Storyline

Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert review five new movies. There's a major disagreement on Leave It to Beaver, the movie adaptation of the old sitcom. Ebert gives it a marginal thumbs up for its charm, but Siskel finds it utterly charmless. They have a slighter disagreement over Money Talks. Both agree on what's good about the movie (Chris Tucker) and what's bad (Charlie Sheen and the crash-'em-up third act), but the good part was good enough for Ebert to recommend it; Siskel gives it thumbs down. Two thumbs up for Mimic, Guillermo del Toro's exciting creature feature about horrific bugs in the New York subway system. Two thumbs down for Masterminds, a "vacuous" family action picture that the critics could barely remember even a few days after they saw it. Two thumbs up for the lovely Iranian fantasy film, Gabbeh. Finally, Siskel's "Video Pick of the Week" is the hilarious mock-doc, Waiting for Guffman.
