    Trite, sophomoric, belittling, formulaic crap. Absolutely no redeeming qualities.

    This energetically acted, creatively directed comedy-drama has every ingredient for success except a satisfying finale.

    Even if the time were somehow right for a madcap comedy about terrorists, What To Do In Case Of Fire would still look pretty lousy.
