Evil, and the most nudity you've ever seen without actually being nudity." --, "One of the year's best comedies!" --, "Myers and director Jay Roach seem to have no sense of how long is too long to stick with an extended gag." --, "Mike Myers has created such an infectious, and joyful character, you will be forced to say, 'Groovy Baby!', at least once." --, "Myer's split performances, are extremely funny!" --, "Amusing but scattershot." --, "Its plot notwithstanding, it has nothing to do with Bond -- and it misrepresents the poor '60s as well." --, "If this were the Simpsons, I would have been rolling on the floor; it's not a parody, it's a fish out of water comedy with a splash of homage

But then, you weren't planning to see it anyway, were you?" --, "Bouncy and sweet, Aquamarine has a mild feminist bent that's played for laughs, but it's definitely a movie for the shallow end of the pool." --, " Aquamarine won't make the splash of Splash , but bless its little flippers, it tries." --, "The plot is predictable, the emotions are obvious, and the mermaid reminds me of my friend McHugh explaining why lobsters make ideal pets: They don't bark, and they know the secrets of the deep." --, "If you are now or ever have been a girl of 8 to 13, you'll be occasionally charmed by the giggly bonds of girlfriends and 'guppie love' the film portrays -- but also occasionally green at the gills." --, "In this sweet comedy for the crowd that has outgrown The Little Mermaid, two likable pals try to help a mermaid find love and learn how to use her feet properly." --, " Aquamarine is better than nothing for its woefully underserved audience." --, " Aquamarine 's modest charms make it an agreeable diversion for its intended demographic." --, "Both Roberts and Levesque are better known for their recording careers than their acting, and while they have regular-girl presence, their believability wavers greatly from scene to scene." --, "Sweet and sprightly in just the right measures, Aquamarine is one of the season's pleasant surprises." --, ( ) " Aquamarine isn't good enough to be a teen classic, but its audience will leave the theater happy." --, ( 1-35 ) of 79 , sorted by last name a-z Page > | Latest Posts on the Aquamarine Forum by 4 posts 6/20 by 1 posts 3/20 by 3 posts 3/1 Access Reviews and Articles for Aquamarine by ..

ninth symphony films - movie reviews BLACK KNIGHT (2001) | DIRECTOR - gil junger RATED - pg-13 GENRE - comedy LENGTH - 95 minutes RELEASED - 21 november 2001 DISTRIBUTOR - 20th century fox OFFICIAL SITE - ESTIMATED BUDGET - $50, 000, 000 BUY THE DVD: SYNOPSIS: martin lawrence plays jamal, an employee in medieval world amusement park. MOVIE FOTOS: RATING: two out of four possible stars Although the story isn't always the most unique or creative part of this film, fills this movie with enough comedy to overcome this shortfall. some of lawrence's comedy tends to be on the cliche side, but that doesn't mean it's not funny. The comedy sometimes was not enough to keep the film going after about an hour into the film. The people responsible for the script for this film were obviously not concerned with creating a film that would be admired both for its comedy and for being unique. Most of the time, Lawrence was able to perform his trademark comedy and make the audience laugh without requiring them to think

. However, when handed a bad script he can make such clunkers as "Blue Streak, " an agonizing mess of a comedy. There is some good fish-out-of-water comedy when he first lands in Medieval times, thinking all these knights and warriors are simply actors taking their jobs too seriously. "Black Knight" is a fun, surprisingly good-natured comedy that will keep you smiling

The Chateau (2002) THE CHATEAU Paul Rudd Romany Malco Rated 1 hr 31 mins Directed by Jesse Peretz Compare prices for The Chateau merchandise (New) (Used) SYNOPSIS Jesse Peretz follows up his subdued first feature, FIRST LOVE, LAST RITES, with this outrageous comedy, shot on digital video. a fluffy, flaky croissant of a culture clash comedy, barely substantial enough for a feature but just light and tasty enough to satisfy." --, "There's a spontaneity to The Chateau , a sense of light-heartedness, that makes it attractive throughout." --, "Halfway through the movie, the humor dwindles. It's replaced by some dramatic scenes that are jarring and deeply out of place in what could have (and probably should have) been a lighthearted comedy." --, "The Chateau has one very funny joke and a few other decent ones, but all it amounts to is a mildly funny, sometimes tedious, ultimately insignificant film." --, "Given too much time to consider the looseness of the piece, the picture begins to resemble the shapeless, grasping actors' workshop that it is." --, " The Chateau is a risky venture that never quite goes where you expect and often surprises you with unexpected comedy." --, "Thanks to The Château 's balance of whimsicality, narrative discipline and serious improvisation, almost every relationship and personality in the film yields surprises." --, "Nothing more than an amiable but unfocused bagatelle that plays like a loosely-connected string of acting-workshop exercises." --, "This painfully unfunny farce traffics in tired stereotypes and encumbers itself with complications ..

. The comedy from both comes from the fact that, from his perspective, Buddy's acting in a completely sensible manner. This is the essence of the "fish out of water" comedy, and something that is occasionally lost on other films in the genre. Ferrell's brand of comedy is based in part on the principle that yelling at just the right volume and pitch, at just the right moment, can be hilarious
ReelViews: Elling
. From a Scandinavian cinematic tradition that has spawned Ingmar Bergman and Lars Von Trier comes a decided change-of-pace: a lighthearted dramatic comedy with an upbeat tone and a running length that comes in at under 90 minutes. Here, they become Elling and Kjell, and their acting, combined with Naess' deft management of comedy and light drama, makes Elling an enjoyable experience
