The Love Guru (2008) Se Fuld Film

At least it doesn't waste any time. At somewhere near the 30-second mark, it gets right down to business, and that business is the kind of humor that doesn't usually get named in this paper.. Mike Myers' new comedy, The Love Guru, is a disappointment, but it's not a disaster, and that's at least something.. If you're in the mood for a delightful tweak of today's self-actualizing New Age gurus, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you want to see gags about boogers, elephant poop, and mano-a-ma...

Shaolin Soccer (2001) Online Streaming

May be the funniest out-and-out comedy of the summer.. I really like this movie. thank you. A very funny movie.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. A hoot from beginning to end.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Shaolin Soccer is one of those unlikely combinations, like Vanilla Coke or Christian rock, that fits so well, you're left wondering why no one thought of it before.. One o...

The Slaughter Rule (2002) Online Streaming

The lead performances could hardly be better.. This crude, inspirational tear-jerker is as sweet as a bowl of instant oatmeal smothered in molasses.. An amiable sentimental fantasy, joining running, religion and a boy with a whole lot of problems into an earnest production that entertains even as it milks some of its situations for all they're worth.. While Breakfast With Scot delivers the requisite humour -- not to mention some old-fashioned Christmas magic -- it stands apart for its hearty hel...

Here Comes the Boom (2012) Spille Film

For the most part, "Boom" lazily follows Adam Sandler's proven recipe for box-office success.. The film would have the same audience that came to see James get elbowed in the face also get weepy over disadvantaged schoolchildren.. The film works hard at its inoffensiveness. Throughout, jokes are left on the table, setups never pay off in any significant way.. Cage fighting is not inherently funny. In fact, it's the opposite of funny, something like cock fighting only with people, and this presen...

Full Out (2015) Spille Film

A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again S...

Cuban Fury (2014) Spille Film

It wants to be a feel-good movie, but it's really just a "feel-meh" flick.. It's not a bad gimmick, but the movie turns tediously sentimental fast.. Frost is credited with the "original idea," a fanciful phrase given the highly formulaic story, but he and Jones are charming together.. A rather unremarkable, if endearing, entry in the quirky rom-com genre.. Ultimately, the film rides on Frost, who carries it with charm, grace and plenty of heart.. Cuban Fury feels like the product of a computer p...

One Square Mile (2014) Spille Streaming

Relies on a ritualized filmmaking style that leaches [Redford's] story of excitement.. A lightweight, modestly engaging yarn.. An orgy of disco-era excess, it's also an interminable exercise in beating a dead horse.. . I laughed from start to finish at its relentlessly, energetically profane absurdity and a cast crammed with funny actors in even the smallest roles.. Another lusciously produced, emotionally clammy Redford enterprise -- forced, phony mythmaking filled with tinged sunsets and full ...
