Movies starring John Michael Higgins

Best in Show (2000)

90 mins     Comedy      

On first glance "Best in Show" looks like one of those spoof documentary comedies which I don't get, I just usually find these sorts of movies unfunny. And to be honest I didn't have great hopes when I finally decided to watc...

Monte Walsh (2003)

117 mins     Western      

I have neither read Jack Schaefer's novel on which "Monte Walsh" is based upon or seen the 1970 big screen adaptation and so it's impossible for me to compare, although to be honest comparing a TV movie to a big screen versio...

Blade: Trinity (2004)

113 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

I was one of the few who wasn't overly impressed by "Blade II" as whilst it delivered plenty of in your face action the lack of storyline spoiled it for me. As such I didn't expect a great deal from the third movie "Blade: Tr...

Fun with Dick and Jane (2005)

90 mins     Comedy, Crime      

My theory when it comes to remakes is quite similar to my theory on book adaptations, always watch the movie before you read the book so you are not disappointed by what is different and watch the remake before the original s...

Evan Almighty (2007)

91 mins     Comedy      

"Evan Almighty" is a strange sort of movie, calling it a sequel to "Bruce Almighty" is not exactly true as although it reprises a couple of characters and a similar theme it really has little to do with the first. Secondly, w...

The Ugly Truth (2009)

96 mins     Comedy, Romance      

The ugly truth is that "The Ugly Truth" is just another highly predictable, unimaginative rom-com which uses the same romantic idea of two opposites falling in love that far too many other rom-coms use. It is predictable and ...

Fired Up! (2009)

90 mins     Comedy      

Fired Up! (2009) Nicholas D'Agosto & Eric Christian Olsen star as best friends who head to cheerleader camp because of all of those flexible cheerleaders to get with...

Bad Teacher (2011)

92 mins     Comedy      

In years to come when film schools study why some movies don't work "Bad Teacher" could be one of those on the syllabus. I'm serious because on paper "Bad Teacher" sounds like it should be a success; it has an amusing idea an...
