"Zoom" Tomatometer: Zero
by Tim Ryan | August 14, 2006
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

"Zoom" is soaring, flying high into the rarified territory where only seven films before it have ventured. The film, which stars Tim Allen and Courteney Cox, is joining an exclusive club -- films with more than 20 reviews that have garnered not a single "Fresh" rating from critics. In other words, we're talking nada, zilch, zero. Back to Article

Wow. While seeing Monster House, I jokilingly commented to my friend about how far Tim Allen's career has fallen. I guess it's fallen even farther than I realized.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever has that many reviews and not a single good one! That is pretty bad.

I feel really bad for Courteney Cox. Barnyard and Zoom? That's really horrible...

Yeah, at least Barnyard did modestly well at the box office. But Zoom. Ouch.

I am proud to say that I found Ballistic enjoyable. The movie was directed by a guy calling himself Kaos. Zoom has a way to go to beat the 98 reviews held by title holder E vs S.

Is anyone really surprised by this? "Zoom" is pale imitation of "Sky-High," Tim Allen is already a has-been, and not one of the kids in the film has the slightest bit of appeal. The only thing this movie has going for it is Courtney Cox (what happened to the 'Arquette,' by the way?) and one has to wonder why her agents thought this was a good project for her. A complete waste of everyone's time.

[b]For those of you who did not like this film....[/b]
It is a fairytale and a bedtime story - if you can not see the beauty in this wonderful original story, I must say, I think your brain is too dense and I think you should stop watching movies.

You are all so hung up on the fact that it did not have a 'twist' but if you really listened deeply you would see that there was a VERY strong message in this film, something M. Night puts in all of his movies. Like I said, you are all too dense to understand it...

This movie was one of my favorites! It had so much emotion it made me go back and see it 2 more times just so I could feel what I felt the first time I saw it.

You must be talking about Lady in the Water, but if you are talking about "Zoom" you should get an award for the best piece of written satire I've read all year!!

[b]It's another Kid's movie that's been done a thousa[/b]
Just glancing at the review and it makes you feel sick to your stomach , Spy Kids , Sky High , X-Men , Fantastic 4 , it copies off all of these films and so much more . I don't even need to see the movie to know it would put a 4 year old to sleep .


0.0 out of 5 - Not Viewing .
