[Q]: Bizarre and ridiculous rip-off; a drug-induced nightmare put to film . How the film-makers achieved financing to make this film I'll never understand. The make-up, costuming, screen-writing, directing, acting, cinematography, editing are all over-the-top and way over-done. It looks like an amateur film-school project. Nicole Kidman is beautiful--the one bright spot in this film. For some reason, a film set in the late 19th century had the male lead and entire cast break out singing "The Sound of Music" by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Someone must have been smoking something illegal that lead to this manic, ridiculous parody? of a musical. Nowhere did I read a review that said it was a parody and farce; it was supposed to be a musical. There was no way I could view this film for more than 15 minutes, and that long just to see if the title character would awake from a drug-induced nightmare. I love musicals but this one should definitely be viewed free on television and not rented or bought until you see if you can stand it. Save your money--it is awful. Note: If I had read a review such as this, I would have saved myself time and money

[Q]: "The ratio of people to cake is too big....." . ...says the mumbling Milton (my favorite character). The characters and their odd mannerisms made this film a success, in my view. One of my coworkers lent me this movie, promising me that I'd like it - he was right. It is both funny and tragic, though a bit exaggerated (but it's a MOVIE, where life circumstances do not have to be totally realistic). Most people can relate to Office Space, even if they don't have a cubicle-based job. I happen to have a cubicle-based job, though I recently moved from a rather large cubicle to an office, which I share with another coworker (there is a gray cubicle wall dividing it). It's not so bad though. Anyway, the main character, Peter Gibbons, lacks motivation in his career and is fed up with a number of business practices. But he doesn't quit his job - he just stops working. Doing nothing is his ideal life. The rap music is a nice touch. Now back to my favorite character, Milton, who repeatedly says that he "could set the building on fire" whenever things get too rough. He is pathetic yet likeable, and I felt sorry for him when he didn't get any cake at the party. Everyone keeps passing it around, and he watches the cake get smaller and smaller until it is completely gone. And his desk is moved numerous times, which really irritates him. Eventually, he moves down to the basement, where it is dark and lonely. His boss comes down to ask him to kill the cockroaches ("That would be terrific"), even though it's not Milton's job. His distinctive "Excuse me..." protests are rarely heard. He is being used by the company, no one respects him, no one listens to him. I'd burn the building down too

[Q]: Style WAY, WAY, WAY Over Substance . I'm a fan of the 1999 "The Mummy" and was understandably looking forward to this sequel. In the summer of 2001 I went to catch it at the theater with two friends and after about ten minutes we were all bored senseless by the incredible bombardment of action and F/X. We just layed back in our seats for the next two hours in utter tedium. It's a curious thing that too much action (and F/X) in a film can be boring. It may not seem logical but it's true, and "The Mummy Returns" is Exibit A. I recently considered the possibility that my first impression may have been in error so I decided to re-watch it after over five years. Yet, after a mere 10-15 minutes I was again completely detached from the picture, even though there were all kinds of exciting things going on, or, at least, things that SHOULD HAVE been exciting. "The Mummy Returns" has a lot going for it: A great cast, locations, costumes, cinematography, F/X, etc. In addition it has a great Indiana Jones appeal. Unfortunately it all adds up to a cinematic piece of excrement. What went wrong? Simply put, no substance. "The Mummy Returns" abandons the characters, and the plot is utilized simply as a flimsy clothesline for action and F/X sequences. FINAL ANALYSIS: "The Mummy Returns" has so many ingredients right, but it somehow utterly fails. It's unadulterated cinematic JUNK. It should be utilized in filmmaking classes as the quintessential example of style over substance -- having all the right elements, including budget, and stupefyingly fumbling the ball. Needless to say this could have been a great film franchise, but it was not to be. "Returns" put an end to that.
