I agree with the original poster. Most of this guy's movies suck. He does the same type of movie all the time too.

I don't hate the guy, and the word "horrible" might be a little strong, but if you look at this guy's work, on TV and in the movies, his batting average isn't high.
Granted, there are exceptions. I like the TV version of 'The Odd Couple,' a lot. A few of his movies are okay. But for the most part, Garry Marshall's brand of humor is bland, unimaginative, and predictable. 'Happy Days' at its best is adequate. At its worst (after Ron Howard left), it's horrendous.
He's shooting for mediocrity, and for the most part, hitting the target. -

LOVE Marshall's stuff. His BEST films are Raising Helen and The Princess Diaries. Raising Helen is a beautiful, very sweet, yet very human stories. The Princess Diaries is just classic Princess Diaries II was not.

To each his own, but I like some of his movies, like The Flamingo Kid and Overboard. Hes not the most innovative director, but hes very good at more old fashioned kind of films. And, yes, hes good at family oriented films. For myself, I love some of his TV work, especially the Odd Couple, the early episodes of Happy Days and some of his Dick Van Dyke episodes. I guess hes just not to your tastes.

Pretty Woman
is among the worst pieces of "romantic" garbage of the '90's. The rest: mostly, even worse!
Beaches
is the worst remake of a good French film ever.
