90One of the most subtle and inspired comedies you'll see this year.
-
90A grave screwball comedy. Its gags aren't just hilarious -- they have a weighty, plaintive soul.
-
70A smooth little comedy deserving of more studio support than it got.
-
65Thanks to the first-time filmmaker's attention to character, Gun Shy is worth at least a shot at a matinee.
-
63The bathroom jokes in Gun Shy wear thin.
-
58A mildly amusing but forgettable and way-too-scatological black farce.
-
50The story isn't nearly as funny or suspenseful as it would like to be, although the solid cast gives it occasional dashes of pizazz.
-
50Blakeney can't decide if this is a quirky romantic comedy or a quirky mob essay, and you can see the movie thinking itself into a rhythmless hole with cement shoes.
-
50A textbook case in which the parts are greater than the whole.
-
40The big trouble here is that there seem to be pieces of three different films rubbing up against each other without ever fitting together.
-
40Neeson might as well have phoned this one in.
-
What use is journeyman acting, quality set design and a kicky, eclectic score in a movie that's so ineptly scripted?
-
38Can't stars attract better scripts than this?
-
30Gun Shy can't rise on wobbly legs, and its real potential is lost for good.
-
25Blakeney's script contains more hackneyed dialogue and misfired jokes per minute than would seem possible, and the result embarrasses every actor in it.
-
25This low-caliber Gun Shy has singularly ugly cinematography by Tom Richmond that at one point shows off Bullock's facial hair.
-
25It's implausible, cartoonishly overdrawn.
-
20It's the casting of Liam Neeson as the nervous breakdown that turns the movie to asphalt -- it's like watching Andre the Giant play Woody Allen.
-
We're just over a month into 2000 and already there's a candidate for the year's worst picture.
-
0A half hour in and still, the plot, tone, and setting are incomprehensible.
