A custom image of Freddy Got Fingered, Roger Ebert, and Police Academy
One of the most influential movie critics of all time, Roger Ebert was never one to prioritize niceties when it came to writing poor performance reviews. His opinion held the weight of an audience member in every punctuation mark, swaying them to see or not to see a film, including curating a list of the movies he considered to be the greatest of all time.
The movie is like a party guest who thinks he is funny and is wrong. The end credits are like the same guest taking too long to leave. While Nielsen is known for his buffoon-like comedy, the premise and source material lacked enough script foundation to sustain a full-length film versus the standard cartoon short. Lacking any real sort of substantial comedy, Ebert called it "a one-joke movie without the joke." 7 'City Heat' Directed by Richard Benjamin Despite two mega-talents headlining the feature, this 80s comedy couldn't manage more than half a star from its equally talented reviewer.
"Pootie Tang" is not bad so much as inexplicable. You watch in puzzlement: ... Who thought it was funny? Who thought it was finished? For that matter, was it finished? There are dozens of films that prove the stupid comedy genre works; however, according to Ebert and many other critics, this is not one of them. Police Academy works hard to set up its cast but delivers punchline-less jokes where nothing happens, leaving audiences and critics empty-handed.Release Date March 22, 1984 Director Hugh Wilson Cast Steve Guttenberg , Kim Cattrall , G.W.
