Critics Consensus

An entertaining mystery that’s also rich in setting and character detail, Chan Is Missing suggests thrilling potential from director/co-writer Wayne Wang
 

Audience Consensus

Chan Is Missing is a film that proves you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact. Director Wayne Wang’s debut is a clever and funny take on the Asian American experience, with standout performances from Wood Moy and Marc Hayashi. It’s a film that will make you laugh, think, and maybe even question your own assumptions. Plus, who doesn’t love a good mystery? Chan may be missing, but this film is definitely not one to miss.

 Wayne Wang’s playfully enigmatic debut was a watershed for Asian American filmmakers.

 Wood Moy and Marc Hayashi serve notice that they are actors worthy of more films. But the lion’s share of the credit for Chan Is Missing must go to director Wang, who with this one tricky little film serves notice that he is a filmmaker to watch.

 Chan Is Missing is craftily iconoclastic; unlike so many big-budgeted Hollywood genre-splicings and sendups, it sledgehammers old forms, not just for the heck of it, but with an eye toward building something new.

 Chan Is Missing tells a story, and tells it well, and young filmmaker Wayne Wang, who produced, wrote, directed and edited, shows a great deal of talent.

 Although the film’s inordinately low budget lets us see too many seams in both the cinematography and editing, it also reminds us that technical flaws can be overcome by a story and characters that vibrate with sincerity, warmth, compassion and humor.

Critics Consensus

Terrifying and funny in almost equal measure, John Landis’ horror-comedy crosses genres while introducing Rick Baker’s astounding make-up effects
 

Audience Consensus

An American Werewolf in London is a howling good time! This movie is a perfect blend of horror and comedy that will leave you both scared and laughing. The special effects may be a bit dated, but the transformation scene is still a marvel to watch. John Landis did an excellent job of mixing wacky and terrifying touches to keep moviegoers eerily disarmed. If you’re a fan of creature feature filmmaking, this movie is a must-watch. Just be prepared to feel a bit uncomfortable in your own skin afterwards!

Storyline

Two American college students are on a walking tour of Britain and are attacked by a werewolf. One is killed, the other is mauled. The werewolf is killed but reverts to its human form, and the local townspeople are unwilling to acknowledge its existence. The surviving student begins to have nightmares of hunting on four feet at first but then finds that his friend and other recent victims appear to him, demanding that he commit suicide to release them from their curse, being trapped between worlds because of their unnatural deaths.

 David’s writhing discomfort in his own skin marks not just the monstrous metamorphosis in and of genre, but also that deep sense of estrangement experienced by any well-meaning if gauche tourist tripping up on local lore and mores.

 I suspect Landis hoped to keep moviegoers eerily disarmed with an unpredictable mixture of wacky and terrifying touches. Unfortunately, his own touch… is so slack and uncertain that the movie ends up dramatically shapeless.

 Scary-funny is an acquired taste. For me, it tends to be a recipe in which you can’t taste either of the constituent ingredients. The big man-to-wolf transformation scene is still a marvel.

 There is something inexpressibly fresh and zany in this kind of macabre humor, a delighting in the sheer movie nonsense of it all, that makes American Werewolf a wacky marriage of the sophomoric and the surreal.

Audience Consensus

The Jerk is a classic comedy that will have you laughing from start to finish. With Steve Martin’s signature goofiness and hilarious sight gags, this movie is a must-watch for any comedy fan. Sure, some of the jokes may fall flat, but the ones that hit will have you in stitches. Plus, with supporting roles from Jackie Mason and Bernadette Peters, you can’t go wrong. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and get ready to laugh until you cry.

THE JERK
 All Critics (42) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (35) | Rotten (7)
 The verbal and conceptual gags… belong wholly to Martin’s own brand of goofiness, and some of them are pretty funny.

 Within ts limitations, The Jerk is a capably produced entertainment, seasoned by deft bit performances from several actors…

 Its humor is successful and unsuccessful by turns, and although Comedian Carl Reiner is the director, the instinct here is to give most of both credit and blame to Martin.

 TIME Magazine
 TOP CRITIC
 An artless, non-stop barrage of off-the-wall situations, funny and unfunny jokes, generally effective and sometimes hilarious sight gags and bawdy non sequiturs.

 The comedy runs out of steam when the jerk makes good, but laugh for laugh it’s probably a better investment than 10.

 TOP CRITIC
 We get the sense at times that the cast and crew arrived at a location, found the script bankrupt of real laughs, and started looking around for funny props.

 TOP CRITIC
 Every scene offers something funny; every scene subverts expectations.

 Brian Eggert
 Deep Focus Review
 With comedy legend Carl Reiner directing and unforgettable supporting roles from Jackie Mason and Bernadette Peters, the result is an incredible mix of barbed satire, silly pratfalls, and, at its core, sweetness.

 Brian Costello
 Common Sense Media
 There are some heavenly jokes (especially the one where he makes a fortune inventing an absurd nose support for spectacles), and Martin is in best “manic” mode.

 Radio Times
 This is Martin at his absolute silliest, and therefore most brilliant.

 Starburst
 The ingenious thing about this film is the way it can take serious situations and drastically interfere with them using an unexpected comedy device.

 Gone With The Twins
 Carl Reiner, who has made his own contributions to comedy with Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks and Dick Van Dyke, does little to set a mood or rhythm or even an aura of good feeling that will carry audiences over the slow spots.
