Director Rob Cohen (Miami Vice, Daylight, The Fast and the Furious) and screenwriter Rich Wilkes (The Jerky Boys, Beer Money, Airheads) know their target audience and just how to target them.
Writer Rich Wilkes, who created the masterpiece known as The Jerky Boys movie, instead makes Xander kill a guy with a cigarette-smoking nemesis and clumsily pronounce, "I told him that cigarettes would kill him" - not exactly the next "Hasta la Vista, Baby".
It's too bad that the actor doesn't have a better script - from screenwriter Rich Wilkes ("The Jerky Boys," "Airheads") - or better work from Cohen ("Daylight," "Dragonheart") behind the camera.
