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

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

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

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

Made an easy afternoon watch though none of the shorts were worth screaming about…

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

This is probably the best anthology film I've see. The only thing that brings it down is the Coppola portion of it…

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…

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

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…

Don't care much for the middle story from the Coppolas…
