The Great Mouse Detective (1986) |
Small children may be afraid of some of the bad characters -- the Disney Studio's gift for creating really nasty bad guys means that they are scary -- but they will love the cute, brave mice and cheer their triumphs. Adults will enjoy the wit and style. - New York Times

My Little Pony (1986) |
The little ponies are like those pastel heart candies that have little messages on them such as ''I luv you.'' You can eat a few, but too many make you sick. - New York Times

Dangerously Close (1986) |
Unfortunately, the adolescent world created within the film extends to its conception. - New York Times

Back to School (1986) |
The film is a good-natured potpourri of gags, funny bits, populist sentiment and anti-intellectualism. - New York Times

One Crazy Summer (1986) |
John Cusack and Demi Moore are such charming personalities that they are appealing even in so silly a setting. There is a good chemistry between them. It would be interesting to see them make a film together, instead of being stock figures. - New York Times

Million Dollar Mystery (1987) |
I hate to make the film itself an afterthought, but that's what it is. All things considered, it could be a lot worse. - New York Times

Cobra (1986) |
The film trades on the same technique used by books that attack pornography by printing examples of the dirty pictures. Cobra pretends to be against the wanton violence of a disintegrating society, but it's really the apotheosis of that violence. - New York Times

Poltergeist II (1986) |
It tries too hard, offers too many explanations, is too unsubtle and ends up losing the sense of illusion and mystery that caught, in the first film, the dark underside of childhood. - New York Times

Belizaire the Cajun (1986) |
The film is plagued by too many long, dead moments in which the story doesn't seem to be getting anywhere and attention wanders. - New York Times

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) |
In this film [Hughes] has created a character who is every teen-ager's fantasy, but in the process he has lost some of the authenticity of his other films. - New York Times
