63Comes across as a lame wannabe - a romantic comedy that lacks the level of outrageousness necessary to elevate it about the countless trite entries into the bloated genre.
-
50The distractions are more satisfying than the romantic main course. [23 April 1999, Life, p.8E]
-
50A mundane sitcom with feature pretensions, the kind where the comic "situation" is simply a coat-rack for hanging a rag-tag assortment of inflated sight gags and telegraphed punch lines.
-
40Marceau's effervescence and graceful stature fill the screen wonderfully, even if its a stretch to see her go lip-to-lip with Spade.
-
Long on smarm and short on charm.
-
30An inoffensive, eminently forgettable bit of fluff.
-
30In the little war between charm and belligerence that is the real centerpiece of Lost and Found, romantic comedy takes a beating.
-
Spade is no actor. He's a quipper. And his acerbic asides aren't anywhere near funny enough to carry a movie.
-
25In asking us to believe David Spade as a romantic lead, it miscalculates beyond all reason.
-
25Such a low-class, low-laughs rip-off that it makes "There's Something About Mary" resemble a Noel Coward comedy of manners. [23 April 1999, Friday, p.A]
-
25A lovestruck Californian kidnaps a neighbor's dog as a way of getting her attention.
-
25Why was the sight of scrawny Woody Allen kissing pretty Diane Keaton never revolting, while scrawny David Spade kissing beautiful Sophie Marceau in Lost & Found is the creepiest cinematic sight of the year?
-
25An hour into the picture, Spade offers a pretty funny imitation of belter Neil Diamond, but it's a long 60 minutes for such a pitiful payoff.
-
20Even Spade's most dedicated fans would probably be better off staying home and watching a "Just Shoot Me" rerun.
-
20A rancid little nothing of a movie that baldly recycles plot elements of "There's Something About Mary."
-
20Tumbles off the sick-but-sweet balance beam.
-
20Schmaltzy comedy.
-
16Funny for 15 minutes and then fades into mean-spirited cruelty and stupidity.
-
10Spade proves that he's entirely capable of making unwatchable dreck all by himself.
-
All of this points to the two major differences between "Mary" and "Lost": Ben Stiller's character in "Mary" was likable (if pathetic), and "Mary" was sporadically funny.
-
Cloying, obnoxious, unfunny, evil, shallow, schadenfreude-wielding, dumb-fuck-fratboy-wants-a-blowjob, sitcom-directed piece of elbow-in-the-rib-till-you-puke-blood, just-connect-the-dots-and-we’ll-all-make-a-lot-of-money-and-nobody-gets-hurt...

This movie was lousy and wasn't made well.
