question:
gregg araki 's the doom generation was
possibly the very worst film ever made .
so why did i see his latest teen bisexual angst opus ?
first of all , some of the reviews were fairly positive .
also , the cast , consisting of cameos from dozens of washed up
ex
tv stars ( including christopher knight , eve plumb , shannen doherty , and david leisure ) was promising .
last of all , i wanted to give arraki one more chance .
i mean , the guy ca n't be that untalented , can he ?
the answer to that question is three letters long .
nowhere follows the character dark on his wild and odd journey through los angeles .
since arraki does n't know how to make anything coherent , it 's hard to describe the plot .
let 's just say that dark spends the bulk of the movie whining that his girlfriend wo n't make a commitment to him and jealous because she sleeps around with other guys and girls .
the only remotely compelling storyline involves sarah lassez as a teen who has a chance encounter with a famous tv star .
he turns out to be a nice guy who does n't care for fame and wishes he could walk down the street without being mobbed by fans .
this story has a shocking twist and a tragic end that i did not see coming .
it is the first time i ever felt any compassion for a character created by arraki , and this can be attributed to the appealing performance of lassez .
i thought maybe arraki was improving in his craft .
he works better with the camera this time around , especially in the early scenes .
halfway through the film , i did n't necessarily find myself enjoying the film , but it seemed like a considerable improvement on the doom generation .
then as the movie went on , arraki loses all sensibility and introduces us to exploding heads , twisted sex games , and alien abductions .
it 's sad , because he almost actually had some decent material here , but he ruined it with his usual in your face
" i 'm such a renegade maverick filmmaker , look what i can do " attitude .
the performances are generally better than in the doom generation , which is n't saying much .
at least we do n't have to suffer jonathan
" i am the most hideous man in america " schaech .
we are , however treated to another round of james " i 'm more wooden than keanu " duval .
sarah lassez gives the best performance in the film , and kathleen robertson ( formerly of 90210 and now arraki 's wife ) and rachel true are talented actresses caught up in this mess . of the tv star cameos , john ritter is the most interesting as a deranged right wing tv evangelist .
if i prefer nowhere to the doom generation , it is only in the way that i would prefer being assassinated than receive constant physical torture .
maybe greg arraki does n't want you to like his characters .
maybe he wants to laugh and make fun of those of us who try to care about them .
maybe he just wanted to piss me off .
if so , he was successful .

question:
adam sandler is n't known for appearing in deep , thought - provoking films , but he 's still a really funny guy .
most of his movies are successful not because of the film making behind them , but because they let sandler do what he does best without a stupid plot to drown him out .
big daddy is the first film in which the story seems more important than sandler 's comic performance , and it 's a miserable failure
.
sandler plays a thirty - something loser who gets attached to an orphaned young boy ( played by cole and dylan sprouse ) .
as one might expect from the synopsis , director dennis dugan resorts to the usual bag of manipulative and sentimental sequences , including a repulsive courtroom battle and a lot of teary scenes in which characters say " good - bye " to one another ; in addition , there 's a ridiculous amount of disgusting toilet humor ( urine and vomit both get more screen time than sandler himself ) .
there 's a hilarious running joke featuring a female doctor who previously worked at hooters , and the film features passable performances from sandler , joey lauren adams ( as the love interest ) , and the two young boys , but the film on the whole is trite and disappointingly unfunny .
answer:
N


question:
as with his other stateside releases , jackie chan 's latest chopsocky vehicle , mr . nice guy , is contrived , blockheaded , and lacking in narrative logic .
but also like those other films , it is a highly enjoyable ride .
once again , chan 's screenwriters ( here edward tang and fibe ma ) have taken the easy way out and named their star 's character simply jackie , with no last name .
this jackie is a world - class chef who co - hosts a popular cooking show on australian television .
of course , jackie also happens to be a talented martial artist , and these skills come in handy when he becomes involved in an ambitious reporter 's ( gabrielle fitzpatrick ) expose of a drug dealing ring .
other plot details , involving a videotape and a biker gang , are irrelevant ; in fact , as is the case with most chan films , the plot itself is just about irrelevant .
the sole purpose of mr .
nice guy 's existence are chan 's comic fight scenes , and those here do not disappoint .
director samo hung ( who has a cameo role ) , a longtime collaborator of chan 's , does not waste any time putting chan in action , diving head - on into a wild chase / fight / shootout after a brief cooking show prologue .
other impressive set pieces follow
, most notably a chase in a mall , which directly leads to some frenzied , if cliched ( can you say fruit cart ? ) , business involving a runaway carriage ; and an extended late - film sequence at a construction site , in which a hilarious pursuit through a maze of blue doors culminates in some exciting fights involving boards , cement mixers , and a deadly buzzsaw .
none of the action sequences in mr .
nice guy are as spectacular as supercop 's thrilling helicopter - train finale or rumble in the bronx 's daring leap between two buildings ; nor is anything as inventive as the ladder fight or air tunnel climax in first strike and operation condor , respectively .
but the action delivers , even if the energy peters out before the film 's end ( the finale , as spectacular as it is , is a letdown for fans of chan 's athletic prowess ) .
filmed almost entirely in english ( even so , the voices of some english - speaking actors are laughably dubbed ) , mr .
nice guy hints at jackie chan 's latest transition to hollywood productions ( he made ill - fated attempts with 1980 's the big brawl and 1985 's the protector ) ; next in the pipeline is rush hour , a stateside production co - starring chris tucker .
hopefully that film will be a mere diversion in tinseltown , and chan will continue with exuberant hong kong productions such as mr .
nice guy , for
his unique charm and reckless abandon are sure to be diluted by american hands , much like they have been before .
