38Two agonizing hours of lifeless, mind-numbing hogwash.
-
30There's little to recommend this movie, which is part and parcel with Marshall's schlock-dominated body of work.
-
30The Other Sister is sanctimonious, sanitized fare primarily preoccupied with patting its own back and plucking our heartstrings.
-
25Shameless in its use of mental retardation as a gimmick, a prop and a plot device. Anyone with any knowledge of retardation is likely to find the film offensive.
-
Still, there's no mistaking the central message: Slow people have much to teach us. Or is it: Slow people -- aren't they funny? Either way, it's pretty vile stuff.
-
20I'm going to beat my head into a wall until I relieve myself of the memory of this film that was, well, retarded.
-
20Plunging headfirst into mush at every opportunity, Marshall brings out the worst in his actors.
-
20By coddling viewers and micromanaging our responses, The Other Sister shows almost as little respect for the audience as Elizabeth does for her feisty, underappreciated daughter.
-
It's not the emphasis on tics and grimaces that mars their essentially well-meaning performances, it’s the sitcom crassness of director and co-writer Garry Marshall.

0Contrived, clueless, reprehensible.
