I just saw it.

It was literally everything one would expect this to be after watching the trailer...or even reading the premise.But because of how it was what I expected,it was watchable.

It was on the edge of "harmless" and "uneducational".It has kids doing what they want.But it's only in some parts,they behave later on.And there's a scene where someone throws a TV on someone else's head without killing the latter.But if we were to ban that,we'd have to ban cartoon.

There was some major miscasting here.Whether they're the good or the bad guys,nobody(and I mean nobody)looks menacing at all.Jackie Chan looks embarassed to be here,Billy Ray Cyrus was just reading lines,but the worst was Katherine Boechner as the evil russian woman.I've heard bad accents...but good God!This was Brian Levant's best directorial effort to date.Does that sound like much?No?That's because it isn't.His shots,and also the continuity,didn't rape my eyes this time.They just touched them inappropriately.But they included cartoon sound effects!WTF!It wasn't as abundant as in LITTLE MAN,but it was still noticeable.

I give this 1/10(could've been 0).

Man, Jackie Chan needs better movie roles.
 
The good:
 
Jackie Chan: Chan is the only good thing here. He's usually the lone bright spot in his (American) movies*.
 
The bad:
 
The children: Dear Hollywood, stop casting terrible child actors in your movies!
 
The script: The amount of cliches in this script is, almost, as large as the number of logic holes in Loose Change**.
 
Brian Levant: The direction for this is very crappy and bland. Mr. Jingle All The Way is crappy and bland in all his movies.
 
The ugly:
 
Billy Ray Cyrus: Miley's father/pimp*** strikes again. Not content to ruin the same genre that contained Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, BRC is dead-set on ruining movies now.
 
George Lopez: OK, who cast George Lopez as the villain? George Lopez is as threatening as those annoying kids mentioned above!
 
Well, that's a bland family film. Thankfully for Jackie, that Karate Kid remake turned out to be not-terrible. Grade: D
 
Next-up: Marmaduke!
 
*There is one Chinese Jackie Chan movie where he's the lone bright spot: Fantasy Mission Force! He's only in there for about 15 minutes, but he kicks a lot of ass in those 15 minutes!
**Funny story, while I was driving home from Le Moyne today, this car that cut me off had a bumper-sticker that said: "9/11 was an inside job." I'd like a bumper-sticker that says: "9/11 wasn't an inside job. Go back to your Phish concert hippie."
***If Encyclopedia Dramatica is to be believed.

No, they don't combine movies into one award nod.]]> Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:16:28 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4055&PID=35858#35858 THE SPY NEXT DOOR : Do I SPY a Likely Contender?? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4055&PID=35842#35842 Author: Vits

This one was by far one of the worst movies I've seen this year.

Worst Supporting Actor Billy Ray Cyrus, Magnus Scheving, Lucas Till, and/or George Lopez (also for Valentine's Day and Marmaduke)
 
Cyrus will probably get a second (consecutive!) Worst Supporting Actor nomination. Lopez was in THREE horrible movies this year so he has a good shot at a nomination. Scheving and Till are definitely longshots.

Yes. UNBELIEVABLE.

Um, no. There has NEVER been a good live action adaptation to this day. Those examples are considered among the worst. "Popeye" was considered a huge bomb, "Josie" was just one long inside joke about product placement in movies, and "George", while faithful, wasn't anything to write home about. And now that the flavor of the month is Hollywood doing adaptations of Japanese anime series, which have all been bombs so far, we're not going to have that one "good" adaptation any time soon.]]> Tue, 19 Oct 2010 16:50:39 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4055&PID=35371#35371 THE SPY NEXT DOOR : Do I SPY a Likely Contender?? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4055&PID=35369#35369 Author: Vits

The closest to "good" a live-action adaptation of a cartoon there has ever been was with POPEYE, JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS and/or "GEORGE" OF THE JUNGLE, but they all got mixed reviews. Not to mention that only the latter is considered faithful to its source.]]> Tue, 19 Oct 2010 16:33:26 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4055&PID=35369#35369 THE SPY NEXT DOOR : Do I SPY a Likely Contender?? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4055&PID=35366#35366 Author: BurnHollywoodBurn

How many screenwriters does it take to write a good live action adaptation of an animated TV series? The world may never know! ]]> Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:59:20 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4055&PID=35366#35366
