'American Wedding'
Times Staff WriterPoor John Waters. If the Tony Award-winning musical of Waters' film "Hairspray" weren't proof enough that the onetime dean of depravity — our king of kitsch and sultan of scatology — has outlived his outrageousness, here comes "American...Tags: January Jones, Jim Carrey, Fred Willard, Duran Duran (music group), Marriage

American Pie
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday July 9, 1999 "American Pie" is the darndest thing. Both warmhearted and foul-mouthed, this unlooked-for hybrid of "South Park" and Andy Hardy uses its surface crudeness as sucker bait to entice teenage audiences into the tent to see a movie...Tags: Paul Weitz, Chris Owens, Shannon Elizabeth, Teen-agers, Judy Garland
-
Loser
FOR THE TIMESFriday July 21, 2000 It takes a lot of chutzpah to recycle Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" for a plaintive movie interlude, almost as much as it takes to title your movie "Loser." That's about as far as nerve takes writer-director Amy...Tags: Amy Heckerling, Dan Aykroyd, Mena Suvari, Greg Kinnear, New York University

Boys and Girls
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday June 16, 2000 "Boys and Girls," a likably thoughtful romantic comedy, suggests that as we enter the new millennium the dating game is getting tougher by the second, especially among the best and the brightest. So self-conscious and ultimately...Tags: Claire Forlani, Death, University of California, Berkeley, Science and Technology, Romance (genre)

Saving Silverman
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday February 9, 2001 "Saving Silverman" is a standard-issue numskull comedy that aims low but is high in energy. The humor may be less than inspired, to put it kindly, but the shenanigans are nonstop. In any event, director Dennis Dugan has...Tags: Dennis Dugan, Jack Black, Neil Diamond, R Lee Ermey, Michael Bolton

Movie review: 'Jersey Girl'
Chicago Tribune Movie Critic2-1/2 stars (out of 4) "Jersey Girl," the newest Kevin Smith movie, briefly reunites Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. But that's the least of its problems. As we watch this long-shelved romantic comedy/family drama from the maker of "Clerks" and "Dogma,"...Tags: Carroll O'Connor, Kevin Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Liv Tyler, George Carlin

Movie review: 'American Wedding'
Chicago Tribune Movie Critic1 1/2 stars (out of 4) Movie success often breeds complacency, big bucks often foster laziness, and "American Wedding" proves both. It's one more slice of raunchy comedy from the "American Pie" franchise, this time bringing back most of the male...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Paul Weitz, Colleges and Universities, Fred Willard, Marriage
-
'American Pie 2'
Times Film CriticThe '2' in the title says all you need to know about "American Pie 2." It's a copy all the way, a disheartening attempt to capitalize on the success of the original. Though few adults saw it, the first "American Pie" was more than a power at the box...Tags: Paul Weitz, Colleges and Universities, Shannon Elizabeth, Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas
-
'Anything Else'
Times Staff WriterOffering proof that even the most recalcitrant old dog can learn new tricks if his chain gets jerked hard enough, Woody Allen has wisely opted out of playing the romantic lead in his latest film. Modestly conceived and affably low-key, "Anything Else"...Tags: Stockard Channing, DreamWorks Animation SKG Incorporated, Drugs and Medicines, Recreational Substance Use, Death

No winter doldrums
This is the traditional slow time at the cinemas -- just don't tell the moviegoers, studios and theater owners. After the dismal summer and disappointing fall of 2000, moviegoers finally were offered a selection of movies they liked, and they've been...Tags: Willem Dafoe, Benicio Del Toro, Chris Rock, FBI, Mexico
