Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The knives are never sharp enough to do justice to a subject that's so often skewered and merits a more daring treatment in its social satire. Rated: B- Nov 24, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Fun, silly and terrific comedy. The incomparable David Tennant owns the lead. Formerly played the Doctor in Doctor who and a member of the Royal Theater, I don't think there is a part that this actor cannot pull off. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome Johnny Depp cameo. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty terrible overall. Some of the worst closing lines in the history of cinema: "What's next?" "They make movies in England, don't they?" "Yeah, yeah, I suppose they do." Really? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I borrowed this DVD out of our city's public library shelves. It was an okay Finnish/French/UK romantic comedy co-production set in Hollyweird, California... aka La La Land. It's sort of a mediocre international homage to director Jim Jarmusch's classic - STRANGER THAN PARADISE. For me, it was a bit over the top quirky and tried a bit too hard to be weird and funny at the same time. The most intriguing parts of the entire movie were the strange cameos by Joe Dallesandro, Julie Delpy, Vicnent Gallo, Anouk Aimee, the Leningrad Cowboys and Johnny Depp himself in an uncredited role. The rocking indie soundtrack was cool too! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member ELECTRIC SAUSAGE ATTACK! it's a great movie with amazing performances from the boys. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Se salva por los momentazos de Johnny Depp. Good as ever. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
