The bar scene when he has a smartness duel was straight Hollywood cheez.

That was the hook and the tagline - sadly, it is what people remember about the film.

However, the film's best scenes are with Robin Williams and Matt Damon (the 2 professional "actors" in the film) - if you can't watch it for those scenes and enjoy that chemistry - the film probably isn't for you (plus it is by far Affleck's best work - perhaps with Chasing Amy, as he was playing a somewhat duller version of himself, and not trying to be somebody he's not).
