Film Reviews by CM

Truly dreadful, a plot that might have flown if done as an indy is a leaden Hollywood fairy tale. We got it on the good reviews, but were appalled at its utter lack of any real feeling. Don Cheadle struggles, Adam Sandler whines, Liv Tyler twitters soothingly; the best part is the dental receptionist.

We like a lot of the old, clumsy, slapstick British comedies, but this version of 'The Goose' had been edited, with many of the best bits missing (teaching the German lads English pronunciation & idiom), so lacked flow & many gags.

The plot relies on coincidence piled on coincidence, & even great actors can't make it float, but it held our attention for the duration.
