If I ever do a festival of films that deserve to be overlooked,
Friends & Lovers
is my opening night selection.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Friends and Lovers”
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson star. … If I were taken off the movie beat and assigned to cover the interior design of bowling alleys, I would have some idea of how they must have felt as they made this film.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days”
Young men: If you attend this crap with friends who admire it, tactfully inform them they are idiots. Young women: If your date likes this movie, tell him you’ve been thinking it over, and you think you should consider spending some time apart.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Battle: Los Angeles”
It's the worst kind of bad film: the kind that gets you all worked up and then lets you down, instead of just being lousy from the first shot.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
Snake eyes
Spice World
is obviously intended as a ripoff of
A Hard Day's Night
which gave The Beatles to the movies… the huge difference, of course, is that the Beatles were talented — while, let's face it, the Spice Girls could be duplicated by any five women under the age of 30 standing in line at Dunkin' Donuts.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Spice World”
The movie has been signed by Michael Bay. This is the same man who directed
The Rock
in 1996. Now he has made
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Faust made a better deal.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen”
Watching
Mad Dog Time
is like waiting for the bus in a city where you're not sure they have a bus line.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
From “Mad Dog Time” review
Going to see
Godzilla
at the Palais of the Cannes Film Festival is like attending a satanic ritual in St. Peter's Basilica… it was the festival's closing film, coming at the end like the horses in a parade, perhaps for the same reason.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Godzilla”
You know you’re in trouble with a sequel when the word of mouth advises you to see the first movie twice instead.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”
The best thing about it is that it runs for only 75 minutes.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Deuce Bigalow”
The movie Ed Wood, about the worst director of all time, was made to prepare us for
Stargate.
– Review of “Stargate”
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Ed Wood”
“Stargate”
They say state-of-the-art special effects can create the illusion of anything on the screen, and now we have proof: It's possible for the Jim Henson folks and Industrial Light and Magic to put their heads together and come up with the most repulsive single creature in the history of special effects, and I am not forgetting the Chucky doll…
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
Review of “Jack Frost”
It was W. C. Fields who hated to appear in the same scene with a child, a dog, or a plunging neckline – because nobody in the audience would be looking at him. Jennifer Aniston has the same problem in this movie even when she’s in scenes all by herself.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Picture Perfect”
The movie is being revived around the country for midnight cult showings. Midnight is not late enough.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“The Beyond”
This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Freddy Got Fingered”
If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen”
I would rather eat a golf ball than see this movie again.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Seven Days In Utopia”
Add it all up, and what you’ve got here is a waste of good electricity. I’m not talking about the electricity between the actors. I’m talking about the current to the projector.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
Review of “One Woman or Two”
Dirty Love wasn't written and directed, it was committed. Here is a film so pitiful, it doesn't rise to the level of badness.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Dirty Love”
Perhaps it was made by beings from another planet, who were able to watch our television in order to absorb key concepts such as cars, sex, leukemia, and casinos, but formed an imperfect view of how to fit them together.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“Breaking the Rules”
To call
A Lot Like Love
dead in the water is an insult to water.
Roger Ebert
(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter
Reviews/Criticism
“A Lot Like Love”
