Woo

(New Line)

Jada Pinkett Smith's Darlene "Woo" Bates is a sassy New York party girl who agrees to go on a blind date with stuffy-yuppie law clerk Tim (Tommy Davidson). It's not exactly love at first sight: she indirectly gets his car stolen, and she doesn't appreciate his effort in treating her to fine Italian cuisine. Directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer (Party Girl), Woo offers endless slapstick gags that are lame and obvious.
