We are the playthings of the gods.
Roger Ebert
Image
Someone once said the fundamental reason we get married is because have a universal human need for a witness.
Roger Ebert
Image
We laugh, that we may not cry.

Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.

It is universally agreed that Jean Renoir was one of the greatest of all directors, and he was also one of the warmest and most entertaining.
Roger Ebert
Image
We can't help identifying with the protagonist. It's coded in our movie-going DNA.
Roger Ebert
Image
Reese Witherspoon is as cute as a button on Raggedy Ann's overalls, but irresistible raw sex appeal is not one of her qualities.

Growing up, I missed the whole 'Three Stooges' thing. Either they weren't on the station in my hometown, or we hadn't bought a TV set yet, or they came to town too late for me. I'm pretty sure that at the right age, I would have loved them.

It's strange: We leave the movie having enjoyed its conclusion so much that we almost forgot our earlier reservations. But they were there, and they were real.

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson star. I neglected to mention that, maybe because I was trying to place them in this review's version of the Witness Protection Program. If I were taken off the movie beat and assigned to cover the interior design of bowling alleys, I would have some idea of how they must have felt as they made this film.

Here's a notion: Peace in the Middle East would come about more easily if the region were governed by women.
Roger Ebert
Image
In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.
Roger Ebert
Image
Well, you know what, I'm 60 years old, and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.
Roger Ebert
Image
Blockbusters run the mainstream industry. We may never again have a decade like the 1970s, when directors were able to find such freedom.
Roger Ebert
Image
The fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday. And we've had a concerted policy of taking money away from the poor and giving it to the rich wholesale, and at the same time, we have the runaway corporations, and the greed.
Roger Ebert
Image
It is not enough for a movie to be righteous. It must also be watchable.
Roger Ebert
Image
If you plan to miss this movie, better miss it quickly I doubt if it'll be around to miss for long.
Roger Ebert
Image
If there's anything I hate more than a stupid action comedy, it's an incompetent stupid action comedy. It's not so bad it's good. It's so bad it's nothing else but bad.
Roger Ebert

To call A Lot like Love dead in the water is an insult to water.
Roger Ebert

Only enormously talented people could have made Death to Smoochy . Those with lesser gifts would have lacked the nerve to make a film so bad, so miscalculated, so lacking any connection with any possible audience.
