Austin Powers in Goldmember

It ain’t solid gold – even if certain parts of it are.

Money Train

All aboard! Next stop, Mediocrity.

Hot Shots! Part Deux

Contains roughly deux funny bits.

Platoon

Not for Nam-by pambies (“Nam”, geddit? As in VietNAM, you see? No? Oh, just forget it).

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult

Frank Drebin bows out in style – and remember, “this is not goodbye. It’s just I won’t ever see you again.”

Saving Private Ryan

Stonewall proof that Steven Spielberg, while a marvellous film-maker, possesses not a single cynical bone in his body. Which is actually kinda nice, in a Forrest Gumpy sort of way.

Scream 3

When the only thing remotely scary about a so-called horror movie turns out to be Courteney Cox’s wig, you know it’s been a long two hours.

American Pie 2

This slice is a little lukewarm – stick it back in the microwave. On second thoughts, DON’T do that – DVDs and microwaves don’t mix.

Bridget Jones's Diary

You won’t have too much trouble keeping up with this particular Jones – but you might enjoy it. If you like that sort of thing.

Mike Bassett: England Manager

A football comedy that just scores a few too many own goals.
