Looney Tunes - Back in Action (2003) Film-Streaming

Has its funny moments, but all too often it's a corny, lackluster film in which humans pretend (not always convincingly) to interact with cartoons.. It's goofy fun. Or maybe we should make that daffy fun.. A nutty, zany, wacky, unruly, spastically hilarious hodgepodge that hits at least twice as often as it misses.. . . The film's appeal is universal, much as the appeal of the Looney Tunes characters is universal.. Reviving Looney Tunes in feature length will no doubt make decent money. But the ...

Buddy - Der Weihnachtself (2003) Download Voll

The film's saving grace is its character design and use of 3D techniques to speed things up in every sense when the plot starts to flag.. A resounding success in the laugh department, but it tries to warm hearts as well, and eventually collapses under the weight of its own sugarplum schmaltz.. Thanks to Ferrell, it's a tolerably sweet holiday treat.. Happily, the fallout results in Peabody, Sherman, and Penny all getting caught up in WABAC-machine zaniness together.. Sure, Elf feels a little too...

Tintenherz (2008) Voll Streaming

Miyazaki works marvels. Sit back and behold.. Much of this comes across as a labor of love, with a classy cast frolicking in Iain Softley's whimsical direction of a lushly imagined adaptation by David Lindsay-Abaire.. Inkheart illustrates an obvious problem with making a movie about the joys of reading when the movie made is labored and sludgy looking: Why bother seeing it if you can stay home and read a book instead?. The overqualified cast gives its all, but logical lapses and sober-sided dire...

Spy Daddy (2010) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

An odd imp of a movie, Arthur and the Invisibles may actually be filled with a bit too much invention for the average kid.. The Spy Next Door follows Brian Levant's long track record of pandering, PG-rated family comedies that look like bad TV (and sometimes are adapted from it).... . . There are too many things out of whack here, and too many unanswered questions.. Too eccentric for kids, too silly for everyone else, it floats in a Neverland of breathtaking visuals in service of a story that pi...

A World Beyond (2015) Film-Streaming

Tomorrowland is a highly original, occasionally even visionary piece of sci-fi filmmaking, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good movie.. Tartakovsky hasn't created the sort of sequel that eclipses the original, but then again the original wasn't exactly "Toy Story" or "How to Train Your Dragon.". Exhilarating on every level.. Hotel Transylvania 2 is the greatest movie Adam Sandler and Kevin James have ever made together. I believe this is called "damning with faint praise.". Eye-popping an...

Im Dutzend billiger 2 - Zwei Väter drehen durch (2005) Streaming-

The highlights of Evan Almighty aren't the supernatural moments but the scenes in which Carell grows comically flustered with his situation.. If the creators seem lethally bored with their product, most viewers will find their patience tested, too.. Sure ain't a movie. Nope, it's a product, pure and very simple and carefully tested to sell to the widest possible market.. . The visuals are passable. The story's a lot of fun. And the story is what sells the movie.. Evan Almighty belongs to that so...

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.. It's probably time to stop fretting about Kevin James's movies, and to stop hoping they'll get ...
