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…

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…

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

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

Scorcese: 6/10 it's good but hindered by not feeling real coppola: 2/10 which is sadly even worse than his par after the 70s allen: 7.5/10…

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

Uninteresting material generally mishandled by three directors who should have known better…

Muy interesante a nivel cinematográfico…

This film deserves four stars based solely on the strength of Martin Scorcese's contribution starring Nick Nolte…

Life Lessons is one of Scorsese's finest films and Woody Allen's Oedipus Wrecks is fairly amusing, but the Coppolas' Life Without Zoe is terrible…

LIfe Lessons and Oedipus Wrecks was fantastic, Life Without ZoÃ« on the other hand...so bad, the worst ever directed by Francis Ford Coppola,…
