"Adam Sandler fans are sure to enjoy this no-brainer comedy, but everyone else is strongly advised to proceed with caution. Before scoring a more enjoyable hit with his 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer, the former Saturday Night Live goofball played Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered guy whose dreams of hockey stardom elude him. But when he discovers his gift for driving golf balls hundreds of yards, he joins a pro tour to win the prize money n ..."
"Murder, She Wrote 2019 Wall Calendar features scenes and characters from the classic television series. Award-winning superstar Angela Lansbury portrayed professional writer and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher from 1984 to 1996 in Murder, She Wrote. Mrs. Fletcher, who lived in the idyllic town of Cabot Cove, Maine, was gifted with a seemingly limitless number of friends, colleagues, and relatives to visit, most of whom were accused of m ..."
"Blaxploitation movies deserve a good spoofing, and Undercover Brother tweaks the subgenre with a few good laughs. But what might have been an Afro-centric Austin Powers (adapted by John Ridley from his Internet film series) is instead a lackluster comedy with one basic joke: "Whitey"--personified as a faceless corporate despot known as "the Man"--has the power, but black folks have soul. With enough funk to make Shaft look passé, Eddie ..."
"Watching this director's cut, it's finally possible to see why the studio made Spielberg mercilessly hack up this comedy: it's a screaming movie (everyone screams a lot), and screaming movies do not need character development. So all those character-development scenes hit the cutting-room floor and, surprise, they were all critical to Spielberg's pace for the humor in this film. The screaming wasn't that funny then--and it still isn't-- ..."
"Jim Carrey ist wieder in Top-Form nach dem schlimmen Aussetzer Cable Guy - Die Nervensäge. Als Rechtsanwalt, dem es 24 Stunden lang praktisch unmöglich ist, zu lügen, nachdem sein Sohn einen magischen Geburtstagswunsch geäußert hat, lernt Jim Carrey ein paar brutale Lektionen über den wahren Sinn des Lebens. Die Handlung ist ziemlich dürftig, aber Carreys gummiartige Verrenkungen und Slapstick-Kunststückchen liefern genug Komik, dass ma ..."
"Basierend auf der Bestseller-Autobiografie Das wunderbare Überleben von Wladyslaw Szpilman erzählt Ausnahmeregisseur Roman Polanski eine wahre Geschichte aus dem Polen der Nazi-Barbarei und kehrt 40 Jahre nach seinem oscarnominierten Regiedebüt in seine Heimat zurück. Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung steht der gefeierte jüdische Konzertpianist und Komponist Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody). Mit dem Einmarsch der Nazis in Polen, beginnt auch ..."
"Filmmakers often remark that it's just so hard to make a bad picture that few would take on the challenge if they weren't so naive. Steve Martin's Bobby Bowfinger is cut from that pattern, one of those sweet, indomitable operators of Hollywood who seem to be descended directly from Ed Wood (of Plan 9 from Outer Space infamy). To resurrect his ramshackle existence, Bowfinger opts to film his accountant's sci-fi spectacular, Chubby Rain, ..."
