“Though this directorial debut of screenwriter Bruce Robinson reads more like a well-wrought short story than a feature film, his characters are finely drawn and their dialogue wickedly funny.” –

“For the too-few minutes Yogurt is on screen, Spaceballs is a savagely funny complaint about the kind of movie more memorable for its spinoff products than for itself. The remainder of the airheaded Spaceballs just has no bounce.” –

“A not-quite-great but thoroughly enchanting memoir. Raggedy as the clothes and shaggy as the coifs sported by its characters, it is the movie equivalent of A Sentimental Education.” –

“The heart-stopping performance is that of Paul Scofield as Van Doren's poet father, Mark, who brings the full measure of patrician spine and patriarchal despair to the part of a famous father seeing his son chase after false fame.” –

“While Olmos is the soul of the film, Jennifer Lopez as Selena is its playful heart. Lip-synching to popular recordings by the singing sensation and bopping to her irrepressible beat, she personifies girlish high hopes. ” –

“Vulpine Riegert, a terrific under-player in such films as Local Hero and Animal House, is a phenomenon. It's in Riegert's careful modulations of tone, his knack for making understatements emphatic, that he gives dignity and intelligence to Sam.” –

“Evil Dead 2 isn't everyone's bucket of blood, but it does happen to be the most intentionally funny slasher movie ever. It's the kind of surrealist slapstick Salvador Dalí might have created if he'd directed The Three Stooges.” –
