"A terrifically entertaining combination of alien conspiracy fears played for laughs and French Connection-meets-Ghostbusters thrills... Men in Black is so much fun one is actually mildly disappointed when it ends."—David Hunter, The Hollywood Reporter
"Its attitude is poised somewhere between the deadpan ghoulishness of the Coen brothers and a Letterman-like sense of the absurdity of life in New York's rich multicultural stew."—Dave Kehr, New York Daily News
"Smarter, leaner, funnier, and more human than most entries in the genre."—Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films
Working for a highly funded unofficial government agency, Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) and Jay (Will Smith) are the Men in Black, regulators of all things alien on Earth. While investigating a series of unregistered close encounters, the MIB agents uncover the deadly plot of an intergalactic terrorist who is on a mission to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies currently living in New York City.
