It was a surprise for me to see the Disney logo at the beginning of
Mars Needs Moms. I did not know that this film had been made by that
studio; I should have investigated that before. But either way...I was
already in the cinema, so I did not have any other choice than
"enjoying" the bland Disney sensibility, the expensive but cold
"stop-motion" animation a...

Pixars last three films have been genius on every level, and they hope
to continue this winning streak with toy story 3 and it just doesn't
deliver. I was a big fan of the first two movies especially the second
one for their heart and humor. This film relies too much on nostalgia
and sentiment and not enough on actual substance. There are a few
occasional laughs here ...

I'm not sure why people are giving this movie such a hard time. My
husband and I went in looking for a feel-good, wholesome, lighthearted
romantic comedy, and that's what we got.The actors were all terrific. The "chemistry" was there. The storyline
was interesting (not deep, somewhat predictable, but still pleasant and
interesting). I laughed and smiled a lot throughout the...

I thought this movie was a lot better than most movie critics are
giving it credit for. Though it has its confusing parts of the plot, it
doesn't greatly interfere with your understanding of the movie. That
being said, If you're not open to more liberal political ideas, then
this probably isn't the movie for you. I thought all the actors in the
movie were outstandin...

I work in a cinema so I'm in the perfect job not to miss any film
releases including minor ones like this film. I call this film a
"minor" release because it was not advertised much, just a trailer here
and there but it's the type of film that make me happy to work at a
cinema otherwise i would have miss out on this little treasure of a
film. The story is simple , a lon...

"Friends with Money" is Americana the sit-com way: it is about older,
(much) more monied, West Coast clones of TV's loathsome "Friends."
Although it appears a slow-mo imitation of Woody Allen at his talkiest,
the film does well. The reason: a quartet of actresses having a ball.Nicole Holofcener's script and direction are merely OK: a medium-funny,
not very insightful soap about thr...

This was a film with a somewhat interesting premise, a somewhat

was not a Pixar film: it wasn't designed to appeal to adults. Rather,
the writers focus on giving the kiddies a few laughs without leaving
the parents comatose with boredom.And when everything is taken into consideration, the writers succeed.

I loved this movie, and I don't know why the other reviewer did not.
Maybe said reviewer was not accustomed to viewing Disney movies, which
are generally cleaner and more family-oriented. The star of the film
worked her hardest against all obstacles to accomplish her goals and
realize her dreams, without throwing away her intelligence. She learned
that intelligence is not a bur...

When I first saw the trailers for this movie, I thought it might be cute,
but I had reservations because everything I've seen Kate Hudson in since
"Almost Famous" has been quite disappointing. This one, she finally picked
a winner. It didn't hurt that her costar is John Corbett. The two of them
actually have pretty good chemistry, and the three kids are cute without

I have to admit having approached this movie with as much trepidation
as anticipation. After all, Mel Blanc is gone, Chuck Jones is gone, and
the hallowed Looney Tunes franchise now resides in the hands of younger
players.Think about all the things that could have gone wrong. The voices might
not be quite the same. The animation might be done on the cheap, like a
lot of modern ...

This is, without a doubt, the best Muppet movie in a *long* time. And the
Muppets are back to zany form with parodies, such as "Moulin Scrooge",
taking place in their classic Muppet Theater. Most of the newer Muppets are
nowhere to be found, while older favorites have returned, and Fozzie has
been brought back to the foreground. Welcome back!The plot, basically a Muppet version ...

This is one of those movies where you feel "all is right with the world"
when it's over. It is inspirational - in the midst of the violence and
profanity that occurs in life, it reminds you that there are still good,
honest and decent people. I admire the fact that a wonderful movie was
created without nudity, very little violence or excess profanity (were

Having read the very good Nick Hornby novel of the same name I looked
forward to "High Fidelity" quite a bit, but I never expected it to be
as good as it is. This is easily one of the best comedies of all time
for its laughs alone - but what separates it from other comedies
(particularly new-age ones) is that it's a very poignant multi-layered
tale that focuses, primarily, on m...

Until Runaway Bride came on the scene, I didn't realize how dated Pretty
Woman had become! Fans of Pretty Woman will delight in the thinly veiled
references and homages that Runaway Bride serves up. This is a fun film,
very tongue in cheek in it's delivery. The first viewing of the film may
seem a little flat, but after watching it subsequent times, you get a
definite feel f...

Contrary to what you may think initially, nothing happens by coincidence on
`Arlington Road.' Outstanding performances by Jeff Bridges (As Michael
Faraday) and Tim Robbins (Oliver Lang) highlight this taut thriller about
terrorism in America, a disturbing film instilled with a sense of loss, fear
and paranoia. Director Mark Pellington perhaps does not mine this vein to

It's hard to think of a movie that divides its audience as deeply as
"Toys" does. Few people will say this movie is "fair." Instead, people
often call it the best movie ever made or the worst... and they mean
it! Even its severest critics grudgingly admit that it's visually stunning
and has perhaps the best soundtrack of the decade ("Happy Worker" is a
classic, and "At the Clos...

At the time of its release, I thought this might be Steve Martin's best
work. He's done so many good things that I wouldn't say what's his best
anymore but he is very good in here. His Italian hoodlum accent is
funny and the unique character he plays, "Vinnie Antonelli" is very
entertaining to see and hear.This isn't a laugh-out-loud-type of comedy but a pleasan...

this one is still more satisfying.Griffith is a little annoying as the giggly secretary with ambition,<...

This is a consistently funny story with some serious action scenes
thrown in here and there. That combination of mob movie and comedy
makes this a fun film to watch.l The characters in this movie are just
that: characters. Everyone is a little off, actually a little too wacky
for any believability. It's just a outrageous story played for laughs
with few things making sense ...
