Leave your thoughts about Teddy Bears' Picnic.
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisFeels conceived and shot on the fly -- like between lunch breaks for Shearer's radio show and his ''Simpson'' voice-overs. |
| The New York TimesDave KehrFitfully entertaining molehill of a movie. |
| VarietyScott FoundasDespite its intelligence and a great, funny concept for a movie, this "Picnic" never gets past the appetizers; pic lacks the development needed for a full-length feature and, following a hilarious opening sequence, it becomes tiresomely one-note. |
| L.A. WeeklyPaul MalcolmA satirist such as Shearer should need a license to go hunting on terrain so rich with easy targets; he tries to bag them all, and it leaves the film to founder in aimlessness. |
| Los Angeles TimesJohn AndersonDoes for industrialists, politicians, pro-football owners and lawyers what Christopher Guest's "Best in Show' did for dog owners -- but without the skewer. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardFalls short of the mark, content to shoot fish in a barrel. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxIt doesn't meet the minimum number of laughs to qualify as a comedy -- two would have clinched it -- and it's far too asinine to be taken seriously. |
| New Times (L.A.)Robert WilonskyIt's utterly frustrating: What could and should have been biting and droll is instead a tepid waste of time and talent. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe satire is unfocused, while the story goes nowhere. Too bad. The material is ripe for satire. |
