“The smell of flop-sweat permeates the movie like real sweat in a locker room. It's too bad to be offensive, too inert to be annoying.” –

“The cast is good enough -- if not to pull it off, at least to make it go down painlessly. Charlyne Yi supplies fun as half-phobic, half-kinky office drone.” –

“It's campy and miles over the top, but fun in its loopy wouldn't-it-be-cool-to-breathe-under-water way.” –

“Sure to charm all but the most churlish cynic, it is, like Mary Poppins herself, practically perfect in every way.” –

Welcome to Marwen (2018)

“It's technically brilliant and very well-acted -- especially by Leslie Mann as Hogancamp's new neighbor and latest crush -- but it never quite attains the emotional punch it's aiming for.” –

The Mule (2018)

3/5
“As we might expect from an 88-year-old superstar filmmaker with nothing left to prove, the movie has an elegiac, farewell quality to it, and Eastwood moves gingerly through it with an air of leathery frailty.” –

“Take a true story, add a super-smart script, brilliant turns by the two stars, and matching support from Linda Cardellini as Mortensen's wife, and you get a bullseye crowd-pleaser.” –

“[Rowling's] script here is the worst thing she's ever written -- incomprehensible if you haven't seen Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, saddling the actors with endless pages of indigestible exposition, an inert, lifeless set-up for the next movie.” –

“It's all too clever by half -- or rather, by about 20 minutes; its feathery charms are hard put to support nearly two hours' running time.” –

“Alvarez doesn't let us linger to make sense of it all; he keeps the action set-pieces coming, and if we're never fully engaged, at least we're never bored.” –

“Everett the writer sometimes overplays things, while Everett the director lurches from one martyrdom to the next in a sort of pity-party promenade. But Everett the actor, in a role he was born to play, never makes a false move.” –

“Either desperate rewrites by Tom McCarthy and reshoots with director Joe Johnston taking over from Lasse Hallström didn't help -- or the movie must have been really awful before. Now it's a grab bag of remnants from far better books and movies,” –

“Writer-director Tyler Perry throws all kinds of ideas at us, but he never manages to get over the basic problem at the center of his script: Sumpter's character is shallow and unlikeable, while Haddish's... wears out her welcome in record time.” –
