Something About Mary was a MAJOR pop culture event, not a mini one. 

 

1993 was SUCH a strong year: 

 

Jurassic Park 
Schindler's List 

The Piano 

Groundhog Day 
The Age of Innocence 

The Joy Luck Club 

The Fugitive 

The Nightmare Before Christmas 

Sleepless In Seattle 

Mrs. Doubtfire 

Kalifornia 

Falling Down 

True Romance 

Dazed & Confused 

The Addams Family Values (better than the original!) 

Carlitos Way 

Remains of the Day 

 

Jesus Christ!

It commits the biggest sin any movie like this could commit: it's boring as hell. I didn't think there could be a more unappetizing would-be tentpole this year than Batman v Superman but whoo boy did this prove me wrong. Bravo!

Casper and Jumanji are good.

It really was horrible. I can't remember a film that I've walked out of where 99% of the audience was talking about how terrible it is.

Disagree with Hook, Jumanji, The Santa Clause, and the first TMNT.

Jumanji is the best of that bunch and I did like it as a kid. Casper is pretty bad though. 

[La Binoche]

Homeward Bound was good! Also 1993, btw.

Now I totally get why I love animation so much, since my Mom had a very strict no PG-13 rule for me as a kid. So animation was the only place in the 90's I could really look towards for much quality apparently.

Casper is an entertaining movie with an absolutely beautiful score

filmlover, I asked a couple of posters in the ID-R thread about this, but were the young actors as uninteresting some of the reviewers made them out to be?

Kinda. You watch this movie for the action and vfx, not the actors.

Thanks. Makes sense, but it always helps to have people to care about.

Animated films were definitely the highlights of the 90s as a kid, but there were quite a few "adult" dramas and romantic comedies that got low ratings and my parents let me watch those pretty early. I recall some of my first big introductions to film being Joe Versus the Volcano and Groundhog Day

The whole movie was an uninteresting mess. And then the young actors added nothing to it so it just adds to the atrociousness of the film. I'd recommend it to no one. I should have watched Free State of Jones or The Shallows again.
