Movie Info

Dylan Ramsey is an ordinary guy with a fine life. He's got a great Los Angeles apartment (even with the elderly neighbors' ongoing strip poker game) and a new restaurant about to open. Things are looking good. "Good-looking" is one way to describe Dylan's new next-door neighbor, Lila Dubois, but that would be like calling the Eiffel Tower "a nice building." Both are tall, stunning, extremely French...and somewhat out of Dylan's reach. But he's determined to get Lila's attention. Unfortunately

PG-13, 6 min.

A mundane sitcom with feature pretensions, the kind where the comic 'situation' is simply a coat-rack for hanging a rag-tag assortment of inflated sight gags and telegraphed punch lines.

Spade serves as both star and co-writer of this lame, crass romantic comedy. Most of the jokes he's written fall flat, and his delivery isn't much better.

Nothing but a cynical, astonishingly inept attempt to copy Mary's formula.

If the standards for feature films starring former Saturday Night Live cast members weren't already so low, you could be forgiven for thinking Lost & Found was dragging them down.

It would be difficult to imagine material more wrong for Spade than Lost & Found.

There's not enough story to get you interested in Dylan's plight and not enough laughs to compensate for the lack of a story.

A love story, but Spade is way too smug to appear the slightest bit sincere in his scenes with Marceau for it to work at all on that level.

It's only intermittently funny.

Spade is uncomfortably awkward as a romantic lead -- he's better employed in supporting comic roles.

The toilet humor and There's Something About Mary dog joke retreads lead Lost astray.

Funny for 15 minutes and then fades into mean-spirited cruelty and stupidity.

anyone who went to the movies last summer will recognize 'Lost' for what it is: a diluted variation on 'There's Something About Mary.'

Eminently watchable and enjoyable.

A few good gags and entertaining, don't change how the film is, cliche and silly.
