Leonardo Da Vinci (Stefano Molinari) is rushing through his Mona Lisa painting to work on his latest invention -- a machine to turn lead into bronze. But Da Vinci makes a mistake and, instead of bronze, the machine

This unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop.

To say this megamillion Bruce Willis vehicle doesn't fly is understatement in the extreme.

A crafty satire, but with a swashbuckling soul.

There was a brief time when a new Michael Lehmann film meant something positive. I know, hard to believe.

A delightfully outlandish vanity film, capable of eliciting giggles, groans, guffaws, and gagging frequently in the same fanciful instant.

so implausible and so over the top that it lets inconsistency roll off like water on a duck's back

The hate this movie gets is insane, just a circle-jerk of critics mostly. Is dumb but has plenty of fun moments. Sandra Bernhard and Richard Grant as villians? That alone makes this work, bad jokes and Bruce Willis singing included.
