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…

Great Cast... probably in one of Neil's Worst screenplays yet however... rarely funny, often embarassingly awful…

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…

I don't know why people are so hard on Francis…

Good idea but uneven execution…

Go ahead and skip through the middle coppola section. the scorsese part is the main feature…

Like a sandwich that has absolutely wonderful, tasty bread, with not-so-great filling…

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

Muy interesante a nivel cinematográfico…

Five stars for Scorsese's segment, which is one of the best short films of all time, and for Allen's segment, which is highly enjoyable and…

Any movie with completely different short stories shoved together is never going to be 100% great. They are almost always a mixed bag…

Three great directors serve up a pretty hit and miss affair. My favourite of the three is Woody Allens bit…

As a whole it's average but that's because the Coppola film is horrible. The other two are decent…
