Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 8/10 by Paul Attanasio"Nothing in Common" is unnecessarily long, and it constantly bogs down in overwrought scenes...
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatPortrays a self-absorbed young man's growth into maturity as he draws closer to his elderly father.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrProfessionalism is both Nothing in Common's greatest strength and its greatest limitation. It's a very finely crafted piece, a product of hard work and careful consideration, yet nothing breaks through the craft--there's no personal drive to it.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeLook at the cast. Look at the director. Need I say more?
Washington Post - 7/10 by Rita KempleyI realize that Nothing in Common wants to surprise us by inserting tragedy in the midst of laughter, but the problem is, the serious parts of this movie are so much more interesting than the lightweight parts that the whole project gets out of balance.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kevin ThomasNothing in Common starts out like yet another yuppie Tom Hanks comedy--until it takes off in a surprising and unexpectedly rewarding direction. Never has Hanks or Jackie Gleason been better.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Walter GoodmanAs long as the story stays with David's wooing of the big Colonial Airlines account and the company president's tough-minded daughter (Sela Ward), a good time is to be had. But in the last half-hour, everybody starts to slobber.
Flavorwire - 6/10 by Jason BaileyIf you can watch that last scene, and Gleason's last line in particular, without fogging up a little bit... well, I don't wanna know you.
Christian Science Monitor - 6/10 by David SterrittAs long as the story stays with David's wooing of the big Colonial Airlines account and the company president's tough-minded daughter (Sela Ward), a good time is to be had. But in the last half-hour, everybody starts to slobber.
User Review - 10/10 by tiffany stom hanks is as equally funny as is serious in this absolutely must see movie.
