TeenzTen An action-packed slog

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Filipe Neto This is one of the films that Robin Williams did during the Nineties and did not survive the test of time. The actor had a long career, with dozens of films, but several of these little comedies are now forgotten. The movie is not bad, but at the time it was a box office failure and the TV's and video stores ended up not betting too much on it, which contributed to make it a forgotten work today.The script is simple: when a young teenager runs away from home because of a girl, her mother decides to call two former boyfriends by telling them, and warning that any of them may be the child's father. And so creates a hilarious confusion, in which the two potential daddies are rushing to help the rebellious teenager who, in fact, is in trouble but does not want the help of anyone.The movie is not as bad as many people say. There is decidedly quality material here, with good moments of humor and situational jokes, in which Williams shows what it's worth. Next to him is Billy Crystal, another comic actor with talent, although less known. The way they both relate, initially tense and later collaborative, is the core of the whole film and gives rise to lots of comic situations. Nastassja Kinski and Julia Louis-Dreyfus also enter this film, but their characters are of lesser relevance and this film will not be particularly notable for any of them. Charlie Hofheimer gave life to the young fugitive, and is as good as he could be, without particularly shining.Observing well, I understand why everyone criticized this film so hard. It is not brilliant, nor does it make you laugh with laughter. Its a funny comedy, sentimental and focused on the passing of some positive moral ideas about the family. Seeing the film under this prism improves it, but will never be a film for more than one or two views.

SnoopyStyle Collette Andrews (Nastassja Kinski) tells her ex hard-nosed lawyer Jack Lawrence (Billy Crystal) that her full grown son Scott is his and he has run away. Then she tells suicidal artist Dale Putley (Robin Williams) the same thing. The two men run into each other and decide to search together. Jack's suspicious wife Carrie (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) follows them.Crystal and Williams are great comics but their characters have no chemistry. They don't like each other and there is no reason for them to be friends. This is not a rom-com. A combative chemistry does not automatically end in a love match. Williams is too whiny and Crystal is too mean. I rather not spend time with these people and the kid is horrible.

FlashCallahan After Scott has a fight with his father and runs away, his father refuses to go after him. His mother, Collette, then goes to one of her former boyfriends, Jack, a lawyer, and tells him that he's her son's real father. Jack initially refuses. So she goes to another boyfriend, Dale, who goes off looking for Scott. Eventually the two men meet and realise that they are looking for the same boy and that Collette told them they are the boy's father. What follows is a desperate search and chase, because the boy doesn't want to go back....On paper this must have sounded brilliant. Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, and Ivan Reitman. Three names that should give you comfort and confident when you know they are going to make a film together.So its a remake of a movie, The Birdcage was okay, but there is something really rotten about this movie.Williams and Crystal are as good as always, but the humour in this is just cringe worthy. Usually when you see Williams dress up and pretend, it'd be a hoot, but here, you end up feeling sorry for him.Crystal is just too violent, and here's the fundamental flaw with the film, its just too violent and dark. It should have been a family friendly movie, but the spate of innuendo, drug references, and unlikable characters, really make you dislike the film.Make it a little more slapstick, take out the vomiting, and drug lords, it would have been a winner, but its just forgettable and a dud in both stars CVs.But it has a cool Mel Gibson cameo.

david-sarkies This is an American comedy staring Billy Crystal and Robin Williams and is about two grown men who are led to believe that they are the father of the same boy. An old high school girlfriend has lost her son and she approaches these men separately and tells them that the boy is their son and that he has gone missing. The men decide to seek him out and inadvertently meet and find out that they are chasing the same boy. Billy Crystal plays an upperclass lawyer who likes to think he is pretty straight and has an average life (if you count two ex-wives average, which unfortunately most people do) while Robin Williams is a crazy author who's life is quite dull, to the point where he wants to commit suicide. As for comedies, this movie is typical of America. It is funny but it is only because Robin William's character is quite bizarre. Billy Crystal, who is supposed to be a very funny comedian, is quite dull. Without the unusual character of Robin Williams, this movie would basically suck. There is a lot of Americanisms in this silly movie, such as everybody living happy at the end, and the kid lying to make everybody happy. Seriously though, lying may heal a short term wound, but it really does aggravate it in the long run. Its like putting a band aid on a bullet wound. Robin Williams' character is quite funny, but, unlike the French characters, his is just simply crazy. The French make cool characters because they are quirky. They are not outright crazy as the Americans tend to make theirs, they are just normal people with little extra things added to them. Still, can't blame them for their lack of creativity.
