Ah, Bailey….

Roeper (like Siskel) could be such an elitist when he wanted to be.

Jan Smithers married James Brolin before he finally married Barbra Strietsand.

17:12 for Porky's Revenge review 23:22 for Friday the 13th Part 5 review

Controversial opinion: Roeper's review is completely understandable from someone who's clearly not a Tolkien fan but still has to express his experience watching it, especially since it was only part one and nobody knew if the trilogy would stick the landing or not.

Now that’s a damn shame when Siskel and Ebert be throwing away a perfectly good movie like that

Richard Roeper is a moron...

“Short but he hustles”. Ouch 😂😂

Just saw the movie today, after seeing clips of it in many other places throughout the years. Had 3, maybe 4 laughs, was constantly amused or thinking "I can see how that'd be funny.". So not a great comedy, very slow, specially near the end, when I though it was wrapping up it went on for 15 more minutes.

The technology in this movie was incredible for the time. Unfortunately I cant see this type of movie ever being made today. My brother and I (he was 11 and I was 10) had to sneak up and watch this.

More than a classic...so real life...the dogs eating the turkey, Ralphie and the F-bomb, the scary Santa, the whiney kid who wouldn't eat...a beloved holiday film to be treasured.

Ebert & Wormtongue

The best thing of this movie is it's not silly like almost all the 80s comedies. Is intelligent, it has a heart, very good developed characters and a sharp point of view of the human being. Aykroyd and Murphy's has a lot of chemistry too

I had to stop watching this after Roeper said that he hates Lawrence of Arabia. That’s foolish.

Back on February 11th, 1936 there was another Miracle on Ice as Great Britain defeated Canada 2-1 and eventually won the GOLD MEDAL at the 1936 Winer Olympics behind the Goaltending of JIMMY FOSTER! Are there any Films of the Complete Games Played by that 1936 British Team in storage anywhere?

This episode is absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣! I love it when they dog out movies. Their review of the Friday the 13th movie was the best review of this episode 😂!

I grew up with these guys, and I do like them, but they're so wrong so often.

Cute.

Daphne before to be Princess Vespa!

Not as good santa clause the movie

Electric dreams needs to be rereleased in theatres at least for a bit. I’d love to see it in person AND see it get popular :3

It's a great film. Bob Hoskins should have been nominated for Best Actor for this. What director Robert Zemeckis was able to do with him in this film is nothing short of stunning. Deservedly, this was a star-making performance for Mr. Hoskins.

RIP both Gene and Roger, I miss both of them!!

This movie rules!!! Forget what they say!!!

I thought the confusion the letter was causing between the adult parents was the best part of the movie.

I love this movie and quote it constantly. Although I don’t agree that Siskel and Ebert disliked it because I love it I have to give them credit that they saw the potential in it, and would later praise De Vito’s direction later in War of the Roses Hoffa and Matilda. While I don’t agree with their opinion on the whole they praised some of the greatest parts of the movie and I give them credit for that.

"young hobbit"

Roger for the win👍

Roger Ebert was wrong much of the time, and Gene was once in a while. They both blew it here.

I'm surprised Roger & Gene didn't mention that this is a gender flip on the old Cyrano de Bergerac story! We've seen film adaptations from the traditional view before such as Roxanne with Steve Martin as the Cyrano type character. He's intelligent and funny and interesting but because he's not good looking he has trouble getting women to want him. His friend is hot and all the women want him but he's dumb as a stick and boring. Thus the problem. Well The Truth About Cats and Dogs just flips the story with two women after the same guy. This time Janeane is supposed to be the Cyrano character, funny and smart but ugly so she can't get guys. Except that Janeane isn't ugly, in fact she's downright beautiful in this film. So in that sense I'm not sure it works as well as it should. I still like it though!

What movie/show is this

just wow….talk about casting pearls at..well u know how that ends. An epic masterpiece in front of him and this guy is obviously waay too cool for it, apparently. This episode has not aged well at-all. Hopefully Roeper got sent back to film school for some remedial classes, cause boy he sure did need to.

I have to agree with Roeper.... ive sat in 3 hour movies before and fellowship bored me... 2 towers and return are much better but fellowship is not a great opener

Always leave it to Siskel to be a buzz kill

Remember 9/11 victims. 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

I was 10 years old when they won the gold medal. That summer Herb had a hockey school & I was lucky enough to attend. Got to meet a lot of the players on the medal team. What an honor ! I still have my helmet that all of them signed ! RIP Herb

In Richard Roeper, they discovered a film critic even more joyless and cork sniffing elitist than Gene Siskel. That's quite a feat.

"I'll make it." 😭

You know what, it is personal opinion but, these two boring farts haven't a clue!

this movie prophesized the FUTURE........look around you.......the Nerds won lol

I can understand. I remember people in the theaters going, "That's the end?" Everyone I talked to said it ended weird, but they liked it. Some scenes could have been edited down.

Mr. Roeper gushed about Attack of the Clones, also released about this time. The man is entitled to his opinion but, man……

Bill gates’ real dad 🤓

If only Siskel & Ebert went to high school for 7 1/2 years, they wouldn’t be such dummies. This review was worth $2

Even this moron was won over by the end of the trilogy. That tells you how amazing it is.

Said to find out later, that this was the first unintentional jump to reality TV, where they had to fake the drama and fake the disagreements to keep it interesting.

It was kind of a lame movie. Gene’s right: the characters are so basic.

What the hell was Gene Siskel thinking? It’s arguably the greatest sports film ever put on celluloid.

TDIL: Who Richard Roeper is TDIL: Richard Roeper is a moron

They put their noses up in the air but they are up their behinds and they like the smell.
