Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Touching and thoughtful a more directed

divorce affects children but in a light hearted and entertaining way.There's some great...

Hugh Jackman had a great time as host of this year's Academy awards,
and so did we. His joy was infectious. The staging and set up is
probably one of the best I've seen in all my years of watching these
shows. The pre-show done by Jackman and Anne Hathaway was passable, but
the whole production came across as so real and human, it astounded us.

Say what you will about the marketing machine, but I truly think the
people behind promoting Baby Mama did a bang up job…even if I believe
they did so without trying. They make expectations so low in the
trailer that you almost have to enjoy the film. Was it a great comedy?
No. However, it was much better than I ever could have hoped as Michael
McCullers takes us places yo...

I really enjoyed this movie. I expected the worst because of many of
the comments here, but that's why they play the game, so the saying
goes...There were plenty of laughs and a simple but serviceable plot that held
together for the whole film. I personally don't think Martin was trying
to BE Sellers, but to do his TAKE on a character created by Sellers.
Think original Clouseau...

Cheaper by the Dozen II, like most sequels, wasn't as good as its
predecessor but was a safe movie bet, allowing you to fall back into a
familiarity of the first and have some more fun with it. It picks up a

oldest daughter is now married and pregnant and with everyone growing

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

`Bringing Down the House' is the latest variation on that old comic chestnut
in which a wisecracking, free-spirit type from `the lower social orders'
invades the life of an uptight stuffed-shirt type - not only getting him to
loosen up that collar and shed his inhibitions but also showing him a thing
or two about what really matters in life. This is, basically, a primer for

I have resisted watching this film for a long time; I remember cringing
when watching Steve Martin in the remake of 'Father of the Bride' and
did not wish to see an actor, I enjoy, suffering so again. Well this
also was not a patch on the original, but that said there was nothing
wrong with Steve Martin's performance; he does well with the material
as indeed do all the performe...

to revisit 'Bowfinger,' Steve Martin and Frank Oz's highly
under-appreciated satire of the side of Hollywood we mere mortals
aren't supposed to see.In Hollywood, there are no secrets--everyone knows who's secretly gay
or insane, and who's slept with who, when, where, and what they got out
of it. But no one ...

Although I was aware of the original plan to renew the Fantasia concept
every so often, and that it was visualised as an ongoing project, I felt
that going back after 60 years was too much, and that the original classic
should be left alone. However, my initial scepticism was dispelled within
seconds of the opening sequence. What we have here is a lush, vibrant fusion

For sheer spectacle, it's tough to beat the Bible. With "The Prince of

animated film that will compete favorably with the best Disney has to

As with "Antz," released earlier this year, DreamWorks has successfully
resisted the temptation to populate this film with characters that can be

This is actually a very funny movie, one of Steve's funniest movies - up
there with Father of the Bride.
All the characters, Dan Akroyd, Phil Hartman, even an appearance by Chris
Rock make this an extremely enjoyable movie. The Hover Tank was hands down
the funniest part. Steve is full of laughs in this movie and acts out the
character of Sergeant Bilko superbly.

I enjoyed this film, as I did Father of the Bride (1991), though I had
to suspend my credulity a lot. This film was less realistic than the
film it was based on, Father's Little Dividend (1951), with Spencer
Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. For example, it's unlikely that George
Banks, a highly successful business owner who obviously must
think through his decisions, would be so im...

This film has met with some very negative reviews but in my view,
'Mixed Nuts' is an entertaining comedy following the "adventures"
of a team of "lifesavers" who work at a suicide hotline. This film
follows their adventures on Christmas Eve with characters like a
homicidal pregnant woman, a transvestite, a murderer and a
Santa Clause with a gun. It's much darker than you would ...

I had never even heard of this movie until a couple of years ago. This is
yet another stellar movie from the tremendous class of 1994.I was absolutely enthralled by this story, so I went and read the novel it
was derived from, Silas Marner by George Eliot. It was a really good story
as well, but Martin's adaptation was outstanding. He managed to modernize
the story so it could b...

I can't believe how many people have missed the point of this movie.
This is one of those movies that you can't just turn your brain off and
watch. Every scene from beginning to end is intended to make you
question your own faith in God. It is filled with symbolism and should
be taken at a deeper level than just a movie about a con man who uses a
ruse of holiness to con people ...

department and this is no surprise why this film works (well for me it

Martin's...simply by using her wonderful imagination. After meeting him

The sweetness that "Father of the Bride" exudes does not stem from the fact
that it is funny, but rather because it is honest. It's a remake of the
1950s Spencer Tracy classic (which is great in its own right), but has more
warmth about it than that film did. It doesn't rely on slapstick as much as
it does on the realistic and ironic lead performance by Steve Martin. This
is Ma...

This is and will stay Hollywood's most criminally underrated movie about

No smart answers.
No solutions.
But every worth-while question gets its honest reflection.Sometimes sentimental.
Sometimes giving up on the unsolved future.
Sometimes kissing the brow of the undeserving.
Always scary and beautiful. I know, not really a logical ...

Outwardly, it's a ridiculous plot line. Steve Martin as the sensitive,
wacky weatherman... falling in love with a British woman and somehow
accidentally getting involved with the Sex in the City girl along the
way. The reality of it is, though, there are so many charming details
in the movie... vivid images and pictures painted in various scenes

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...

When "Parenthood" first came out, I did my level best to avoid it, certain
that it seeing it would be roughly akin to being embalmed with maple syrup.
Then came that dreadfully slow night at home a couple of years later, faced

and HBO showing -- oh, no! -- "Parenthood." So I clicked on HBO, gritted my

greet passers-by. Then Caine shoved cotton candy into a kids face while

suffered through the stuff he took me to. Not this one - we were both

Hollywood (and global) cinema to this film. CITIZEN KANE it may not be
