Ebert & Roeper: 6-29-02

Note: Just before I was about to lose respect for them, this was yet another lame episode of "Ebert & Roeper" and yes, they crapped on "Hey Arnold!: The Movie". Why do critics always dump on high-rated popular cable television shows?

Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper reviews "Harvard Man" (Pretty Forgettable Above-Average Dumb Comedy from writer/director, James Toback who could do better than this. Starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Adrian Grenier, Joey Lauren Adams, Eric Stoltz and Rebecca Gayheart. How did Ebert recommend this is beyond me?); "Pumpkin" (Now this one is way better than "Harvard Man" at least for sure. However, Roeper is too stupid to care. Starring: Christina Ricci and Amy Adams.); "Lovely & Amazing"; "Hey Arnold: The Movie" (Football-Shaped Head Arnold and the rest of his gang are about to save the neighborhood from a crooked real estate developer destroying to build a new mega mall. Based on the Popular Nickelodeon Series by: Craig Barlett which I really love and the movie is good. Unlike Ebert & Roeper who don't know what they are talking about!); "Mr. Deeds" (While not as amazing as the original "Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington" from Writer/Director, Frank Capra and stars James Stewart, which is a classic. But for an Adam Sandler comedy, I enjoyed it. Also stars Winona Ryder, Peter Gallagher, Steve Buscemi and John Turturro. Of course, they both hated it as usual!) and "Read My Lips".

Thumbs Up Video: Roeper's pick is "A Beautiful Mind" and Ebert's pick are "Black Hawk Down" and "The Joy Luck Club". And a recap of Today's program.
