I'm not sure exactly why other reviewers tend to critically pan this film. Sure, it isn't deep or thought provoking, but it is fun and entertaining. It ranks right up there with Adam Sandler's other silly films. Having grossed more than $100 million at the box office, the film is definitely a success in the eyes of moviegoers. I happen to agree with movie fans rather than the critics on this one.
"I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" stars two of the funniest actors around – Adam Sandler and Kevin James. Throw in Steve Buscemi and Jessica Biel and this film is half way there to great success. Unfortunately, the plot is a bit weak. But let's be honest, we are not really watching this film for a plot. We are watching for laughs. And in that regard, the film ...

There is no denying it, this is just a crummy film. I was surprised when I learned that the film was released in 1996. Despite starring Russell Crowe, I had never heard of this film. It has been lost in obscurity since its inception. I'm not sure how Sony came about releasing this film on Blu-ray. I still think the studio has a giant wall of movie title names and they just throw darts at the wall. It just so happens that this time the dart landed on "No Way Back."
The plot of the film is a complete joke. The audience is not privileged to any more information than the actors are. That is not the issue. The issue is that the audience is able to figure out the entire film from about five minutes into the film, yet the ...

Mel Brooks is the father of parody films. He created the genre and turned them in laugh riots. Brooks struck it big in 1974 with "Blazing Saddles." The film has become iconic in cinematic history. Brooks followed up his successful feature with "Young Frankenstein," "Silent Movie" and "History of the World: Part 1." In 1987 Brooks turned out another classic, "Spaceballs."
"Spaceballs" is the most memorable parody on the beloved Star Wars saga. The film is full of inside Mel Brooks' jokes and terrific acting by some top-notch actors. Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman and John Candy lead this comedic cast.
In "Spaceballs," Planet Druidia is in trouble as Spaceball City plans to suck all the fresh air from the planet and transfer it to Spaceball City. President Skroob (Mel Brooks) hires Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) to capture the princess of Druidia. On ...

"Confessions of a Shopaholic" had potential, but unfortunately, it doesn't know what direction to take. The film is a farce on shopaholics that attempts to treat it as a serious condition, but ends up falling flat in between the two outcomes. Despite a tremendous effort by a very talented cast, the film fails to capture the audience and provide much of any entertainment.
I had hope for this film when I learned that Isla Fisher was going to play the lead role. She was an absolute delight in both "Definitely, Maybe" and "Wedding Crashers." However, even the warm-hearted Isla Fisher could not pull off this film. Her opposite in the film is played by Hugh Dancy. The two don't really display that chemistry on screen that is needed and thus we don't really care about their relationship.
There are a large handful ...

"Striking Distance" is a 1993 Bruce Willis movie that has faded into obscurity. But is it really as bad as everyone says it is? The answer is yes, and no. By present action movie standards the film is corny and simple, without any real good action sequences. However, the film is not an insufferable bore to sit through.
There are a lot of films out there that never grab an audiences' attention. "Striking Distance" does have the ability to grab, but somehow the filmmakers constantly let it slip through their fingers. The plot is entirely too simple that even a toddler could have predicted the outcome. At the same time, some of the plot motives feel stretched without any basis for their existence. On the plus side, the film flows rather well. Sure there are lulls, but for the most part ...
