Who's Harry Crumb?
Film The question on most people's lips before this lacklustre comedy is over will be, "Who cares?" The late John Candy was quite funny when he allowed a director to control his unrestrained manic mugging. Unfortunately, here Paul Flaherty (a former Candy TV associate) just lets him get away with farcical murder as a bungling private detective assigned to solve a kidnapping case. (The joke level? The kidnapper is the person who hired him. Ha, ha!) There are a few moments that raise a smile and Annie Potts is a joy as the gold-digging newlywed. But it's heavy going with very little wit and a great deal of slapstick.

Spider-Man
Film Thanks in part to legal battles, Marvel Comics' much-loved superhero has taken his time to reach the big screen. This fantasy action adventure was initially intended as a James Cameron vehicle, but the project finally went to Darkman director - and self-confessed Spider-Man fan - Sam Raimi. His vision sticks close to the character's comic-book roots with the creation of a colourful, visually striking frolic that's bubbling with energy and gleefully tongue-in-cheek, yet edged with pathos. Lead actor Tobey Maguire is unusual but inspired casting, exuding boy-next-door charm as the clandestine teen avenger (Kirsten Dunst is good, too, as love interest Mary Jane Watson). Indeed, it's Maguire's intense likeability that helps paper over potential weaknesses such as the odd disappointing set piece. As for the all-important villain, Willem Dafoe not only looks the part as the Green Goblin - equalling Jack Nicholson's Joker - he brings some welcome gravitas to an already credible venture. Spider-Man is an effortless, intelligent entertainment, and a fabulous, fun-filled start to the hugely lucrative franchise.
