Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Louis Black Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It is helpful, I think, to simply forget about the missing songs, and recognize that I'll Do Anything is a complete movie without them -- smart, original, subversive. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review John Scalzi Fresno Bee The film ambles along well enough, and all the cast members are attractive and interesting to watch. Rated: B Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Moviehole .....to get out of watching this movie!

nick s I lost interest quite quickly. Some humerus digs at the film industry which I quite liked but otherwise a slow relationship film seemed to be unfolding. Nolte's acting was pretty good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow... hard to follow... bratty kid is hard to tolerate... Not recommended. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Kyle R It's a miracle this film is even watchable, given the redaction and replacement of its musical numbers. Julie Kavner and Albert Brooks are great in a subplot, but the film overall is just kind of meh. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/14 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies ever Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Tiresome father daughter relationship story in the main, although there is a second relationship sub-plot that could be viewed as more interesting. The film means well though and is also a decent parody of the film industry. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Another one I loved from back in 94. The little actress is too cute. I laughed and cried, it is just good stuff. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
