"Unfortunately--no offense, now--this is mainly a case of the Old Couple, given the mediocre direction of Howard Deutch and, mostly, the surprisingly bland script by Neil Simon."
Posted Sep 9, 2002
 
The Odd Couple II (1997)23%
/
 
"Not much of the humor works at all, and there aren't many sparks generated by the putative, last-reel lovers Wheeler-Nicholson and McCaffrey."
Posted Sep 9, 2002
 
Nick and Jane (1997)n/a
/

"Not only do we not care about Bean, we want him to just go away and not bother us anymore."

Bean (1997)36%

"The writers have sausaged the story (really just a situation) into simple and simplistic sitcom formula, which delivers some laughs."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dr. Dolittle (1998)44%
/

"If this movie were a sandwich, it'd be ham on white bread."

Great Expectations (1998)37%

"What's interesting is pretty much unintentional, centering in the film's performances, which are excellent indeed."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Home Fries (1998)32%

"A scream but no Scream, I Know is a clean, efficient horror picture out at the perfect box-office time."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)39%
/
 
"Boston has written some excellent characters, and under Antonio Tibaldi's astute direction, the actors are uniformly superlative, right down to the walk-ons."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Little Boy Blue (1998)29%
/
 
"Even in an 'off' picture like Mr. Nice Guy, it is impossible not to like [Chan]; he's so open and good-natured and takes pride in what he does."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mr. Nice Guy (1997)46%
/
 
"Director Tom Shadyac and screenwriter Steve Oedekerk have sleekly outfitted a sudsy feel-good formula into an entertaining holiday comic tear-gusher."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Patch Adams (1998)24%
/
 
"Species II may be notable only in that it is an extreme, sadly robust example of the troubling trend of modern horror films to give sex a bad name."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Species 2 (1998)10%
/
 
"It suffers, too, from what plagues the big, brawny action engines: The mechanics of the generic thrills and spills override the logic of the narrative."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
U.S. Marshals (1998)25%
/
 
"The problem here is pretty much everything."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
What Dreams May Come (1998)56%
