Bewertung von striker-8
Being a movie and a football lover at the same time, "Looking for Eric" combines two of my passions. And being a football commentator, I have to be a step ahead of those who admires Frenchman's ability on the pitch... I have read most of his interviews and watch many DVD's about him because it is my job. So I can say that the Cantona, Eric dreams at "Looking for Eric" is the real thing.
His advices might seem simple but they are affective and the lines are carefully chosen. Just like his interviews... If you don't believe me, you can check it out on November 2008 issue of Four Four Two (171) where he talks about women when his opinion about his chair-mans and his managers is asked...
But although he is the main attraction on the posters and the name suggests it's a movie about the player, the Eric we are (and Loach are) looking for is the one that Steve Evets is playing.
It is a good movie, while concentrating on a man and his issues with his family and at work, it still digs in deep football matters like the raise of the ticket prices and how football is being taken away from it's real owners, which are supporters.
It is funny at parts, touching in others, and fine when you think it all over. It is a movie that suggests there is always hope and who knows, may be some advices of the flamboyant Frenchman might be useful for you too.

There are many "stupid", or the way I call them "absurd", masterpieces.
Marx Brothers had their own formula 70 - 80 years ago and repeated it perfectly in their handful of movies. A bunch of young British geniuses had their shot and they were outstanding. From "Meaning of Life" to "Holly Grail", Monthy Python brought us some of the finest examples of "absurd" comedy. Later the famous Z.A.Z. team produced likes of "Top Secret" and "Airplane". Not everything they did was as successful as these, but they set a fine standard.
To call "Anchorman" a great stupid movie is quite an insult to those guys, and many others I couldn't name here.
Will Ferrell is not my favorite actor, but after seeing him in a Woody Allen project (Melinda, Melinda) and watching extraordinary "Stranger Than Fiction", I was convinced he had more talent than he showed on "A Night at the Roxberry". So I decided to give a shot to "Anchorman", which also contains pretty Christina Applegate.
But the result was disappointment. Every character is a cartoon like most absurd comedies, but the jokes are not raining like they supposed to be. This brings out the flaws of cartoons on the screen. In the good examples of the genre, like those I mentioned above, you probably miss some jokes, while you are laughing on others. In this you won't risk of missing anything because they are well apart from each other.
If you think lines like "Sixty percent of the time, it works every time." are funny, this movie may do the trick for you. You'll laugh anyway, I admit I laughed, but not enough to make this experience worthy.
"Anchorman" has one of the most overrated notes in IMDb, I'm afraid.

"Moonlighting" was where we first saw and love Bruce Willis. The portrait of an annoying but also charming detective, David Addison, who takes life on the light side but his love more serious than he would like to show, gained our sympathy. I remember him saying "this story is as weak as a toilet paper" in one of the episodes. I really don't know the original script but at least it was translated like that to Turkish. When I saw old David Addison as Harrison Hill in "Perfect Stranger", I recalled that line.
The movie has got the beauty of Halle Berry and the name of Mr. Willis on board and I assume they thought that would be enough. The story is shallow, many misleading clues make you suspect every character you meet, but in the end this bore one rather than raise his interest. You have to bypass your logic in order to watch it without calling some occasions and reactions by the characters rubbish.
"Perfect Stranger" also has a problem with genre... It seems to be a thriller - suspense movie but in times it was shot as if it were a horror movie. Halle Berry is way far from her Oscar winning performance. Bruce Willis who acted in many good movies, but also has a habit of not disappointing his fans even with his average flicks delivers a wooden performance as Mr. Hill. So you wonder in the end why did he opted to play in this movie, although he has an ability to recognize a weak scenario from his "Moonlighting" days...
