	Dave Barry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barry was born in Armonk, New York, where his father, David Barry, Sr., was a Presbyterian minister.
		Barry's initial meeting and courtship with Michelle were, however, widely thought to have been dramatized in an epilogue to his novel Dave Barry in Cyberspace, but with names changed: Barry is cast as 'RayAdverb' (an anagram of 'Dave Barry'), and Michelle is represented as 'MsPtato'.
		Barry has defined a sense of humor as "a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason.

		Sonnenfeld, who had been earning extra cash as a cameraman on low-budget films, including pornographic ones, began collaborating with the Coen brothers on their first film, Blood Simple (1984), as a cinematographer.
		Sonnenfeld also lent his cinematographic talents to such films as Throw Momma From the Train (1987), Big (1988), When Harry Met Sally (1989), and Misery (1990), before making his directorial debut with The Addams Family in 1990.
		Unfortunately, Sonnenfeld's next stint as a director was Wild Wild West, a Western starring Will Smith and Kevin Kline that headed into the deep, deep South at the box office and the realm of critical opinion.

	Men in Black . Austin Chronicle . 07-08-97
		In fact, Men in Black opens with titles that are strikingly similar to Sonnenfeld's earlier film, as well as a jaunty soundtrack by Danny Elfman and an appearance by Carel Struycken (Addams' Lurch) as an alien, making it briefly feel like some sort of weird Addams offshoot.
		Sonnenfeld has created a series of alien gags that work 90% of the time; strung together like washing on a backyard clothesline, the film hops from joke to joke, enormously fueled by the obvious comedic synergy between its two leads.
		The pairing of Jones and Smith is one of the better duos to come out of Hollywood in some time, with Smith's wide-eyed amazement at the new and strange sights he encounters as an MIB deftly ricocheting off of Jones' craggy-faced, been-there-done-that stoicism.

	IGN: Featured Filmmaker: Barry Sonnenfeld
		Sonnenfeld's background touches made the film a hit with critics and audiences alike, resulting in huge box office returns.
		Sonnenfeld must have enjoyed working with Warburton (either that or Sonnenfeld lost a lot of money on the Super Bowl to the actor); the actor was cast in a prominent role in the September 11th-delayed film Big Trouble (2002) and also has a role in the upcoming Men in Black II as Agent Tee.
		Sonnenfeld was hoping to make a film based on his experience of making nine feature length porn films in nine days (one version of this story has it as six films in six days).

	Big Trouble \| movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		Director Barry Sonnenfeld exults in comedies built on inevitable calamity: In hits like ''Get Shorty,'' ''Men in Black,'' and ''The Addams Family,'' he excels at steering larger-than-life characters through increasingly extreme situations chilled to the temperature of matter-of-factness by his Hollywood cool.
		The story, based on Barry's 1999 novel of the same name and adapted (with some made-for-the-movies coarseness) by screenwriters Robert Ramsey and Matthew Stone, is about a divorced Miami newspaper columnist trying to relate to his sullen teenage son.
		Barry's point, I think, is that it's hard to be a family, but worth the trouble.

		Yet even cable-deprived kids should be attracted to the idea of a sci-fi western, from the director (with one of his stars) of "Men In Black," another movie in which a buddy duo competes, and wins, against a backdrop of spectacular special effects.
		To talk about him in the context of the film is difficult, because the film is different in the same way Barry Sonnenfeld has a different sense of humor.
		Barry said to me when I read the script [Smith adopts a higher, nasal voice], "Okay, if this is `Men In Black,' you're Tommy Lee Jones." It's a little difficult, because my instincts are naturally comedic.

		Sonnenfeld made his directorial debut with The Addams Family (1991), an ornately stylish film adaptation of Charles Addams' cartoons which, despite repetitious humor and a throwaway plot, earned over $110 million at the box-office.

	Wild Wild West . Nashville Scene . 07-12-99
		There's no denying that the picture is a mess; but speaking as someone who finds the "blockbuster rhythm" to be generally stupefying, there's some pleasure to be had in tuning in those rogue notes.
		The film arrives DOA in its first half hour, as Sonnenfeld and his team of screenwriters deliver not one, not two, but three consecutive action sequences set in crowded rooms with scantily clad women huddling in the wings.
		Once Sonnenfeld and master cinematographer Michael Ballhaus move outdoors, though, the brighter light illuminates the leads a little more--especially Kline, who is almost poignant in his portrayal of a wide-eyed gadget hound and "master of disguise" who doesn't even know what a woman's breasts are supposed to feel like.

		Ah, but destiny (as it always does) intervenes, and before he knows it, he's involved with a suitcase that carries a bomb that bears a striking resemblance to a garbage disposal.
