Siskel & Ebert - THE Worst of 1994 (North)

[@hrebec97]

My 73 year old mother, who loved movies, stood up in the cinema while watching 1 hour into this movie, and barked out, “This is total crap!” She had asked me to see this movie due to the well known cast, so I took her with reservations. The laugh that came from the 40 or so attendees (250 seat theater) was by far the biggest laugh of the movie. Someone went to the concessions and gave her a box of Good ‘n’ Plenty. The audience was the kindest group of people I have ever seen. I was embarrassed when she stood up and told her to sit because we spent $15 to watch that crap and we were going to see every minute of it. After that, she was a religious watcher of Siskel and Ebert. The movie was terrible, but the experience was hilarious!

When you learn that Alan Zweibel, who wrote the novel that North is based on (yes, there is a novel. Wikipedia told me) also co-wrote and co-produced the movie, it really makes you wonder if the novel was any good to begin with

[@spencerhensley5495]

Well the novel has mostly been forgotten since it was written in 84 and it wasn’t even popular enough to really warrant a movie adaptation. It was only when Rob Reiner agreed to direct that someone even took it seriously because of his excellent directorial reputation at the time. So most people probably don’t even know the book exists. Many people don’t even really know about the movie except of course Roger Ebert’s hatred for it. Had it not been for that the movie would have been forgotten literally decades ago.

2:37 my reaction to the little mermaid 2023 remake

[@easmsagentandjapanrailwaysfan2]

2:37 I think so too, this is where most people react to the 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Some people say they *_despise_* this version. And to put it this way... They HATED the 2023 remake of The Little Mermaid. They HATED, HATED, HATED, HATED, HATED the 2023 remake. They hated every single bit of it, especially with the new voice actors pumping in from their original voice actors. This is why they stick to the original adaptation of The Little Mermaid, which is the 1989 animated film. Which I don't get, because I'm neutral to the 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, and I'm getting some Buddy Hackett-like vibes from the "dinglehopper" part by Awkwafina just thinking about it. So yeah, some people came to this video from the 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

[@LittleJohnandBaloo]

The same goes for the 2019 live-action Aladdin remake. The reprise version of "Prince Ali" is missing, and it lacks originality rather than the 1992 animated film. That's why the 1992 animated version is better than the 2019 live-action remake, and they HATED every single bit of it. Not even only one reprise song is added to this said 2019 remake, and that's why this version is lacking classic personality.

[@littlejohnandbaloo9701]

No wonder why The Walt Disney Company is being too "modern" these days. What ever happened to originality? The reason why the company are so modern is that they lack the audacity to bring back originality and instead having other songs a completely different number, and adding more mundane and verbose contexts to the overall original script, which I don't get it because every movie we watch happens to be too modern or have not enough originality comparing to that of the animated films from the 1900's age. Surely some movies fit better to our taste, and some movies do not. Of why some movies do not fit our taste is, because of it being too modern or having no sense in not modernizing the songs so that it just looks a bit decent or it does not have the full extent to originate some classic songs from recent animated films. And that is what makes this company being too modern and not having sense in originality.

[@thefirstfrederickdarkwingc1966]

.... And not to mention the casting is a bit off at the ending of every Disney movie we watch compared to the animated ones. But in all seriousness, where's the exact timing of the original casting used on each Disney movie we watch on theaters and at home? It's like they didn't add their respective actors/voice actors into the casting list. The Walt Disney Company should be responsible in adding actors/voice actors whom they are deceased (restored by artificial intelligence for the deceased), or whom they are active instead of retaining or adding new actors to every casting of every movie we watch. It lacks proper timing of the casting role.

[@easmsagentandjapanrailwaysfan2]

Hey, at least give credit to the other live-action adaptation of those beloved movies, like the 2019 live-action remake of The Lion King, and the 2017 live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. While they show little taste of originality, the songs are well-written and preserved to the next level. Even the script is more redefined. It gives viewers a bit of a historical background. While these movies are not exactly the best movies, it is likely comparable to the respective 1991 and 1994 animated films. And, the voice actors: Everyone talks about the voice actors. Especially the one in the 2019 live-action remake of The Lion King. While it is true that these new voice actors lack the same timing and humor as the voice actors from the 1994 animated film, they are easily comparable.

[@spencerhensley5495]

I think this premise could have worked for a children’s film. It had potential but Rob Reiner sadly wasted his and his cast’s talent by approaching it in a way headed for disaster. Being Carl Reiner’s son and due to his dads close friendship and partnership with Mel Brooks I get that Rob was trying to follow Mel’s example with puns and visual jokes. The problem is the jokes were done in such a subtle way and were way too inappropriate for a children’s film. I know children’s films tend to have an adult joke or two in them but in this way it was just done unfunny and offensive. Also Mel Brooks and the guys who made Airplane and Naked Gun knew that in order to make some puns and visual gags work you needed to remind the audience it was a joke. Here Rob Reiner’s subtle approach doesn’t make it seem like it’s a joke more that it wants to make you cringe. The premise could have worked if handled well. A kid leaving and looking for new parents has potential for a family movie but everything was wrong headed at the script level and Reiner and his cast were too talented and smart not to understand that. I mean this guy made some of the best movies ever in the 80’s and one of the best family movies with Princess Bride so I cannot legitimately believe he didn’t look at this script and saw nothing wrong with it.

When NoComedy Channel roasted Rob Reiner, Richard Belzer came up and started bashing Reiner for North. For a second, Reiner looked shocked, then laughed, remembering, "Oh, yeah, you were in North!" Then, Belzer pulled out Ebert's review, and starts to read it, then he stopped, handed it to Reiner and said, "This is YOUR movie! You read this!" And, absolutely game, Reiner stepped up to the podium and read it very dramatically. Then he turned to the audience and said, "You know, if you read between the lines, it's not so bad!!" 🤣🤣 Yes, it IS, Rob. And you know it too!

2:37 My reaction to rise of skywalker

[@TheChrisminator19]

I have to agree with them on this one because it is the worst movie when it got released in 1994. One of the dumbest scenes in this when Barker (played by Richard Belzer) mimics North's (played by Elijah Wood) tone. It is shown at the 2:08 minute mark. I imagined that North tells Barker to stop. He refused because the late Abe Vigoda has to go. What was he trying to say after he was interrupted by Barker? I also hate the other scene where Arthur Belt (played by Jon Lovitz) screamed "No comment" right into the cameraman's face. The news reporter will get angry as she says, "You do not say that to my cameraman like that, I am trying to talk to the boy here." North will come to her defense as he tells Arthur that he is going to talk to the reporter. They recycled the same tone just like he did to the cows in "A League of Their Own" movie which he co-starred with Tom Hanks in 1992. He says to North by going, "Will you shut up, North! You're not going to talk to no one because I want her and her cameraman outta here. Now shut up and mind your business!" and turned away. North refused to mind his business as he says, "No, This is my business, Mr. Belt." Arthur Belt gets really mad as he orders him to mind his business. I do give Reba McEntire some credit in this because I am a huge fan of her music.

2:37 My reaction to trolls 3 band together and Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny

[@rickramos1292]

This was made during an era when stereotypes weren't anywhere nearly as offensive as they are today. It was quite the norm to see Black actors cast as comedy relief sidekicks in films alongside White costars. What was offensive to me is the comedy relief didn't come from the script but from the character's Blackness. Or like in "Sister Act," where an entire narrative is formed around a Black person spicing things up and bringing soul into the lives of boring, stale White people and she does this all by merely being Black (and, of course, a wanted criminal who goes into hiding). The 1990's big screens were awash in very brazen stereotyping and nobody even seemed to notice or care about any of it. This is why I find this 1994 review particularly scathing in that it had to have been REALLY offensive on a whole different level for it to generate such hate and contempt from critics who had a huge amount of power over the outcomes of many films and who were aware of this and were as tolerant as possible in their reviews so as to not kill off a movie that probably didn't deserve it. Here, they have no limits, no filter, they don't care how badly the film tanks due to their reviews. If it's bad, it's bad. There really is no way around it. I'm glad Ebert made it a point to mention Elijah Wood's performance being as good as always and that he's a talented young actor all of which were true. Some critics would've likely unfairly placed the burden on the young actor and negatively influenced his career.

At the beginning Gene says he considered picking Mixed Nuts as the worst film of 1994 over North. North is not a good movie don’t get me wrong. Very few jokes really work, I only laughed maybe once or twice and some scenes and jokes are cringeworthy and tasteless but North is also an interesting watch if nothing else to analyze where it all went wrong with so much talent behind and in front of the camera and to analyze if it could have really worked. The Alaskan scene is really the one thing I found the most offensive as well as the ending. Having it be a dream was insulting to the audience and nothing made sense as a result. Everything else was just unfunny. But again it’s interesting to watch and see where everything went wrong. Mixed Nuts on the other hand was just trash and WAY WAY worse than North. Another case of so many good actors in a horrible movie. But unlike North it’s not even interesting because of its failure. It’s borderline unwatchable at least I personally could finish North.

Personally I am not offended except that it offends my sense of taste and esthetic. (It takes a lot to gross me out).

Everyone on the internet: wOrSt MoViEs LiStS sPrEaD nEgAtIvItY.” These guys have been doing it long before the internet exists. Nobody gave them shit for that, so why when KZbin movie critics do it, it’s bad?

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

Probably because the lack of internet meant you couldn't spew rubbish out for the public to hear.
