Nobel Son not only lacks honor, but it's also an undignified mess that should embarrass star Alan Rickman and everyone else involved.  NewsIt’s always ‘Sunny’ for Danny DeVitoby Frank Lovece [Newsday (MCT)][10.Oct.07] :. NEW YORK—He plays cheerfully rich reprobate Frank Reynolds on the anti-“Friends” bar comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (FX, Thursdays). But, really,...  NewsDanny DeVito’s scene on `The View’ has a sweet resolutionby Gail Shister [The Philadelphia Inquirer (MCT)][15.Jun.07] :. PHILADELPHIA - Danny DeVito is turning lemons into limoncello. The tiny actor with the mountainous shadow has parlayed a drunken appearance on “The View” into a new alcohol-driven...  Film ReviewDeck the Halls (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[27.Nov.06] :. How did it happen that such determinedly ugly 'men must learn their holiday lessons' movies are now de rigeur? Romancing the Stone/The Jewel of the Nile (1984)by Nikki Tranter[27.Sep.06] :. Everything in Jewel of the Nile is predictable, right down to the romantic final scenes at sunset. The OH in Ohio (2006)by Marisa Carroll[14.Jul.06] :. The main problem with The OH in Ohio is that most of its hijinks seem cribbed from episodes of Sex and the City -- and we're talking Season Two. Taxi: The Complete Second Seasonby Nikki Tranter[17.Feb.05] :. And so Louie is suddenly a sensitive guy. It's a typically funny and revealing moment in Taxi's second season. Get Shorty (Special Edition) (1995)by Jesse Hassenger[17.Feb.05] :. Sonnenfeld keeps all of this under two hours by cutting the movie at a dazzling clip. The film moves like Travolta, quickly and with style. Taxi: The Complete First Seasonby Nikki Tranter[24.Nov.04] :. If Alex is the dad, Louie is the drunk uncle who visits without calling first.

The American Embassyby Tracy McLoone'The American Embassy', no matter the PR concerning its political environment or interests, is essentially about relationships. What’s the Worst That Could Happen? (2001)by Cynthia FuchsMartin Lawrence and Danny DeVito are doing that non-mating mating dance that buddy characters tend to do, with too much spastic energy and not nearly enough inspiration. Man on the Moon (1999)by Mike WardFar be it from me to accuse Hollywood of wishful thinking. But as the closing credits for Man on the Moon roll under Andy Kaufman's (Jim Carrey's) timid gaze, it's easy to think the film has been seduced by its own notion that a life of sufficient celebrity can offer freedom from the mortality that afflicts ordinary souls. Drowning Mona (2000)by Rhonda BaughmanBut while the last is a truly funny flick starring these two, now, almost 15 years later, even their considerable talents can't salvage the watery mess known as Drowning Mona. The Big Kahuna (2000)by Tobias PetersonThe story of the angst-ridden salesman struggling with his past, coping with regret and searching for meaning in life is a tale that audiences have heard and seen many times before.
