Movie Reviews

ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyA clever concept indie with old timey zip.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleSharp and irresistible, and there's no other movie like it.
Rolling Stone - 7/10 by Peter TraversA kind of homage to that more simple and elegant time.
Film.com - 5/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanFunny dialogue, crisp black-and-white cinematography, and a well-chosen cast of mostly stage-trained actors raise this eccentric fantasy a notch above the ordinary.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Stefan ThielThough the story is often silly to the point of ridiculous, its goofy tone and charming characters, especially Frazier's Johnny, create a lovely idealization of a long-gone era.
TV Guide Magazine - 4/10 by Ken FoxMimics the kind of comedy that doesn't date particularly well to begin with.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Dennis LimGood-natured but labored, the film clings to its lone gimmick with increasing desperation.
User Review - 10/10 by Johanna AThis entry has no place- no category, no proper place to go. I figured I'd put it under shadowy figures for kicks... Just curious though, why is it that no one EVER EVER UPDATES THEIR JOURNALS OR RETURNS THEIR FRIGGIN PHONE CALLS OR EMAILS?? (Achoo, Full Sail Financial Aid, achoo!) Ok, now that that is over... I'd like to say that I've been thinking about a few movies tonight, namely Man of the Century and State and Main. Thats about it. Stressed and very tired, and tomorrow is IT, tomorrow and then I'm into 35! Yess! Quote: "You can tell your Mister Pitt to go suck a lemon."- Johnny, Man of the Century Lyric: "You must have to act your age, or wind up inside a cage, back in Nagasak..."- Nagasaki, Bobby Short. Song of the Day: Mississippi Mud, Lester Lanin & His Orchestra Adios all!
User Review - 10/10 by Kenzie MFunniest and most creative movie ever. I highly highly recomend it to anyone with a strange sense of humour.
User Review - 10/10 by Mr. & Mrs DI am amazed this is on here! This movie was kickass. I saw it at the Lamar Film festival and I didn't think anyone else would have seen it wow... Awesome movie.
