100

San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann

The result is a sprightly, entertaining film, but one in which the satire is neutralized for laughs.

New Times (L.A.) Bill Gallo

If there's any justice in moviedom, this summer's feel-good hit will be an unassuming Dutch comedy called Everybody's Famous!

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Hearty mainstream comedy with a sharp satirical edge balanced with just enough sentimentality to send audiences home happy.

Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum

This is the first feature I've seen by writer-director Dominique Deruddere, and I hope it won't be the last.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Light summer fun with a Flemish accent.

Chicago Tribune Loren King

Likable comedy about ordinary people stumbling badly and then triumphing.

75

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey

A good-natured comedy of errors from Belgium, should elicit smiles, if not belly laughs.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

A delightful comedic twist on Martin Scorsese's "King of Comedy."

Boston Globe Loren King

A likable satire on celebrity, Flemish-style, it is no less pointed than its American counterparts, just a lot less pompous.

Village Voice Mark Holcomb

Too brisk and plucky to dislike.

TV Guide Frank Lovece

Sometimes seems as noisy and unrefined as Jean himself. But it has just as much heart, and builds up to rousingly "Rocky"-like climax.

67

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

It makes for a sweet and heartwarming story even as it celebrates and justifies the entire ridiculous phenomenon that Deruddere has been spoofing all along.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

The more you lower your expectations, the more you'll learn to laugh.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

With its likable blue-collar characters and its unpretentious exuberance, Everybody's Famous is reminiscent of recent British comedies like "Brassed Off" and "The Full Monty."

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

The intentional and unintentional absurdities of the plot do pay off, with a happy ending that's outlandish enough to be entertaining.

40

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

Messy, frantic, and repetitive, Everybody Famous! takes on both vapid pop culture and the mindless hoi polloi that consumes it.

38

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

It's nice, but it's not much of a comedy.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

The one saving grace is a sweet, affecting performance by Werner de Smedt.
