John Goodman is a funny guy, but his talent got wasted in Matinee.
If it wasn't for the annoying child stars, Matinee might have worked. If I want to see a film about the Cuban
Missile Crisis, I'll watch Thirteen Days. If I want to see a film about a movie within a movie, I'll
watch Last Action Hero. If I want to see a film about teenage romance, I'll watch
Mischief. And believe me, none of them involved annoying children.
The best part is the theatre special effects. Then again, I actually thought of this movie after the
Batman shooting incident in Aurora, Colorado. Go figure.
All in all, if Cathy Moriarty looks more bored than she was with Jake LaMotta, the movie is a no-go.
