Wild Wild West
1999
**
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Cast: Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh, Salma Hayek, Ted Levine

Barry Sonnenfeld and Will Smith, Men in Black collaborators, reunite in this misfiring western comedy which offers guns and gadgets but no coherence. The special effects are impressive and aplenty but the jokes are weak and the whole thing doesn't make much sense. Based on the television series The Wild Wild West which ran from 1965 to 1969.
