I guess it's entertaining, so long as you don't think too hard. There are major plot holes, and a lot of corny moments. The climactic action scene is hilariously bad. There are some great secondary characters, but the two leads hardly even make sense. Portman's acting stinks, but everyone else in the movie is great.
