A snooty admissions officer puts her career on the line when trying to get the son she secretly gave up for adoption accepted into Princeton. This is 117 minutes of prefabricated shit for people who are constipated. The performances are uniformly lazy; not for one second do Tina Fey and …
Comic Steve Martin and director Carl Reiner hash over roughly the same idea of their previous The Man with Two Brains. The beautiful body with the ugly personality remains constant, except that the body in this case is Victoria Tennant's instead of Kathleen Turner's. But the beautiful disembodied brain has …
Another cast of characters (but not cast of actors) rounded up in TV re-run heaven (or the Other Place) and brought back to life. Why? To what purpose? For whom? The how of it offers no clue. Dialogue excerpt: "What's smog?" And after a pause for the "Final Jeopardy" melody: …
The gimmick of mismatched twins separated at birth: if it was funny before (Start the Revolution without Me), perhaps lightning could strike again. Or if not a bull's-eye, at least somewhere on the target, say about the first ring from the outermost. That would be, and is, not bad at …
Amorphous, garrulous, largely improvised, largely sedentary companion piece to Smoke, centered again around the Brooklyn Cigar Co. (Harvey Keitel is the only returning big-name star, so you get to hear the word "Auggie" spoken aloud another thirty or forty times.) Co-directors Wayne Wang and Paul Auster should have quit while …
Following the lead of the Vito Russo book of the same name, documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman propose to trace the whole history of the depiction of homosexuality in American movie houses. The outcome is highly entertaining in the usual way of compilation films in the vein of That's …
This is perhaps, just barely, recognizable as the work of the Spanking the Monkey man, if not for its gerundial title, then for its morbid fascination with family dysfunction. David O. Russell's move into or toward the commercial mainstream, though, has meant an accelerated, assembly-line manufacture of jokes, and damn …
A modern dress mutation of High Noon with a pro-life message substituting for the “real time” western’s obvious allegory against blacklisting. Instead of a cowardly Marshal soliciting the aid of local townsfolk (including his girlfriend!), storming granny Lily Tomlin races against the clock, going hat-in-hand to various guest stars (including …
A self-declared Existential Comedy revolving around the personal crisis of an environmental activist (Jason Schwartzman), currently getting squeezed out of the Open Spaces Coalition by his duplicitous but much better-looking and more charismatic colleague (Jude Law), who is literally sleeping with the enemy, the cheerleader-perky spokesmodel (Naomi Watts) of the …
Comedy remake of a classic Fifties sci-fi thriller, with a King Kong motif tacked on toward the end, and a last-gasp intimation of Attack of the 50-Foot Woman. Any good taste exhibited in the choice of source material is evident nowhere else. Except for the passable special effects and the …
A blunt and downright rude image consultant (Bruce Willis, smirking with impunity) confronts his stifled Inner Child -- literally -- when his eight-year-old self, or in other words his self of thirty-two years earlier, suddenly pops up, pudgy, mop-headed, mush-mouthed, in a loud red windbreaker, and without even the flimsiest …
