Curly Sue Reviews

I have noticed that John Hugues’ movies are really popular but, honestly, except for ‘The Breakfast Club’, none of them have really impressed me and this movie was not an exception, in the contrary. Indeed,  it was the last movie directed by the late John Hughes and I thought it was, by far, his worst one. I mean, I mentioned earlier that I wasn’t a huge fan of his work but, at least, they were at least fun and entertaining whereas this flick was just seriously tedious to watch. Seriously, not only the plot was obviously impossible but, above all, it was just terribly sentimental and cheesy. On top of that, James Belushi is not among my favorite actors and he didn't blew my mind once again here. Like I said earlier, the whole thing was just so sentimental and, above all, just plain boring. As a result, I didn't care at all about the story or the characters involved. Surprisingly, Roger Ebert actually did like this flick, even more than ‘Home Alone’ which is also overrated in my book though. To conclude, it is a shame that John Hugues ended his directing career with such an underwhelming flick and it is definitely not worth a look in my opinion.
