When I heard about this movie I totally wanted to see it because I
thought that could be a nice and funny new comedy BUT I was awfully
wrong. I also wanted to watch it because on of my favorite actresses
Kaley Cuoco has got a major role and I thought she is funny in Big Bang
Theory so why should not she be in Penthouse, too? So I saw the movie
yesterday and it started very slow...

Honestly, I did have a feeling from the trailer that Fly Me to the Moon
wasn't going to exactly my style. But I had the opportunity to see it
today for free and I just wanted to give it a fair chance, I don't know
what's with this year, but it doesn't seem like all the animated films
are gold, now we had WALL-E and Kung Fu Panda, that's about it when it

I was not interested in seeing this movie as I thought it would be a
stupid teen story. My daughter went with her older cousins, she is only
16 and since the theater had strict security I was forced to go in as
her guardian. I am 46 years old and I laughed the whole entire movie.
By the end I was laughing SO hard that I could not take it anymore. I

A really nice movie. Clever, a lot of very very funny lines, and
uniformly strong performances. Better than so much of what is in
theaters, I can't figure out why this didn't open on the big
screen...oh yeah, it's for grown ups. Matthew Broderick manages to make
his wealthy spoiled writer/producer sympathetic, mostly because his
lines are so sharp, the character has...

in Sweden since 1991 so this film is listed as a co USA/Sweden

I think this movie is wonderful. Can't understand the low rating on
this site so far--I really wouldn't be surprised if those individuals
and industries who stand to lose profits from the revelations of the
movie, have voted negatively to artificially reduce its average rating
on this well-known site. I mean, jeez, the movie hasn't even debuted

Maybe it's somehow unfair that this movie was not distributed in the US
(yet?). I have seen much worse movies and comedies that had less fun in
them well distributed and promoted. However, I can understand the
hesitations of the distributors. 'Relative Strangers' plays in a genre
that has already squeezed all the juice, and makes no attempt to be
something different...

There is something both enchanting and disorienting about watching a
Christopher Guest film that features conventional camera angles and a
narrative structure. It is a brave, and ultimately, a rewarding choice
for a director who has built his impeccable reputation on the strength
of his mockumentaries.Like its predecessors Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mighty
Wind, F...

I think that Bill Plympton is one of the most original and talented
animators of all the history, and just like his other films and
animated shows, "Hair High" is enough proof of his unique vision and
talent. While it starts as a simplistic high school comedy (But without
any of the stupid clichés and stereotypes of this kind of films) it
quickly evolves into a b...

The First thing you have to know is that "Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital"
on ABC is a remake of the Danish mini-series "Riget" and "Riget II" by
Lars
Von Trier. So it's essentially a process of "translating" something for
the
mainstream. My main problem with this was that they didn't focused on all
the important things; it lost all the humor factor and it's special weirdo<...

This movie was in and out of Atlanta theaters in one week-what a shame!
It doesn't deserve the short run and bad reviews. All I can say is, if
you like romantic movies, try this one on DVD. Stateside has the kind
of sweet story that the critics usually hate. It's refreshingly
different from most romances. It avoids the typical formula. You know

I really love this version of the Pyramid Game Show. There were a lot
of neat celebrities and great contestants during its run. I first
caught a look at this version in early 2003 when it was on a local CBS
station. It was wonderful and I was overjoyed to discover it. Donny
Osmond was a wonderful host and he did a great job, as did Dick Clark
back when he had the show. I was al...

I believe that this was the most severely underrated film of 2002, and it
was also my personal favorite for a great year in film. Now, I sincerely
doubt that many moviegoers would consider this one of the year's best, or
even a great film, so this comes with a tentative recommendation. I
wouldn't
recommend this movie to just anybody, but I feel that fans of the prior

It's not as bad as some people say. Some of the jokes are worth a
chuckle. The acting isn't spectacular but not terrible. Although they
could have done a better performance. I think they should have gotten
Elizabeth Hurley to play Kirstie Alley's role. She wasn't very
convincing as a British sex bomb. You could kinda tell Rodney was

People never cease to amaze me. There are 29 quasi-unanimously negative
comments about this movie. Many all-time masterpieces have only 3 to 5
comments posted on this site. If this is such a forgettable trashy TV
movie (which it may be to many), why waste so much time criticizing
mediocrity? Why bother after wasting almost 2 hours of your life? Why
watch the movie at all? I saw...

Out of the many, many teen flicks out there today, I find this one my
favorite of them all. It stands above the rest mainly because it does
not take itself seriously. In the first, oh, five minutes of the film
you have: 1) A guy being sucked into a vortex when his girlfriend
breaks up with him and 2) A full-on song and dance number. Yes, this
movie is stupid, and it knows it.I ...

This is a feel good movie, not very deep BUT well conceived, written
and acted. DeVito is excellent as a failing marketing man being
transformed into a thoughtful, caring army educator. As important is
the film's excellent presentation and discussion of the works of
Shakespeare.No surprise, DeVito's self centered abrasiveness meets with antipathy.

I read Tom Robbins' EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES as a teenager. I loved
every word. It was sexy, funny, and full of glamorous scenery and
beautiful writing. But when I saw the movie, I could not believe what a
dull, sour, joyless piece of junk it was. How did this happen? I think
someone in Hollywood read this book and filed it under "GAY PRIDE --
WOMEN -- LESBIANS." (That's the...

Transylvania 6-5000 is the movie that my siblings and I make inside
jokes about and no one ever gets them. This movie is funny. The person
that wrote the highly retentive review above is lacking a significant

immaturity. OK, his mother may be really proud of him. However, the

This is a classic 70s/80s 'hot for teacher' movie about a teenage boy
whose sexy housekeeper seduces him. The plot, mediocre at best. The
acting, salvageable. The art direction...wait a second! This movie is
about recollecting those teenage years with your 70's glasses on, not
about quality film-making. It's about T&A and tan lines, cheesy dialog,
