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…

Scorsese's segment is awesome, Coppola's is fucking terrible, and Allen's is just kinda there…

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

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…

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

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

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

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

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

The first story is so and so, the second is really bad but the third is good and funny…

Looking at this as a whole it suffers because of the stinker in the middle…
