"One of the best movies of the year and by far the most entertaining" | ||
|
|
|
"How cool can a mere movie be? A perfect cast and great script, based on a hilariously witty best seller, are key elements" | ||
|
|
|
"A small jewel (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||
|
|
|
"If you thought John Travolta was divine in "Pulp Fiction," just wait till you see how suave and winning he is in 'Get Shorty'" | ||
|
|
|
"Unlike Chili, 'Get Shorty' is not going to knock anybody out, but in the category of amiable diversions it’s awfully tough to improve on." | ||
|
|
|
"A smart, shrewdly crafted movie" | ||
|
|
|
"With 'Get Shorty', Sonnenfeld has shown that broad appeal doesn't necessarily equate with stupidity. That's a lesson Hollywood should learn." | ||
|
|
|
"An entertaining comedy-thriller directed with bounce (if not much nuance) by Barry Sonnenfeld." | ||
|
|
|
"A drolly offbeat look at Hollywood mores dedicated to the proposition that the best preparation for becoming a film producer is a stint in the criminal underworld." | ||
 |
|
"By turns satirically glamorous and seedily dark." |
