Reviews for Bicentennial Man
Click your red slippers Dorothy; here comes Holiday Ho-Ho-Hokum sprinkling with cheer, but devoid of pressing issues, Y2K fears, and anything closely resembling controversy.
In a perfect world, I would have gotten sick with a stomach virus 45 minutes into this film, ran out of the theater, puked all over the place, and then proceeded to leave with a smile on my face.
The lack of any real conflict makes Bicentennial Man seem even longer than it is.
The worst kind of movie -- one with no direction, no identity, and above all no heart.
Tries to win our hearts without doing much for our brains or our funny bones, and it just doesn't work.
