Movies starring Martin Short

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...

Innerspace (1987)

120 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy, Fantasy, Sci-Fi      

Released back in 1987 "Innerspace" is in some ways director Joe Dante and producer Steven Spielberg's attempt to update the 60's movie genre which saw people going on unconventional journeys such as the "Fantastic Voyage". St...

Three Fugitives (1989)

96 mins     Action , Comedy      

Sometimes I think that those behind movies should take the brave decision and decide not to make a movie but use a killer idea for a one off sketch. It is how I feel about "Three Fugitives" because the opening 20 minutes are ...

Father of the Bride (1991)

105 mins     Comedy, Family      

Like many when I first watched "Father of the Bride" I had no idea it was a remake of a 1950s movie, but it meant I could watch this fun family comedy without comparing it to the original. The story focuses on George Banks, a...

Captain Ron (1992)

90 mins     Adventure , Comedy      

Movie Review - Captain Ron (1992) Kurt Russell stars as Captain Ron, a rough and red sailor who is employed by Martin Harvey (Martin Short) and his wife to sail a yacht they inherited home...

Father of the Bride Part II (1995)

106 mins     Comedy, Family, Romance      

Although I enjoyed the first "Father of the Bride", not the original rather the Steve Martin remake it had its flaws, most notably that it was overly sentimental. Well nothing has really changed for the expected sequel, I say...

Mars Attacks! (1996)

106 mins     Comedy, Sci-Fi      

"Mars Attacks!" is probably one of the best spoof movies ever made with a star cast, a lot of daftness and 50s sci-fi as the basis of most of the parodying. That's how I now feel about Tim Burton's 1996 sci-fi comedy; althoug...

Jungle 2 Jungle (1997)

105 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family      

I could tell you that "Jungle 2 Jungle" was a remake of "An Indian in Paris", I could tell you that it saw Tim Allen reunite with director John Pasquin but to be honest I don't suppose you will be interested because when it c...

Prince Charming (2001)

87 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family, TV Movie      

In total honesty when "Prince Charming" started I quickly became distracted as this appeared to be another one of those less than subtle made for TV movies set in days of yore. It wasn't until out the corner of my eye I notic...

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)

97 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family, Fantasy      

The Santa Clause 3: Tim Allen is back as Santa but not only has he Christmas contend to but also a baby on the way and the nefarious Jack Frost trying to steal his job...

The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)

96 mins     Adventure , Family      

Maybe it's me but when it comes to family movies I like characters which get me on their side, which makes me want to like them right from the word go. Unfortunately with "The Spiderwick Chronicles" you don't get that as we m...

Frankenweenie (2012)

87 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

Frankenweenie - a young boy attempts to bring his dead dog Sparky back from the dead with the aid of electricity and some weird science...

Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return (2013)

88 mins     Adventure , Animation, Family      

Do you know why a movie fan would make a bad studio boss? Because there are times when profit has to come before sentiment and so when faced with an opportunity to make money off of a classic many a movie fan couldn't do it. ...
