"Was den Stoff angeht, ist Catch Me If You Can weitaus weniger bedeutsam als die meisten neueren Filme von Steven Spielberg. Inspiriert wurde der Film durch die wahre Geschichte von Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo Di Caprio), eines reif wirkenden Teenagers, der die 60er-Jahre als etwas ungewöhnlicher Hochstapler verbringt: Er gibt sich für einen Piloten aus, um in den Genuss von Freiflügen zu kommen, arbeitet für einige Zeit als Leiter eine ..."
"Will Ferrell is at his full, frenzied power as Phil Weston, a married, uncoordinated would-be sportsman with an uncoordinated would-be sportsman son--and an unresolved relationship with his coach father, Buck (Robert Duvall), who has very little tolerance for the uncoordinated. When Buck trades his own grandson to a real loser of a little league soccer team, Phil naturally takes over underdog coaching duties and the two men butt heads. ..."

Henry (Sandler) lives an enviable life in a Hawaiian paradise, spending every night with a beautiful tourist in search of an island fling.

"With generous amounts of good luck and good timing, 50 First Dates set an all-time box-office record for the opening weekend of a romantic comedy; whether it deserved such a bonanza is another issue altogether. It's a sweet-natured vehicle for sweet-natured stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and their track record with The Wedding Singer no doubt factors in its lowbrow appeal. But while the well-matched lovebirds wrestle with a gimm ..."

Surprenant et rafraîchissant, ce film a reçu le prix de la mise en scène au Festival de Cannes en 2002. Barry Egan a un costume bleu, sept sœurs et un emploi. Mais sa vie change quand il décide de sintéresser à un concours organisé par une marque de puddings permettant daccumuler des kilomètres en avion. Il rencontre deux blon ..."
"Paul Thomas Anderson follows 1999's MAGNOLIA with the intensely compelling character study PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE. Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is a quiet, shy, socially awkward man with an office in an out-of-the-way warehouse. He is dedicated to his job as a wholesale toilet plunger salesman, he keeps a nice apartment, and he is obsessed with special offers on grocery store products. Barry's latest fixation is on frequent flier miles included ..."
"Before hitting the big time with his second film Boogie Nights, young filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson impressed critics with this deftly conceived, low-budget film noir chamber piece. With its minimalist plot, deliberate pacing, and brief, but shocking bursts of violence, Hard Eight won't please everyone, but Anderson and his first-rate cast were clearly working on the same authentic wavelength. It's a mystery at first why a solemn profe ..."
"Winner of the Best Director Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, "this misfit love story of disconnected people trying to find one another in an antagonistic world is a comedy of discomfort and rage that turns unexpectedly sweet and pure." Adam Sandler gives an amazing and unusual performance asBarry Egan, a socially impaired owner of a small novelty business, who is dominated by seven sisters and is unlikely to find love unless it f ..."
"Eine Handvoll Menschen aus dem San Fernando Valley in Kalifornien erlebt einen außergewöhnlichen Tag. Der Fernsehmogul Earl Partridge (Jason Robards, Philadelphia, Pat Garrett jagt Billy the Kid) liegt auf seinem Sterbebett; seine Vorzeigeehefrau (Julianne Moore, Jurassic Park: Vergessene Welt, Hannibal) wirft in alarmierender Weise eine Pille nach der anderen ein.

"Ole Bornedals Thriller über einen jungen Jura-Studenten, der sein Studium mit einem Job in einer schaurig-gruseligen Leichenhalle als Nachtwächter verdient, ist handwerklich/stilistisch betrachtet ein herausragender Film. Nur leider bleibt bei diesen Äußerlichkeiten die Qualität der Erzählung des öfteren auf der Strecke. Inmitten dieser Stilisierung steht Martin Bell (Ewan McGregor, Trainspotting), jener Student, der des Nachts -- alle ..."
" Selbst wenn einen das berüchtigte Pornofilmer-Milieu in den 70er Jahren nicht wirklich interessiert, sollte man sich nicht von den außergewöhnlichen Vorzügen dieses Films abschrecken lassen. Boogie Nights ist einer der prägenden Filme der 90er Jahre und einer der ambitioniertesten und lebendigsten amerikanischen Filme seit Jahren. Er bedeutete auch den Durchbruch für einen jungen, talentierten Regisseur, dessen packender kaleidoskopart ..."

"Even if the notorious 1970s porn-filmmaking milieu doesn'texactly turn you on, don't let it turn you off to this movie's extraordinary virtues, either. Boogie Nights is one of the key movies of the 1990s, and among the most ambitious and exuberantly alive American movies in years. It's also the breakthrough for an amazing new director, whose dazzling kaleidoscopic style here recalls the Robert Altman of Nashville and the Martin Scorsese ..."
