Review of Just the Ticket (1998)

By James H (4,675) on 07 Nov 2007

I just didn't like this film. Part of the problem is I am not at all an Andy Farcia fan, he's doing his wannabe Al Pacino bit as usual…

It's never clear, by the way, why any of this is supposed to be even remotely funny...This is the kind of movie asinine enough to believe that…

More Reviews of New York Stories

The Scorsese and Allen segments are solid - but the middle segment by FF Coppola is a mediocre kids movie that doesn't fit in at all with the others…

I loved Scorsese and Allen's segments- these were wonderfully contrasted pieces. Coppola's, however, is rather pithy in comparision…

I only got to see Scorcese's story which was really good…

The Scorsese segment features great performances and direction, but isn't overly exciting. The Coppola segment is an absolute bore…

Interesting array of shorts, with Scorsese's effort standing out most…

The use of Whiter Shade of Pale is the mean reason why I remembered this film, which is weird considering the floating head of Woody Allens…

Description: ''New York Stories is a 1989 anthology film; it consists of three shorts, with the central theme being New York City…

100% skippable. Even the good parts are irrelevant. The actors all do an excellent job, but the material in all 3 stories is weak…

Three short stories, one each directed by Scorcese, Coppola, and Woody Allen…

Life Lessons'' directed by Martin Scorcese: 4 out of 5 stars''Life without Zoe'' directed by Francis F…
