The Five-Year-Engagement
“A shaggy film that fits in the Apatow/Segal/Stoller brand yet feels like a broad romantic comedy.”
Footnote
“A smartly-written dark dramedy that brims with real human emotion and subtle humor.”
The Lucky One
“Some poor editing proves to be a distraction and the beginning of the film feels too rushed.”
Chimpanzee
“As it always does in Disneynature films, truly stunning photography steals the show.”
Bully
“Hirsch approaches the film with more of a ‘Just Say No’ message than with a sense of urgency.”
American Reunion
“It’s the scene-stealing Seann William Scott who commands the screen for better or worse.”
Wrath of the Titans
“Even with a sparse script, the film manages to improve on its predecessor.”
The Hunger Games
“A perfectly cast Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role makes up for a lot of the film’s problem areas.”
21 Jump Street
“Filmmakers toss all logic aside, don’t overdo the nostalgia, and simply have fun with it.”
John Carter
“Thankfully, the spectacle ends up muscling away the pulpier elements of the story.”
The Lorax
“Filmmakers gleefully chopped down one of Dr. Seuss’ literary trees in order to summon this Lorax.”
Act of Valor
“Doesn’t honor any heroes…A story faxed straight from Chuck Norris’s 1980s production office.”
