Director Ted Kotcheff has all sorts of trouble with this mess, aside from credibility.. The rapport between the two rogue cineastes is enough to carry both films: the one they're making and the one Jennings is trying to make.. Jennings is clearly having a wonderful time recreating the fantasies of his youth, but sometimes his perspective get a little too inbred, and the picture suffers for it.. Sweet...
Sky High - Diese Schule hebt ab! (2005) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-
My 12-year-old self would have liked this movie a lot. The 25-year-old me likes it a bit more than he cares to admit.. . Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. The climax, which involves the homecoming dance and a death ray, is frenzied in its effort to entertain, yet ultimately underwhelming, much like the movie as a...
Plötzlich Prinzessin 2 (2004) Film-Streaming
It's an 8-year-old girl's fantasy of adulthood, right down to the purple-and-scarlet uniforms worn by the Genovian National Guard.. . Lumpish excuse for a contemporary fairy tale.. Though the picture is often trite and occasionally exasperating, the leading ladies give it a spoonful of sugar and a hint of enchantment.. Scenes end abruptly, laughs are as rare as yetis, and the overarching question...
Ein Königreich für ein Lama (2000) Online-Streaming-
Duff plays off her Lizzie Maguire persona as a cute but unassuming girl, but also conveys soulfulness and earnest longing.. The first Disney animated movie since The Little Mermaid that amounts to nothing more than a throwaway.. The Prince is a wet rag, the slapstick stepsisters are dull and even the fretful Sam seems colorless.. Let me get quickly to the word that best describes this movie. It is...
Rio 2 - Dschungelfieber (2014) Beobachten Film
Those who enjoyed the adventures of Blu and Jewel and company in the first Rio are going to find the sequel an equally pleasing diversion.. All in all, though, the movie feels at once too busy and too derivative. That's no easy feat, but it's also one sequel-makers probably shouldn't aspire to.. Wonderfully animated and well-voiced, "Rio 2" is nevertheless too much. Too much plot, too many issues,...
Bedtime Stories (2008) Download Film
Sandler's laziness, sloppiness, and cynical pandering are all over Bedtime Stories, and it turns what's intended to be a graceful intersection of fairytale whimsy and real-world slapstick into an ugly, head-on collision.. When it comes to holiday tales, it would be best to reread The Night Before Christmas rather than waste time or money on Bedtime Stories.. The twitchy anxiety that once powered his...
Scooby-Doo 2 - Die Monster sind los (2004) Voll Streaming
The monsters are the highlight of the film, and if history is any guide, there will be more ghosts and evildoers for our wholesome heroes to battle in Scooby-Doo 3.. What I like about Bee Movie is its comfy, off-the-cuff charm: unlike a lot of animated family entertainment, it's not all Thwack Smash Kaboom.. . . Bee Movie is a cute movie. Not that there's anything ... well, you know the rest. But...
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-
There's not much of a story, the whole thing's a bit superficial, and there's little to laugh at, but it's still a refreshing change from the norm.. Mr. Efron's athletic grace is Astaire-like in its casual authority. Ms. Hudgens's blissful smiles melt the screen.. The movie's big action scenes ... make you forget you're even watching animation.. . . There's nothing thrilling or new about the work...
Hotel Transsilvanien (2012) Download Voll
The 3-D adds a vertiginous thrill to a chase on flying tables and a touch of claustrophobia to a maze of underground corridors.. Every generation of trick-or-treaters deserves its monster mash.. Hotel Transylvania may lack the emotional oomph of Pixar's best efforts, but it makes up for it with rapid-fire gags and an unflagging pace that makes this a rare all-ages treat.. "Cinderella" feels real enough...
Freiheit (2014) Streaming-
. Herbie is the kind of funny, frenetic family movie that really does offer something for everyone.. It's nice to see that Disney remembers its past, even if four decades of social change and global issues seem to have made no impact on it whatsoever.. The film leaves us with the impression that slaves' survival had more to do with sheer luck than dogged resilience.. All ends well, everyone gets what's...
Lügen haben kurze Beine (2002) Film-Streaming
Sorry. Started to doze off.. If you're a fan, you won't be disappointed.. In gleefully, thumpingly hyperbolic terms, it covers just about every cliche in the compendium about crass, jaded movie types and the phony baloney movie biz.. Its winning formula is driven not by narrative but by what isn't there: no sex, no drugs, and no rock and roll-- unless you count the logjam of thundering power ballads.....
Die Croods (2013) Online-Streaming-
This movie not only has its heart in the right place, it has its brain in the right place.. It may not be an instant animated classic, but it's a charmer that will leave the kids ... feeling warm and fuzzy .... . The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement picks up right where the 2001 hit original left off -- not only in its story line, but in its appeal to young girls.. The pace is brisk and occasionally...
Sind wir schon da? (2005) Download Film
We've got stereotypes-a-go-go: Raging redneck truckers. Accented Asians. Country bumpkins. Black fathers missing in action. The humor's a tad too raunchy for the kids, and the predictable plot won't win over any of the parents.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. . Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. I really like this movie. thank you....
Das Geheimnis von Green Lake (2003) Voll Streaming
As kids' films go, it's a thoughtful, superior piece of work, an entertaining picture that youngsters can enjoy on first viewing and perhaps fully grow into as they get a bit older.. I walked in expecting a movie for thirteensomethings, and walked out feeling challenged and satisfied.. That rare thing, a movie that will genuinely appeal to just about everyone in a family, though it emphatically is...
Aquamarin - Die vernixte erste Liebe (2006) Online-Streaming-
Aquamarine isn't good enough to be a teen classic, but its audience will leave the theater happy.. This movie, in fact, is all about conformity.. Both Roberts and Levesque are better known for their recording careers than their acting, and while they have regular-girl presence, their believability wavers greatly from scene to scene.. This film is entirely harmless. It's utterly forgettable.. The movie...
Omoide no Marnie (2014) Film Abspielen
The magic of the film lies not in the mysterious spring but in the richness of its performances.. While not a masterpiece, it is beautiful, nonetheless.. Herge's was an art of subtraction - of doing more with less - but that seems to have eluded Spielberg and Jackson.. Ineptly crunched film version of Natalie Babbitt's acclaimed 1975 children's book.. If you feel any kinship with the disaffected,...
Verwünscht (2007) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-
The film, anchored by an entrancing performance by Amy Adams and a strong ensemble cast, is cleverly written. The situations are funny, and the story feels effortlessly entertaining.. The gag wouldn't work with just anyone in the lead, but Adams' openhearted performance never winks. She really does want the best for everyone, and can't fathom why they don't all feel the same.. It's only when the story...
Der Zoowärter (2011) Voll Streaming
There's no "The" in the title of the Kevin James comedy "Zookeeper," and that lack of a definitive article pretty well encapsulates the generic fat man follies on display here.. Unfortunately, nobody had the good sense to call the comedy authorities and shut this Zookeeper down.. Will most audiences mind this? Probably not. Should they? Of course. They deserve better and frankly, so does Kevin James.....
Der Sternwanderer (2007) Film Abspielen
Though the special effects are at times a little more elaborate than necessary, they don't overwhelm the story's human scale.. Everybody has a lot of fun here.. An exquisite work of cinematic art that also happens to be the funniest, most touching, most exciting and most entertaining movie released so far this year.. You could call it a cousin of 'Time Bandits' or 'The Princess Bride', but it lacks...
Bee Movie - Das Honigkomplott (2007) Beobachten Film
. Nothing about the movie resonates emotionally.. . The film's charm, quickness and design carry the day.. Livelier, it feels more like a cartoon.. This is a beautifully animated, cleverly executed, warm and funny adventure.. Kids will love the crowd-pleasing depiction of an entire prehistoric world, complete with an adorable baby Dino -- and loads of great sight gags and puns.. The cast from the...
