Brilliant Modern Comedy.......2007-08-20

It's a rare occasion for me to find a comedy in the 2000's that ensues hilarity and doesn't let up on it one bit. Enter Super Trooper, a comedy in which five highway patrol cops do whatever it takes to save their police station. However, these cops are rather inept and are always beaten by the neighboring patrol. Just by watching the opening scene, when the highway patrol deals with these stoners, you'll get a sense of what you're in for. The standout character is definitely Officer Rod Farva, the most inept out of all the patrol, and the one who is always getting into trouble. I'm not going to explain this any more, since I don't want to spoil the movie for you, but if you're wanting a comedy that is truly deemed to be a classic, buy this movie. Or rent it. Just watch it.

Feel good movie.......2007-08-15

Great flick to watch with your buddies! It is hillarious. Definitely Jay Chandrasekhar's BEST movie.

More cliched cop comedy.......2007-07-13

The best thing I can say about this movie is that at least they didn't use the cops and donuts cliche. Every other cliche was thrown in from both police movies and fraternity movies.

"wee little shenanigans!".......2007-07-08

I thought this movie was ok the first time I saw it, but it really grew on me with repeated viewings. A goofy, off-beat movie that's just good mindless fun!

Not quite funny, entertaining, or clever enough.......2007-06-05

Besides the opening and ending scenes, this movie is full of mediocre one-liners and wacky antics that just aren't funny enough to warrant an hour and a half of your life. That, along with the meaningless story line, leaves very little to redeem this movie. Don't waste your time unless this is your flavor of humor.

HBO caused a stir when it aired If These Walls Could Talk, a portrait of three women from three generations (all who occupied the same house at various times) who had unwanted pregnancies. HBO utilizes the same gimmick in the sequel, this time telling the story of women who love women.

The three stories of If These Walls Could Talk 2 are uneven. Far and away the most powerful and moving story is the first, taking place in 1961, starring Vanessa Redgrave as a woman "widowed" when her partner of 50 years suddenly dies. Redgrave is phenomenal, and her piece alone makes this sequel worth watching. The 1972 portion stars Michelle Williams, who finds dealing with the sexual politics of the gay community increasingly more complex when she falls in love with a boyish woman (played by Chloë Sevigny). The most modern piece, taking place in 2000, portrays a contemporary lesbian couple (Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres) determined to have a baby. The light nature of the story detracts from the more serious issues of the earlier segments. Despite the mixed fare, HBO once again proves itself on the cutting edge of moviemaking, with this rather daring film that will both provoke and entertain. --Jenny Brown

GREAT.......2007-09-09

the story with Ellen and Sharon Stone is very funny and sexy. A good watch

Wonderful,...Vanessa Out Does Herself.......2007-08-12

I had seen this before, the first time it aired, and it was then, and still is great and prominent(sp) stories, of courls told at different times, but the same house as in 'If These Walls Could Talk 1'. This turn was, as a lot of people already know, it's about the gay lifestyle at different generations. Venessa Redgrave was the first story up, and I didn't think that woman could outdo herself, but she did. I think she got a golden globe and an emmy for her perfomance, it is stunning. The other stories are good as well, and besides Ellen Degeneres and Sharon Stone as lovers trying to get pregnant was fun to watch. There is another segment with Chloe from Big Love, and a gal name Michelle (I think) who played the wife of Heath Ledger in Brokeback Moutain. They are such big stars now,.....but personally I always though Chloe from Big Love was going to be sensational,....that girl can do anything.......Ellen, now who doesn't love Ellen?

Excellent.......2007-03-16

I love this film- it hits on numerous isssues without being too preachy. At different points, the film is funny, cute, serious, hot, and numerous other things. It's a classic.

HBO Rocks Part 2.......2007-01-14

This was an HBO original movie broadcast in 2000. This movie follows three lesbian stories in three different time periods. Vanessa Redgrave stars as a lesbian widow in 1961. Chloe Sevigny and Michelle Williams star as feminists in 1971. Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres star as a modern day lesbian couple trying to have a baby. I found the story of Vanessa Redgrave to be the most touching. It speaks to the need for legal rights for same sex couples and a need for understanding.

Excellent.......2006-11-23

A beautiful, touching movie. Well directed and acted. The first story with Vanessa Redgrave is very touching. All three stories have a completely different view of lesbians and are very good. The third story with Ellen & Sharon is very humorous. With stars like Vanessa, Ellen & Sharon, how can this be anything but a very worthwhile film and well acted.

Manic energy and an agreeable level of comic insanity turn Just Friends into the kind of brainless comedy you can enjoy as a modest guilty pleasure. If you liked director Roger Kumble's previous comedy The Sweetest Thing (and let's face it, that movie had some really funny moments), chances are you'll get at least a few solid belly-laughs from this not-so-high-concept premise, in which a formerly fat high-schooler named Chris (Ryan Reynolds) is transformed, ten years later, into a womanizing music executive with a high-profile client (Anna Faris) in the Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera mold. As it zips along with some broad-stroked slapstick and snappy one-liners, the screenplay by Adam Tex Davis contrives to reunite Chris with Jamie (Amy Smart), the former cheerleader who was the great, unrequited love of Chris' miserable high-school life. By his narcissistic logic, he'll seduce her by treating her badly (i.e. she'll want what she thinks she can't have), but he gets unexpected competition in the form of a "Mr. Sensitive" type (Chris Klein, from American Pie), and it's pretty much Hollywood formula from there on, as Just Friends loses momentum without losing its basic appeal. And while Reynolds invests his character with an unexpected degree of emotional nuance, Faris (Scary Movie 3) pulls out all the stops, going deliriously over-the-top to maintain her reputation as a rising comedy starlet with a (hopefully) promising future. We're not talking rocket science here, folks... just sit back, take off your thinking cap, and have some fun. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Back in high school, Chris (Reynolds) was an overweight nerd and in love with his best friend Jamie (Smart), but she only thought of him like a brother. Ten years later, Chris is now a hot L.A. music exec and finds himself himself back in his hometown and in love with Jamie all over again. But can they really be more than Just Friends?

This is a great movie. The casting is right on. Anna Farris is perfect as the spoiled, shallow pop diva. Ryan Reynolds is always funny. Chris Klein was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Julie Hagerty is always a treat.

We have shown this to a variety of our friends and all of them have loved it.

Highly recommend.

Very underrated movie.......2007-06-28

Its amazing how a movie this good could come out with so little buzz. From start to finish you'll be laughing. Very highly recommended.

Great Comedy Movie!!!.......2007-06-18

Great comedy!

This movie had me laughing almost the entire time. Anna Faris gives an amazing performance in this movie as a ditzy pop wanna-be singer. The rest of the cast is amazing in this movie as well. The story is very good and many could relate to it, specially if you've had a crush on someone in high school and you always felt like you were never good enough, unless you were rich, famous, and thin. This is defiantly a good comedy and revolves around the holidays but it's not just another holiday comedy either.

I have this movie as my top favorite films of all times. Just watch it and you'll see what I mean. great movie at a great value!

The shipping was fast, and the DVD was in great condition. This DVD has a great variety of DVD extras. You'll also get to see a lot of behind the scenes and a writer's journey on how to become an actor for a small role in the movie. It's a great DVD with lots to offer and it will keep you entertained through out the whole movie and special features as well.

I highly recommend it!!!

JUST FRIENDS IS JUST HILARIOUS!.......2007-06-13

This is the second movie I've watched with Ryan Reynolds in it in a short while. This movie is every bit as good as "Waiting" if not better. A quirky romantic comedy that is funny and has some heart. The DVD transfer is excellent and there are some very funny and interesting extras.

Just a good fun movie. I love his sense of humor. I could and did watch it over and over again.

The much-loved novels of C.S. Forester come to life in Captain Horatio Hornblower, a solid, engrossing seafaring tale. Forester himself worked on the script for the 1951 film, which mines its plot from three Hornblower books. Set during the Napoleonic era, the movie kicks off by steering British captain Hornblower (Gregory Peck) into the middle of a nimble cat-and-mouse game with anti-Spanish rebels in the New World--only to find that in the months since he set sail from Old Blighty, national alliances have changed, causing a reversal in his original mission. The action later shifts to Europe, and throughout there is a love story involving a noblewoman (Virginia Mayo) who takes unexpected lodging aboard Hornblower's ship. The film has an intelligence that keeps it watchable, although it's definitely not one of the more buoyant films of the robust director Raoul Walsh. Perhaps the movie falls short of classic status because of the casting: its sober nature might stem from the personality of Gregory Peck, who looks marvelous but remains stolid throughout, while Virginia Mayo is, well, Virginia Mayo, a league away from British aristocracy. The sea battles don't have the technical dazzle of Master and Commander but they look acceptable for their time, and the movie's fondness for detail is gratifying. Forester's tales later became a series of British TV programs, with Ioan Gruffud as Hornblower. --Robert Horton

Description

Screen legend Gregory Peck brings to life C.S. Forester's classic nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower. Hornblower battles the French and the Spanish forces during the Napoleonic wars, but also finds time for romance in this story from director Raoul Walsh.

Nothing Finer.......2007-09-10

While Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo rivet your attention to one line of interest in this movie, their destiny, the rest of the crew, all outstanding actors, give performances that match the excellent special effects in this movie where gun wales and cannon are thrown around like match sticks and huge chunks of the mast and rigging fall like boulders. What a class act! Even El Supremo dies well in this great swashbuckling
tale of the high seas. I loved it.

Captain Horatio Hornblower.......2007-07-20

As a long time fan of the Hornblower stories I am pleased with the job that the writers and producer did in condensing three Hornblower stories into a manageable time frame. My only quibble with the film is the choice of Gregory Peck for the lead. Peck is a wooden actor at best, and while Hornblower was always one to stifle his emotions I don't feel Peck got it right. There were plenty of fine British actors that could have filled the bill. I understand why they chose Peck, he was a proven box office draw, but because of his performance I will only recommend this film instead of highly recommending it. If you are a Hornblower fan be sure to catch the series of young Hornblower stories featuring Ioan Griffuld.

Excellent movie.......2007-06-08

Captain Horatio Hornblower is an already older but still excellent movie.
Historicaly is this movie more correct than the Hornblower series.
It is also a movie that you can watch relaxed,without the sometimes -to fast-present-day camera vieuw changes that gives you a headache.
For their time the ships have been constructed very nice.

movie review.......2007-05-26

Gregory Peck does a great job in projecting command authority as captain of a warship. Virginia Mayo is more than a pretty face. She is convincing as she falls in love with Peck and the movie's conclusion leaves you with a nice warm feeling. The battle scenes between the vintage ships were very well done. A good way to spend an evening.

Good Portrayal of C. S. Foresters H. Hornblower.......2007-05-14

This motion picture captures the essence of three of Foresters books: "Beat to Quarters", "Ship of the Line", and "Flying Colours", though there are some inaccuracies and portions left out. This movie is about a time in the world when honor and integrity were paramount. If you like the A&E series on Hornblower, you will probably like this movie. Conversely, if you like this movie, you will probably like the A&E series as well.

A classic fable gets fused with War of the Worlds in Disney's Chicken Little. In the small town of Oakey Oaks, young Chicken Little (voiced by Zach Braff, Garden State) struggles to live down the embarrassment of having once thought the sky was falling. But when he gets struck again by a hexagonal, sky-camouflaged, hi-tech doohickey, he and his friends Ugly Duckling (Joan Cusack, School of Rock), Runt of the Litter (Steve Zahn, Sahara), and Fish Out of Water discover that aliens are preparing to invade Earth--but since no one believed Chicken Little the first time, why would they believe him now? Though kids will enjoy the bright whizz-bang action sequences of Chicken Little, discerning parents will find the movie tedious. Technically, it has the computer animation quality of Pixar--but with none of their intelligence, heart, or simple storytelling skill. The basic idea of connecting the fable to aliens is amusing, but the script routinely bogs down in clumsy father-son issues that seem like material edited out of Finding Nemo. The jokes rarely have anything to do with the characters, but are mostly pop-culture references that are sadly out of date. The action sequences were obviously created with the inevitable video game in mind, for which the movie is little more than an advertisement. Chicken Little falls flat. --Bret Fetzer

Description

Experience a fantastic world of breathtaking action in Disney's hilarious new movie CHICKEN LITTLE. It's "the perfect family film," raves Scott Mantz of Access Hollywood. When the sky really is falling and sanity has flown the coop, who will rise to save the day? Together with his hysterical band of misfit friends, Chicken Little must hatch a plan to save the planet from alien invasion and prove that the world's biggest hero is a little chicken. Overflowing with incredible music and bursting with exciting bonus features, including alternate openings, an exclusive "making of" featurette, games, and much more, this sensational DVD is truly something to cluck about.

Chicken Little Falls Flat.......2007-09-10

The movie is boring. Not done in the Walt Disney tradition. Bambi is a classic movie where actual children voices (not actors) portrayed the young animals. Chicken little voice was of an adult and not of a child. Walt Disney if he were alive would not approve.

WHY PIXAR?! WHY ?!.......2007-09-03

Like many people, I grew up watching Pixar films. In fact their movie Dinosaur is at number nine on my top ten favorite movies list. But when I watched this movie I was horrified by how bad it was and this movie makes it in at number three in my top ten worst movies list. Any longtime Pixar fan has high expectations for their films, and I felt crushed and violated after watching such a travesty for a film. I believe since Disney purchased Pixar their films have fallen into the pits of movie hell. If Pixar hadn't been bought by Disney they could have been destined for so much more. I mean if you ever get a chance to watch Sony Pictures' Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, that is an excellent computer-animated film, and it makes me wonder: Could Pixar have had something bold and amazing like this, the tormented fan base wouldn't be in anguish. Also, some horrors to mention, Madagascar 2 is in the works, made God help us all.

Trying too hard.......2007-08-01

Despite being an adorable little chicken, something feel extremely off about this movie. The plot is way too campy and well, weird. Apparently, the budget couldn't afford original music and so we're left with a lot of Karoke stuff. Some sentimental lines sound eerily like rips from Finding Nemo. I fell a sleep on the movie the first time and the second time, I kept wondering how much longer the film was-when it was a short movie to begin with. Overall, this movie totally missed the mark, but very young children may enjoy it, but probably would get a lot more out of something like Jimmy Newtron or something.

Pretty Good "Cute" Movie - 3.7.......2007-06-29

Some of it is a little ridiculous to absurd and that is why the movie is "cute". The writers definitely had to stretch their imagination too much to come up with some of the ideas in the film; yet it was an interesting take on the Chicken Little story. It does keep you interested. When you find out certain things your reaciton is "Oh you've got to be kidding". There are some very funny scenes, particularly towards the end. You've gotta like the Chicken Little at the end, he's COOL! I will watch it again and probably include it in my library for my young children to watch.

highly entertaining.......2007-06-20

Highly enjoyable. Fun twist on the old. Getting tired of the Disney formula (child missing one or both parent(s)disfunctional and/or ignorant
parent or family member(s) raising misunderstood child)
Love the fact that being yourelf and not conforming to the stereotypical cheerleader and jock theme is encouraged throughout the movie. The characters had depth and personality, the animation was fun, the jokes and little remarks kept the movie rolling. Most younger kids won't get the jokes, or the references but then again kids aren't usually even paying attention to those details. It was just fun to watch.

Writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks) makes a huge leap in sophistication with this strong story about a comic-book artist (Ben Affleck) who falls in love with a lesbian (Joey Lauren Adams) and actually gets his wish that she love him, too. Their relationship is attacked, however, by his business partner (Jason Lee), who pulls a very unsubtle Iago act to cast doubt over the whole affair. The film has the same sense of insiderness as Clerks--this time, Smith takes us within the arcane, funny world of comic-book cultism--but the themes of jealousy, deceit, and the high price of growing up enough to truly care for someone make this a very satisfying movie. --Tom Keogh

Description

Chasing Amy is the third installment in the "New Jersey Trilogy" from award-winning writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma). Cult comic-book artist Holden (Ben Affleck) falls in love with fellow artist Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), only to be thwarted by her sexuality, the disdain of his best friend Banky (Jason Lee), and his own misgivings about himself. Filled with Smith's unique ear for dialogue and insight into relationships, Chasing Amy offers a thoughtful, funny look at how perceptions alter lives, and how obsession and self-doubt skew reality.

like a set of chinese finger cuffs!.......2007-09-12

Chasing Amy, Kevin Smiths 3rd film, has much more dramatic tones than any of his other films in the "jersey chronicles." that doesnt take away from the greatness of Kevin Smith's Filmmaking though. to be honest the first time i saw Chasing Amy i didnt like it at all. i went into it with a closed mind because at the time all i interpreted from Kevin Smith movies was some weed content and sex jokes. over the years of seeing all his films countless times ive learned about so much more beyond all the F--ks and s--ts. dont get me wrong, thats all good stuff, but he addresses a lot of facets of sexuality and religion.

Chasing Amy is no stereotypical, fake love story. to me, its a look at love from different points of view, how we all interpret it, and how it affects different people. in most films the protagonist is perceived as he/she can do no wrong. Chasing Amy is full of so many variables and emotions. i dont think Kevin Smith was saying Ben Afflecs character was truly in love with Joey Lauren Adams character. He thought he was, and that was enough for him. that small glimpse of satisfaction and light was enough for his character to think it was real. sometimes the illusion of love is amazing in itself. however fleeting it may be.

Kevin Smith's best film..........2007-05-18

Chasing Amy, the third film in Kevin Smith's classic New Jersey trilogy (along with Clerks and Mallrats), just might be the best of the bunch. It packs Smith's usual envelope-pushing dialogue about sex, relationships, etc. and showcases some great comic performances. If you're feeling tired of boring Hollywood fare, Chasing Amy provides a refreshing slap in the face.

Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting, Bounce) plays Holden McNeil, a comic book artist who's still looking for the right woman. While attending a comic-book convention with his roommate and Bluntman & Chronic co-creator Banky (Jason Lee, Almost Famous), he meets Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), and they quickly hit it off. Holden is convinced that he's met future girlfriend material. However, there is one minor problem: She's lesbian, a fact that's conveyed in a hilarious bar scene.

After he gets over his initial shock concerning her lesbian preferences, Holden enters into a fast frienship with Alyssa. Their close bond is a source of tension between Holden and Banky, who believes that she's bad news (and perhaps is a bit jealous). As Holden and Alyssa's relationship becomes more intimate, he must also come to grips with her wild past. Whether or not you buy into the film's surprising resolution, there's no denying that it's a ballsy one.

Smith's writing is so sharp that almost any actor (or non-actor) can come off looking good. That said, Jason Lee gives a classic comic performance, spouting off numerous un-PC lines, whether introducing a young toddler to his collection of porn magazines or asking Alyssa about her lesbian habits: "Since you like chicks, do you just look at yourself naked in the mirror all the time?" Affleck delivers solid work in a gutsy role. How much you like or hate Joey Lauren Adams will depend heavily on how you cope with her nasal, high-pitched voice.

Of course, a Kevin Smith film wouldn't be complete without the presence of Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith himself), and their scene is a keeper. While dining with Holden at a restaurant, the two offer relationship advice that's alternately poignant and hilarious.

With a writer/director as daring as Kevin Smith, odds are there will be some scenes in his films that you won't like. However, that's a small price to pay for the many hilarious scenes you do get, and it's also part of the reason that Chasing Amy rewards repeat viewings.

An almost mature film from Kevin Smith..........2007-04-04

This is Kevin Smith's best film. It isn't perfect, but it has a lot of real emotion in it, even though Smith nearly ruins it with his usual oversexed, Generation X schtick. I think the reason this film works well for the most part is that it's really quite sincere in its best moments. Kevin Smith was dating Joey Lauren Adams (the lead actress here) at the time, and had problems dealing with her past. So he made this film as a cathartic experience, and maybe that was good for him to do so (even though him and Joey broke up, so it kind of all was for naught...oops). Anyway, you really believe Ben Affleck falls in love with Joey here, and his scene where he declares his love feels very real and sincere (something Gen X types like Smith are NOT known for). But when Joey just gives up being a lesbian right away for Affleck, it doesn't really feel authentic. Her character was a bit of a whore when she was young, she found lesbianism, now Affleck brings her back to straightdom? It's not entirely believable, but Affleck (in probably his only decent performance before he became a celebrity) is rather believable in this scene. And in the scenes immediately following it, Joey's character seems to be really in love with Affleck. Unfortunately, Smith throws in too many over the top sexual references (the scene where Joey Adams and Jason Lee talk about oral sex injuries is ridiculous and just there to be "in your face"), and the scene where Ben Affleck proposes a menage a trois between Jason Lee and Joey is ridiculous. Affleck somehow gets the idea in his head that Jason Lee has been in love with him his whole life (despite Lee talking about his oral sex injuries with women earlier on), which is completely out of place with his character. Affleck proposes this in front of a TV playing "video aquarium" for some reason. But I really like the ending of this film. It's left totally open, and Smith should be commended for ending the film like that. The film is a bit of a mess, with some questionable character motivations, but it has its good moments, and it's Smith's best film in my opinion.

A must own DVD.......2007-03-16

This is one of my all time favorite movies; I have probably seen it over 10 times and I still don't get bored with it. Great dialouge and very believable and beautifully flawed characters. Joey Lauren Adams shines in this and it's the only movie I like Ben Affleck in. But be warned, this movie might break your heart.

Kevin Smith in a nutshell........2007-02-27

It perfectly blends his potty mouth with sensitivity and good dialogue.This one and Jersey Girl is widely hated by the typical fans,but they're missing out.It's an unpopular formula that turns many away.You get the ones who like dick and fart jokes who don't appreciate the romance,and you get the other half who like the romance but hate the off-color jokes.For those of you with a taste for both,I reccomend this.

After viewing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote to Walt Disney about adapting his novel of an ape-man into a feature animated cartoon. Sixtysome years later, the tale is finally told with brilliant design work that looks unlike any previous animated film. The story is a natural for Disney since the themes of misunderstood central figures have been at the heart of its recent hits. Disney's Tarzan doesn't wander far from the familiar story of a shipwrecked baby who is brought up by apes in Africa. What gives the film its zing is its clever use of music (the songs are sung by Phil Collins himself rather than onscreen characters) and the remarkable animation. Deep Canvas, a 3-D technology, was developed for the film, creating a jungle that comes alive as Tarzan swings through the trees, often looking like a modern skateboarder racing down giant tree limbs. The usual foray of sidekicks, including a rambunctious ape voiced by Rosie O'Donnell, should keep the little ones aptly entertained. The two lead voices, Tony Goldwyn as Tarzan and Minnie Driver as Jane, are inspired choices. Their chemistry helps the story through the weakest points (the last third) and makes Tarzan's initial connection with all things human (including Jane) delicious entertainment. Disney still is not taking risks in its animated films, but as cookie-cutter entertainment, Tarzan makes a pretty good treat. (Ages 5 and up) --Doug Thomas

Description

Swing into action and adventure with Disney's original classic, TARZAN(R), packed with fun-filled bonus features and award-winning music such as the memorable "You'll Be In My Heart" and "Trashin' The Camp." Disney's magnificent animated adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's story of the ape man begins deep within the jungle when baby Tarzan is adopted by a family of gorillas. Even though he is shunned as a "hairless wonder" by their leader, Tarzan is accepted by the gorillas and raised as one of their own. Together with his wisecracking ape buddy Terk and neurotic elephant pal Tantor, Tarzan learns how to "surf" and swing through the trees and survive in the animal kingdom. His "Two Worlds" collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a "civilized" life with the beautiful Jane and the life he knows and loves with his gorilla family. Filled with humor, heart, and hilarious fun, TARZAN is an unforgettable adventure you'll watch again and again.~~TARZAN(R) Owned by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. And Used by Permission.

Surprising.......2007-08-23

I didnt think it would be that great but it is actually very sweet and endearing. The animation is top notch and the voice acting is wonderful. Kids will love this movie, as will adults. It feels very modern and new but it still maintains the classical 'Disney feel'.

Tarzan.......2007-06-27

Son enjoyed the movie. I like the little educational bits (like the one included here about jungle) Disney has put in some DVDs.

A deft balance between special effects, comedy, and family dynamics made this 1989 film a hit for Disney and spawned both a string of video sequels and a subsequent TV series. Moranis is endearing as the bumbling inventor/father of the Szalinski family. He inadvertently shrinks his own children then throws them out with the trash. They, along with the neighbor kids, must journey back across their own backyard, now an enormous, dangerous distance, to get back to the right height. Much is done with the perils of the lawn, from a wild deluge from the sprinklers to a nasty encounter with the lawnmower and numerous encounters with gigantic insects. A generally kid-friendly, inventive (no pun intended), and entertaining outing. --Keith Simanton

Customer Reviews:

great movie with funny and scary scenes.......2007-03-25

i think this is a very cool movie. it has very scary scenes (like the scene with Antie and the scorpion-- almost made me cry...), and very funny scenes (like the one where the dog starts making rick spin on the rope-- that made me fall to the floor, it was so funny!!!)

all in all, i thought this was a very good movie. i give it a one million star rating!

Rick Moranis's best film yet! besides Ghostbusters of course.......2007-02-10

In this film Joe johnson director makes a movie about kids getting shrunk and spend days in the backyard it seems like a jungle to them! And it shows a close up of what lives in the grass of the back or front yards! like they run into giant Ants, giants Squrpions, and giant bees + other things that seem small to us YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Also see these films Honey I blew up th kid & Honey we shrunk ourselves

A Sci-Fi Adventure For The Whole Family.......2007-01-19

This movie has a cartoon proceeding it. Actually, the part of the film that is not suitable for children happens to be the cartoon (Roger Rabbit).

This was an excellent science fiction story. It was thrilling, and well written. There was one scene early in the movie that was forgotten, until a later scene, and then it sent chills down my spine knowing what was next.

I would highly recommend this movie.

Full Screen is Better!.......2007-01-09

I have both full-screen (Zone 1) and wide-screen (UK) versions and have found that it(Zone 2) seems to be a fake widescreen. The black bars seem to crop upper and lower parts of the screen, on which left and right sides are not added at all.

Trust me, buy this one...

Honey, You Gotta Buy This Movie .......2006-12-08

In this Disney classic (not exactly), Rick Moranis stars as a absent-minded professor (It's Disney, of course) who invents a shrinking machine
that he thinks will make him money, but instead, shrinks his kids!
Some of the characters/actors are fun, but Moranis sounds too dramatic
for his own good, though he does make up some funny lines and scenes along the way.

You film buffs should know:

This was actually filmed in Mexico (don't worry, you won't hear any
ranchera music in the process).

Now a major motion picture, the triumphs and heartbreaks of this unforgettable champion will have you riveted from beginning to end!

Customer Reviews:

Very good........2007-08-12

I liked this movie. I enjoy movies about real people. It's a sad story.

Good Idea, Bad Execution.......2007-07-24

As a runner, I wanted to love this movie. Unfortunately, it has the lowest production values I've ever seen in a supposedly big-ticket movie. The "aged" character interviews are almost laughable and single-handedly made me hate it.

All is not lost, though. The similarly themed movie "Without Limits" that was released almost alongside "Pre" is head and shoulders above this one. Buy that one instead and you'll be more than happy.

Thanks A Lot! Now I'm Haunted........2007-07-06

I'm not big into sports related movies but I am a fan of the actors in this movie. So I just had to see it and I was completely drawn into the story (or more accurately life) of Steve Prefontaine. Jared Leto and R. Lee Ermey were so convincing (as they always are) and the mood of the film made me feel as if I were there and had known "Pre".

It's a great movie, but I just want to say that the ending of the movie was so emotional for me that months after seeing it, I'm still haunted by the memory of "Pre". Thanks a lot, Jared Leto. Your acting is a bit too convincing!

Prefontaine.......2007-06-27

Great movie for the track athlete and/or track fan. Interesting look at an athlete who has transcended death and time to become a model for aspiring runners. Even if you don't run, Pre's attitude toward his training and competition teaches a valuable lesson in giving whatever you do in life your best effort.

Coaching Track & Cross Country.......2007-05-12

We rented PREFONTAINE and had a pizza/movie social night for our team this spring. Most of the kids had never heard of this athlete, and they really enjoyed the show! They want to see another running movie-- this time featuring less white people! :)
