernie Mac, but this film is lame. I mean, what kind of sad-sack underdog sports movie has its team fighting for third place? Jesus. And I know, the point is that Bernie learns to be a team player 'n' stuff. But I hold up the run-for-third as exemplary of the film's oh-who-gives-a-fuck spirit. For this film to try any harder at being mediocre, Griffin Dunne would have to direct it.

Grade: C
