Re: Potential Worst Track?
Although there are some great quotes from his UHF review:
"Those who laugh at "UHF" should inspire our admiration; in these dreary times we must treasure the easily amused."
Way to um..diss the movie AND the people who watch it. That's talented writing my friends.
Edit: The views expressed in Ebert's quote are Ebert's views and not mine, before I'm caught in a storm of people who think I'm dissing them. I love UHF, and own three copies of it, one of which has the crap autographed out of it.

And the potentially worst tracks in Al's career are the spoken word segments of the UHF soundtrack.

Yeah, Al does better without skits.
And because every body cares, I too like UHF.

Roger Ebert gave You Don't Mess With the Zohan a good review.JCM wrote:Roger Ebert didn't record a single laugh throughout the entire movie.
That should show you how bad it is. But back on topic. What truly is the worst track?

Most movie reviewers are a joke anyway. They seem to be less interested in actually reviewing a movie than in competing with each other for who can write the most clever insults. They really should get jobs writing for sitcoms.

Re: Potential Worst Track?
Ebert and all other reviewers have always had the worst things to say about the best movies... they're evil and should burn in hell... UHF is a movie that the hardcore fans will love, I watch that movie all the time, it may be slow in parts, but what the reviewers don't recognize is that UHF has a massive cult following, so their reviews don't matter anyway. I make my own opinions and therefore don't need theirs. When someone tells me a movie or song sucks, that makes me want to see or hear it that much more, cause I may just like it..

Also, though Ebert is one of the more reputable critics, and he raised good points in the review, it's not why I think UHF is bad. If the audience he was in didn't laugh once, it would be reasonable to assume the movie wasn't humorous, wouldn't it?

Id consider myself quite hardcore, yet I dont love UHF. Does that mean Im not as hardcore as I thought?joseyklein wrote:Ebert and all other reviewers have always had the worst things to say about the best movies... they're evil and should burn in hell...

Re: Potential Worst Track?
I think, as Jace said, that UHF is a funny comedy movie, but it wasn't a laugh-a-minute like a lot of fans seem to act like it was. Would I watch it again/buy it. Sure. Would I stay up for a midnight premier of a rescreening? No.
