Movie Reviews by Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas)

Tell a friend about this articleTell a friend about Phil on Films

This week's movies are surprisingly above-average Hollywood fare. Dogs, guns, bouncing breasts, and Mexicans all feature heavily. Well, three out of four ain't bad!

See Spot Run
Starring David Arquette and a dog
The tagline for this movie is: The smart one isn't wearing any pants. Heh heh, ain't that the truth! That's right, the real star of this movie is an FBI super-pooch who sniffs up a little too much Bolivian marching powder and ends up in the hands of a dumb mailman. The mailman is played by David Arquette, that's the fella from them collect-call ads, and going on this performance I'd say he's going to be using that feature awful regular in the future. Arquette, you suck! 1-800-Y-O-U-S-U-C-K!

As for the rest of the movie, well, it's the usual old nonsense. Boy meets dog, boy feeds dog, dog blah blah blah. Whatever. This was one dumb movie. But... the smart one isn't wearing any pants. Heh, now that's funny!
Two Flags out of Five

The Mexican
Starring Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt
I had my doubts about going to see a movie called "The Mexican", but when I got there I discovered that it is, in fact, a movie about Brad Pitt shooting Mexicans! Well hell, why didn't they just call it "Brad Pitt Shoots Some Mexicans"? You can guarantee that it would be a box office success with a title like that. But "The Mexican"? I predict that this movie will be out of theaters within three weeks.

Which is a shame, because it ain't bad, especially the bits where Brad Pitt shoots Mexicans. Yeehaw! Aside from that, there's some intrigue involving the mafia and a priceless antique pistol. I didn't quite understand that part of the plot though.

After wasting her talent in the Erin Brockovich debacle, I was pleased to see Julia Roberts displaying her charms in a role more suited to her. Yes, instead of running around championing women's "rights" and environmentalist wackoism, she runs around in a tiny tank-top like a true Hollywood filly, standing by her man and jiggling her funbags.

New On Video

Meet The Parents
An excellent instructional video for parents dealing with potentially Jewish in-laws.

The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
The fat guy from "The Full Monty" and the Baldwin Nobody Cares About team up for 90 minutes of crap.

Rules Of Engagement
This is the movie that Al Gore and Joe Lieberman went to see during Decision 2000. Heh heh! You lost! Get over it, suckers! Sore Loserman! Get outta Cheney's house!
