ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway (2005) 89% B “Theater fans will give it a standing ovation; others may be moved only to polite applause.” – Entertainment Weekly Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Do I Sound Gay? (2014) 82% B+ “The film sheds light on self-imposed homophobia and questions of nature versus nurture without sacrificing its essential sense of humor.” – Entertainment Weekly Jul 7, 2015 Full Review Max (2015) 37% D “The movie is downright laughable when it isn't merely unpleasant.” – Entertainment Weekly Jun 25, 2015 Full Review The Wedding Ringer (2015) 29% D “Unless your idea of the ultimate screen comedy is to witness how many different ways a fat guy can fall down in one film, you're probably better off breaking off this engagement.” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 16, 2015 Full Review Paddington (2014) 96% A- “A gloriously whimsical big-screen debut that's closer to the madcap spirit of the Muppets and the lovingly rendered style of a Wes Anderson film than to standard multiplex family fodder.” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 14, 2015 Full Review Annie (2014) 28% D “Aside from an unintentional homage to Zoolander that is so tone-deaf it'll make you guffaw, Annie goes out of its way to make viewing it a hard-knock life...for us.” – Entertainment Weekly Dec 16, 2014 Full Review A Long Way Down (2014) 22% C “The movie criminally wastes Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike in barely there supporting roles, and the picture has exactly two tones: grim and gooey. They do not coexist harmoniously.” – Entertainment Weekly Dec 2, 2014 Full Review A Merry Friggin' Christmas (2014) 14% D+ “Squanders a cast of actors usually able to elevate weak material.” – Entertainment Weekly Nov 13, 2014 Full Review Dumb and Dumber To (2014) 30% C- “The ultimate sad realization is not that Dumb & Dumber To doesn't match the original's good-time quotient, but that it might not even be as good as-yikes-Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.” – Entertainment Weekly Nov 13, 2014 Full Review The Best of Me (2014) 12% D “For all of the eventfulness it jams into a (poorly edited) two-hour package, The Best Of Me ends up extracting the best of absolutely no one.” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Dolphin Tale 2 (2014) 66% C+ “This is innocuous, heart-in-the-right-place family fare, but its well-earned points about animal rights and preservation would be better taken if the relentless sentimentality didn't force viewers into flippers-in-the-air submission.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 14, 2014 Full Review The November Man (2014) 35% C “The utter lack of originality eventually sinks the movie, and the climax has more howlers than a wolf convention.” – Entertainment Weekly Aug 27, 2014 Full Review A Master Builder (2013) 82% B “It doesn't attain the highs of Shawn and Gregory's My Dinner With Andre, but the movie has a jittery intimacy that is appealing.” – Entertainment Weekly Jul 30, 2014 Full Review Wish I Was Here (2014) 45% C “Braff's wholehearted embrace of weepie clichs - deathbed confessionals pop up as often as the indie tunes - clashes with the movie's more side-eyed and profane observations.” – Entertainment Weekly Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Who Do You Love (2008) 40% 1/4 “Ambles along poorly from one ill-conceived, brutally edited vignette to another.” – Slant Magazine Apr 5, 2010 Full Review Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009) 21% 0/4 “The story is so paper-thin one surmises it was scrawled on soggy toilet paper somewhere” – Slant Magazine Dec 23, 2009 Full Review Spinning Into Butter (2007) 16% 1/4 “Any movie that chooses to open a credits sequence with a Maya Angelou quote and blackface cartoons screams desperation.” – Slant Magazine Mar 23, 2009 Full Review The Edge of Love (2008) 38% 2/4 “The film is on far less ground when it eventually becomes yet another wartime domestic tale, with Maybury's semi-kicky style draining out slowly until mediocrity settles in.” – Slant Magazine Mar 16, 2009 Full Review The Caller (2008) 13% 2/4 “Sadly, The Caller, the second feature from director Richard Ledes, doesn't allow its leading men the luxury of their legacies, instead forcing a wan quasi-thriller in the space where a laidback character study should be.” – Slant Magazine Feb 9, 2009 Full Review Starting Out in the Evening (2007) 89% 1.5/4 “Self-contained and silly.” – Slant Magazine Nov 18, 2007 Full Review Darfur Now (2007) 73% 2/4 “Its 99 minutes could have easily been about 65 if you removed all of the celebrity do-gooder filler.” – Slant Magazine Oct 30, 2007 Full Review Reservation Road (2007) 38% 1.5/4 “Such 온라인카지노추천-movie style set-ups may have worked better in the original novel, but on the silver screen play as an eye-rolling chore.” – Slant Magazine Oct 19, 2007 Full Review Across the Universe (2007) 53% 2/4 “Taymor's signatures are visible throughout, but she is clearly trying hard to gussy up a screenplay that plays more like The Wonder Years without the cultural insight.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2007 Full Review The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) 97% 3.5/4 “The subtitle of the film is actually an unneeded addition since what the film highlights with piercing exactitude are the lengths grown men won't go to in the long run to prove themselves.” – Slant Magazine Aug 3, 2007 Full Review Becoming Jane (2007) 58% 1.5/4 “Not to put too fine a point on it, but this movie throws like a girl.” – Slant Magazine Jul 29, 2007 Full Review
