Movie Review: 'Woo'

It barely registered at the box office, but this broadly drawn blind-date comedy proves to be a rather amusing rental — provided you can handle Pinkett Smith’s in-your-face performance as the irrepressible Woo. Matched for the evening with a buttoned-down buppie (Davidson), Woo looks for fun in all the wrong places, leading to a brawl, a mugging, a car theft, and one Blake Edwards-like sequence in which a single tug on a chandelier rope trashes an entire restaurant. Woo’s brassily blasé attitude toward all the chaos she generates might be a tad off-putting if it weren’t for the city full of clownish would-be studs who get left in her wake. Woo go, girl. B-
