Leave your thoughts about Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen.
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeNice to look at, but what on earth were they thinking? |
| User ReviewPrivate UPeter Ustinov isn't the best Charlie Chan ever but he's the best Peter Ustinov ever and he was incapable of making a bad movie. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WSo embarrassing. And on so many levels. If you've done something bad, anything, this could be acceptable penance. You're forgiven. |
| User ReviewBill TI have seen pretty well all of the Charlie Chan movies, and I gotta say, this is the worst of of the lot. Every single actor in this movie embarasses themselves greatly in this. Biggest culprits are the ladies though. Michelle Pfeiffer hasn't a clue how to do comedy and Lee Grant is just mugging, mugging, mugging. Ustinov as Chan couldve been great, but the script really just defeats him. |
| User ReviewRalph BThe film is quite racist in casting Peter Ustinov, but I'd dismissed that as a parody of old Charlie Chan films (this is a comedy after all) where the Chinese detective was always played by a white guy so it wasn't a problem. But the real problem is that it was never played for laughs. Nor was anything really. The slapstick was very clumsy and watching Apollo ham it up for the camera as his grandson was tough. The plot is supposed to revolve around a murder mystery but it never actually does anything with it. Instead we're treated to the cast of boring characters wandering through their daily lives in ways that are supposed to be funny. And they're just not. |
| User ReviewThe Critic (So painfully unfunny and dull that I couldn't bring myself to watch more than half of it. |
