->''Creator/OwenWilson has been edging up on us. Most moviegoers don't know who he is. If you see everything, you'll remember him from ''Film/BottleRocket'' where he was engaging, and ''Minus Man'', where he was profoundly disturbing. This movie will make him a star. He is too smart and versatile to be packaged within a narrow range (his career also includes writing credits on ''Bottle Rocket'' and ''Film/{{Rushmore}}''), but if he could only do what he does in ''Shanghai Noon'', he could support himself with Adam Sandler roles.''
