Men in Black (1997, PG-13)

Story: aliens exist in the universe.  A secret agency called the Men in Black protect Earth from these aliens.  The Men in Black are Special Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and Special Agent J (Will Smith).  A bad guy alien is trying to destroy Earth, so it's up to the Men in Black to save the world.

Men in Black is a fun, shallow movie that relies all too much on simple minded gags.  It was a big success at the box-office and received positive reviews because it was a fun movie.  It is quite a movie: humorous, crazy looking aliens, action sequences, big alien shooting guns, etc.  Anyway, it falls short overall, but I nevertheless had some fun.
