Perdido & encontrado

The idea of David Spade being cast in a romantic comedy opposite french beauty Sophie Marceau is a real head-scratcher. But the movie sort of works. Spade plays Dylan, a restaurant owner who's hot for his new neighbor Lila Dubois (Sophie Marceau). Just by looking at the poster of this movie, it's pretty clear that Lila is totally out of Dylan's league. Dylan realizes this when Lila's rich ex-boyfriend, Rene (Patrick Bruel), shows up. So, to impress Lila and make her forget about her ex, he kidnaps her dog and plans to become a hero by returning it to her later.

Despite the lack of any real chemistry between Spade and Morceau and the rather silly plot,'Lost & Found' can be entertaining. You just have to suspend belief and not really think while watching. But still I'd take 'Lost & Found' over any other flops by other former SNL clowns, did anyone say 'Corky Romano'.

Rating: (6/10)

I love laughing when watching films, and this film undoubtedly didn't fail to make me laugh. David Spade is a sellout; he's perfect for the part (he's not very handsome, but his humor makes him adorable), he plays Dylan with ease, and he works with his co-stars with excellent rapport. I say this is one of the film comedies you don't want to miss!

Who would have thought that SNL alumni David Spad could prove worthy of a romantic lead? Well, he pulls off the romantic underdog so well that I couldn't help fall in love with him. Spade plays a resteraunt owner who falls for his next door neighbor. Some of the best scenes in the film are between Spade and his single white female like friend played by Arte Lange. Also, keep an eye out for some tv veterans like Marla Gibs(The Jeffersons), Rose Marie(Dick Van Dyke Show) and Estelle Harris(Seinfeild). Martin Sheen also makes a cameo in what is perhaps the memorable scene in the film. The scene, in which Spade gives an enjoyable rendition of Neil Diamonds "Brother Loves Show", will go down in my film history as "Best use of a Neil Diamond song in the film", next to the men in "Beautiful Girls" when they sing "Sweet Caroline", but I digress. I love this film. "Lost & Found" is great for anyone who has ever felt like the romantic underdog. Don't miss this one.

I'm a comedy-lover... I truly believe there ain't anything better than getting breathless while spending 1 hour and a half in front of a TV...

I do like strong and dramatic movies, but comedy is my real passion...

The bad thing about comedies, though, is that the more you watch them, the harder it gets to laugh at the next ones.

I've watched this movie twice, maybe, and now I'm watching it for the third time... I'm laughing at jokes I've already seen, and I'm not particularly dumb today, at least I think so...

I'm not a Spade fan either, but sometimes he just makes it.

Plus, I really hate some romantic comedies, with pauses on jokes for girlie scenes (sorry girls for the sexism...) Spade and Marceau have managed to turn even these scenes into funny tirades...

I recommend. Not the best comedy ever, but I give it a 7.

It made me recover from my disgust with romantic Hollywood comedies after that Aniston-Vaughn flick which I wanted so much to watch, just to get disappointed later.

I thought this movie was pretty funny and one of David Spade's finer moments in his career. I'm not a huge fan of his(I'm more of a Sandler type guy). But he does some good stuff.

Dylan has just fallen in love with his new neighbor, Lila. He can't seem to get her attention though. So he "dognaps" her dog and plans to give it back and be a hero. But the dog ate his best friend's wedding present so he has to get it back and hijinks ensue as he must deal with the dog, his restaurant and Lila's ex-boyfriend.

This movie had several good things about it. Artie Lange had the funniest scenes. People may call him a Farley-wannabe, but I think he's just as funny as him, if not funnier. Jon Lovitz also has a funny cameo.

Good stuff. 8/10
