A spectacle to behold with an underlying arc that makes it more satisfying than a 2 1/2-hour bite of eye candy.

Feels like a failed attempt to infuse the Coen Brothers’ wry aesthetic into a B-movie tableau.

With its offbeat blend of warped humor, dramatic/horror elements, and social commentary, "Dream Scenario" may not always be comfortable but it is undeniably provocative.

It is not a bad way to spend a couple of hours, keeping in mind that this fairy tale, like most, has only a tenuous link to reality.

A far cry from the fantastic majesty of the Tolkien-based epics but has the feel of something that could spawn an enduring franchise if it catches on.

Director Olivia Wilde’s sophomore effort becomes the first high-profile dud of the 2022 autumn season.

For fans, this represents a second opportunity to revisit old friends on the big screen and see what the passage of another year has in store.

The movie feels like it was assembled from an unready draft even though visually, there’s no denying the film’s strengths.

Whodunnits? are generally an awkward fit for the two-hour limitations of a theatrical movie but this is one of the better ones.

U.S. Release Date: 1991-03-22
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Fantasy/Comedy
