The Mod Squad (1999)
7/10
I liked it!!
12 January 2001
I really liked this film. It was light hearted and funny, but had deep emotional undertones.

The characters could have been developed a little more and I agree with the comment about assuming we knew where it was at from the word go, but that didn't detract from the film for me.

I didn't find Ribisi annoying, if anything, quite endearing really, and Danes and Epps were both very good.

This film is worth watching several times over, I never cease to laugh at the carwash antics!!

Avoid at all costs!!

This film is terrible. So terrible, that when I went to see it at the cinema with 10 other friends, not one of us wanted to stay past the half hour mark. It gave me such satisfaction to be able to display my loathing for such insipid work with my feet. It is not funny, not original and the so called English feel to it, being English, was offensively bad. Don't waste your money on getting this out, go rent blazing saddles again, and leave this for the bottom shelf fiends.

High Spirits (1988)
8/10
It is genuinely funny, the script is witty and the actors superb.

Maybe I have a warped sense of humour (or just a very British one) but I laugh every time I see this film, and I've seen it well over a 100 times over the years. It is genuinely funny, the script is witty and the actors superb. This is one of my all time favourite rainy day films. No matter how times I watch it there are still little things I'd not noticed or things I'd forgotten happen. I strongly suggest getting this film out next time it's raining and you're stuck indoors, and if anyone from the BBC is reading, please put it on next bank holiday!!
