Two of the great comedians of all time, Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason, joined forces in this 1982 comedy to extraordinarily disappointing results. Loosely based on a French film Le Jouet, The Toy tells the story of a spoiled rich kid who requests that the janitor (Pryor) at his father's (Gleason) department store be his own personal toy for a we...
The tagline for Lola was "She's almost 16... He's almost 40. It may be love, but it's definitely exhausting." Such is the odd, striving-for-comedy vibe of Richard Donner's bizarrely undercooked ode to Lolita. The lackluster screenplay removes any moral complexity from this story of an older man dating a minor, and instead opts for romantic comedy f...
Lorraine Bracco plays the mother of a young Elijah Wood and Jurassic Park's Joseph Mazzello in this fairly reprehensible "family" movie about two young boys coping with abuse at the hands of their mom's new boyfriend. In a woefully bad choice of a screenwriting device, the children use saccharine flights of fancy as a way to escape this abuse, resu...
Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis Jr. play nightclub owners who stumble into a criminal plot in this talent-waster of a comedic caper. The film's biggest joke is that Lawford, who's white, is named Pepper while Davis, who's Black, is named Salt. It's all downhill from there. Davis remains one of the most divinely talented artists of all time, but he de...
Richard Donner was in the running to direct Jurassic Park, and so immediately seized the opportunity to direct the screen adaptation of this lesser-known Michael Crichton book. Alas, the director clashed with Paramount Pictures over the final cut, and the resulting film left critics mostly cold. Viewed now, it's a thoroughly charming Big Dumb Actio...
John Savage plays a depressed man whose failed suicide has left him disabled in this sensitive but surface-level drama. Donner exhibits a real sense of compassion, but the film has frustratingly little to say about the psychology of those who have become disabled or the societal stigma placed on them. Diana Scarwid was nominated for Best Supporting...
Assassins was dinged at the time of its release for being an overly grim actioner missing the fun of Donner's own Lethal Weapon films. The comparison isn't necessarily fair; while the film is a bit too long and moody, it's also a stylishly made thriller with some exciting setpieces and a wild performance from Julianne Moore as an "info thief" named...
The third Lethal Weaponis hardly great, but it's a masterpiece compared to this sputtering fourth and final entry in the series. Donner is clearly at a loss for what new territory to explore here, so he just winds up recycling all the greatest hits from the previous three films, but with a robotic delivery lacking any of those movies' charms. Joe P...
The series would peter out completely with the fourth installment, but the thirdshowed it was already running on fumes and ranks almost as low in the Lethal Weapon franchise. The dynamic between Danny Glover and Mel Gibson betrays signs of auto-pilot mode, Gibson in particular mugging to his heart's content (and to diminishing returns). Joe Pesci, ...
Donner's last film sounds like a typical late-career Bruce Willis action flick but it actually is a pretty inventive, enjoyable ride. Willisplays Jack, an alcoholic cop who's charged with transporting trial witness Eddie Bunker to court. When forces arise attempting to kill Eddie and prevent him from testifying, Jack fights back in a desperate ques...
