If Chan, who has a light comedic touch, had starred, the movie would most likely have been a lot more entertaining than it is. Of course, Adam Shankman probably still would have directed, so all bets are off. Shankman has no discernible style, no signs of skill at comedy; “The Pacifier” looks very much like an expanded episode of a fairly dull and ordinary sitcom.

No, it wasn’t written as the theme for the horror movie of that name – although, come to think of it, that would have been appropriately alarming. No, the tune was composed for "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," an offbeat 1971 musical factory based on Roald Dahl’s children’s book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

Foxx was the focus of hundreds of entertainment news reports leading up to the Oscars and the producers of the Barbara Walters interview specials and the execs at ABC were so sure Foxx would take home Oscar gold that they slated an interview with him to run after the airing of the awards show. With Foxx taking the award for best male actor in a leading role this year, it was no surprise that memories of his past have resurfaced in a big way. “In Living Color,” a show that Foxx was a ...

For those of you out there who can’t get enough of reality television and also for those of you who really can’t stand it, there is something for both of you in this latest offering from the people at National Lampoon. Ostensibly this is a collection of failed reality shows that no network would air or even buy. As a small disclaimer, there is never any indication whether these are the actual pitch demos or not, but no one in them is recognizable and perhaps the only thing that even makes this an issue is the sheer ridiculous nature of the featured programs. In other words, it seems, sadly, that these are all real and not faked by the goofballs at National Lampoon.

Bright, funny, colorful, it has an appealing cast, terrific songs (at least one, "Hey There," is a standard), and lively choreography by Bob Fosse. This really is the kind of movie they don't make any more; when musicals do turn up these days, they're mostly on television, mostly remakes, and mostly rather lifeless. The Pajama Game bursts at the seams with life and vigor.
