“Comedy” Reviews

It’s easy to see why this is such a cult film, but it actually has merit and wit, as opposed to sinking to sub-Corman levels.

Playing at your local art-house, May Day Mayhem! is a strong recommendation.

Simply describing this film as a movie about a bunch of Shaolin monks playing soccer might be accurate enough, but it barely scratches the surface.

A wonderful, sensitive movie about the constraints of society on individualism and the requirements of compromise.

Yes, it’s silly and cheesy, but what else do you expect from a kung fu movie with the “duck” style?

A muddled, fairly uninvolving mess of a movie.

I wouldn’t call this one a “must-see,” but if you have a chance to see it, and would like to see more of Jet Li, you certainly can’t go wrong.

Plenty of kung fu hijinks abound but Armour of God never makes up for all of the crap you have to sit through.

I find it very easy to get caught up in Miyazaki’s films, mainly because his films often resemble how I remember seeing the world as a child.

This is definitely not a good movie but I still look back on it with fondness.

At times you wonder how much of High Risk is poking fun at Jackie Chan and how much of it is savage satire.

This is cinematic frosting… all sweet and sugary, but ultimately fluff.

A movie can’t get by on just flashy characters, a tacked on love story, and over-the-top dialog.

The movie soon becomes a delirious ride through all sorts of fantastic settings.

For early 80’s Chan, stick with stuff like Project A or Police Story.

A rip-snorting good time of a film.

A seemingly heartwarming film ruined by inane developments and humor.

Contains less of what makes a Jackie Chan film a Jackie Chan film.

One moment, Orphans is tragic and moving, the next hilarious, the next downright disturbing.

There are times when the movie gets a little mushy and melodramatic, but for the most part, it’s a blast to watch.
