If it's hard to like the message and the characters in this movie, it's even harder to like the acting, though the casting is strong." Posted Aug 6, 2004 |

Disguises itself as a romance, but it's really a loving homage to Japanese history, as well as a comment on the nature of filmmaking and films." Posted Sep 12, 2003 |

This film is not the worst Spade has ever made. Remember Joe Dirt? Unfortunately, Dickie Roberts is just another forgettable film in his desperately-seeking -a-feature -film-career oeuvre." Posted Sep 5, 2003 |

One minute, the film is funny. The next it's romantic. For a few seconds, it's suspenseful. Other times, it's philosophical. But mostly, it's just confusing." Posted Aug 8, 2003 |
