Movies starring Jon Lovitz

Three Amigos (1986)

104 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Western      

As a rule I have one issue with 80s movies, I loved them when I watched them back in the 80s, they were a huge part of my teenage years, yet now when I re-watch an old favourite I am generally disappointed and left with tarni...

Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986)

100 mins     Comedy, Romance, Thriller      

If you ask people to name a Whoopi Goldberg movie I would guess "Jumpin' Jack Flash" would be in the top 5 especially from those who grew up during the 80s. But the irony is that "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is neither that great a m...

Big (1988)

104 mins     Comedy, Family      

I could easily sum up how I feel about "Big" in just a few short words, "Fun for all the family" as it truly is a very enjoyable movie for all age groups. With a great mix of humour for all age groups as well as a reasonable ...

My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988)

105 mins     Comedy, Sci-Fi      

There is nothing essentially wrong with "My Stepmother Is an Alien" but at the same time there is nothing which makes it stand out because it is a very typical fish out of water comedy which trades on two jokes and a lot of p...

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991)

75 mins     Adventure , Animation, Family      

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West - the further adventures of Fievel and the Mousekewitz family as they are duped in to heading west...

A League of Their Own (1992)

123 mins     Comedy, Drama, Sport      

A League of Their Own: Tom Hanks, Geena Davis & Lori Petty star in this movie about women's baseball during WWII...

Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)

84 mins     Comedy      

When "Loaded Weapon 1" was released the sequel was already planned and a poster made but after a poor showing and bad reviews it was never made. That's a shame because "Loaded Weapon 1" is not a bad movie; in fact it is on pa...

City Slickers 2: The Legend of Curly's Gold (1994)

116 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Western      

I have a feeling that the guys behind "City Slickers" must have been feeling seriously sick after their little western comedy about mid life crisis ended up becoming hugely popular especially seeing they killed off the charac...

Little Nicky (2000)

90 mins     Comedy      

I could sum up "Little Nicky" very quickly and in a few short words, it's an Adam Sandler movie you know what to expect. But to be honest that is actually being a little generous because there are some genuinely good Adam San...

Small Time Crooks (2000)

94 mins     Comedy, Crime      

I know I am in the minority but I just don't get the appeal of Woody Allen either as an actor or a director, it isn't that I dislike his stuff but I struggle to see what is so great about it either. This is certainly the case...

3000 Miles To Graceland (2001)

125 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Oh dear, what went wrong? Maybe I was wrong to be expecting "3000 Miles To Graceland" to be a clever heist movie along the lines of "Ocean's Eleven", because I certainly didn't get it. The actual robbery, which is sadly the b...

Rat Race (2001)

112 mins     Comedy      

If I mention the name Jerry Zucker I hope some will recognize it as he was part of the team who gave us such greats as "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun" movies. But whilst Zucker is probably best known for being part of the cre...

The Stepford Wives (2004)

93 mins     Comedy, Sci-Fi      

Lessons learned from my love of movies: 1) movies adapted from books rarely do the written word justice; 2) remakes are not made for those who enjoyed the original movie but are aimed at a new generation of movie goers. What ...

The Producers (2005)

134 mins     Comedy, Musical      

Someone once said to me the reason I wasn't impressed with Mel Brooks' "The Producers" was because it was old with old actors which I laughed at as they obviously didn't know me and my preference for old cinema. Now having fi...

I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007)

97 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

It's quite surprising that "I Could Never Be Your Woman" ended up as a straight to DVD movie rather than getting the theatrical release it deserves. With a pedigree which includes director Amy Heckerling and starring Michelle...

Casino Jack (2010)

108 mins     Biography, Comedy, Crime      

Prior to watching "Casino Jack" I had never heard of Jack Abramoff, yes the guy is real, and I had no idea what a lobbyist did. In truth having watched the movie I don't know much more about what lobbyists do and that doesn't...

Hotel Transylvania (2012)

91 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

"Hotel Transylvania" is a curious movie as are many movies which try to turn horror into kid friendly fun as it is a combo which is a minefield. For the most "Hotel Transylvania" gets it right with plenty of visual gags from ...

Grown Ups 2 (2013)

101 mins     Comedy      

I was quite complimentary about the first "Grown Ups" and I am surprised by how much I still like that movie. Sadly I cannot say the same about the sequel which feels like someone decided to cash in on the popularity of the f...

Coffee Shop (2014)

90 mins     Drama, Romance, TV Movie      

Coffee Shop (2014) Laura Vandervoort stars as Donavan, a coffee shop owner whose business is struggling as much as her lover life, but maybe that is all about to change...
