Rating: ★★★½
Sep 6, 1999Time-Travelling Slackers
A quirky hit that jumped aboard the 1980s popularity of time travel themes and laid into them with an appealingly offbeat eccentricity. The film that propelled Keanu Reeves onto become a star

Aug 24, 2010Adventures on a Planet of Stupid People Comedy
Films about stupid people are rarely funny - this concerns a whole planet of stupid people. Despite reasonable production values, there is little that raises even a mild smile in this comedic take on Flash Gordon

May 28, 2000Videogame Adaptation/Evolved Dinosaurs
The first film to be adapted from a videogame and inauspiciously one of the worst. This is a film made on a decent budget that seems to have set out to be as stupid and brainless as possible

Aug 20, 2001Alien Coverup Conspiracy Agency
A huge box-office hit in its day, this comedy turns UFO coverup conspiracy of on its head with the heroes part of an organisation that covers up the existence of aliens. This works thanks to a witty script, less so in director Barry Sonnenfeld's broad slapstick hand

Rating: ★
Mar 4, 2000Alien Visitor Comedy
A sex-changed version of My Stepmother is an Alien in which Garry Shandling is an alien come to Earth to breed with a woman. Despite being directed by Mike Nichols this is as lame as it sounds and stumbles through tired routines that were not even funny the first time around

Mar 3, 2010Stock Predictions from a Child's Invisible Companions
Eddie Murphy in a script from the Bill and Ted writers should have been a riot but what we get is another of the lame flops that marked Muprhy's career in the 2000s in which he is a broker who gets stock tips from his daughter's security blanket

Rapture-Palooza (2013)
Rating: ★
Feb 23, 2014Biblical End Times Comedy
There is irresistible appeal to the idea of a comedy that conducts a spoof of the Biblical Rapture. Despite a script from one of the Bill and Ted writers, this emerges as a remarkably unfunny film that consists of about an hour of Craig Robinson delivering crude sexual innuendos
