Critic Reviews

  • Jennie Punter, Toronto Star

    The ideas are not pushed nearly as far or with as much success as they are in, for example, King Of Comedy, The Icicle Thief (the 1989 Italian comedy) or even Ed TV, for that matter.

  • Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle

    Often loses focus and wanders, unsure of where it wants to go.

  • Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    A funny idea in search of a funny execution.

  • Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

    Who in the world is in charge of foreign film Oscar nominations? And what hints of greatness did they see in this artlessly benign little comedy?

  • Susan Stark, Detroit News

    An entertaining enough oddity, goosed by the added interest of its report on the high level of acting talent from Belgium.

    Everybody's Famous is an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film with plot on fame and stardom bordering ridiculous and stupid, but still sweet, likable, and funny.

  • Curt C


    The ending will have you cheering for the characters, and was pretty moving and honest for a comedy; but honestly, this took a lot of time to start going anywhere, and there are a lot of cookie cutter roles.
