Little Indian, Big City is one of the worst movies ever made. I detested every moronic minute of it…if you, under any circumstances, see Little Indian, Big City, I will never let you read one of my reviews again.

All books over five hundred pages that weren’t written by Dickens or a dead Russian are better left on the shelf.

I was so long writing my review that I never got around to reading the book.

(1890 – 1977) comedian, actor & television host

Reading Proust is like bathing in someone else's dirty water.

[Kevin] Spacey would have looked more believable playing Joan Rivers. I was convinced this was a science fiction film for a while because Spacey was wearing so much makeup I thought he was an android.

It resembles a tortoise shell cat having a fit in a plate of tomatoes.

The movie is too busy being thuggish bilge to note the irony of using every tank and missile at Ice Cube’s disposal to rescue a U.S. president about to downgrade defense spending.

English journalist

Elliot Gould!? What, were George Segal and Ryan ONeal unavailable? Was it “free cheese day” at the celebrity shelter?

American film critic

If you hear a door slam in the theater, you'll know that Elvis has left the building – in disgust.
