“In Mann's intricate, sprawling screenplay, he tells a story that stretches way beyond the film's nominal subject matter and catches something deep and elemental. ” –

“The finished film has the stench and urgency of lived experience about it, fed by De Niro's brilliant, compelling performance, at once saddening and frightening. ” –

“For all the gloss and bubbly good humour, Heckerling establishes a truthfulness to Cher's teen dilemmas that is Anally quite poignant. Great fun.” –

“The screenwriters manage to redeem Khan; but it's not quite enough to save the movie, which, given the velocity of the frantic action, should have played brisk and buoyant.” –

3/5
“[Hancock has] cast the film with splendid actors who can handle that kind of breezy energy. It's never laugh out loud funny, but we're invited to enjoy Kroc as a rascal, not a villain... almost til the end.” –

3.5/5
“The best thing about Raiders the doco is the way it penetrates the cute feel-good story of the Guys so often re-told in news clips and magazines in order to uncover a painful story of adolescent angst, divorce, familial abuse and drug addiction.” –

3/5
“This is, essentially a broad appeal, 'comedy for everyone', but what's intriguing about it, is the way Shetty and co. have fashioned a moral about the importance of family harmony, and the need to belong.” –

2.5/5
“The numbers are big, overblown, well shot and rather humorous, and the second half has some very strong last minute plot moves. Still, it's a strangely lumbering, awkward affair.” –
