The Giver (2014) 35% 2.5/4 “The filmmakers definitely get the visuals right across the board. Things go wrong elsewhere, however.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 14, 2014 Full Review And So It Goes (2014) 16% 2.5/4 “By no means is "And So It Goes" a great romance. But seeing two seasoned pros like Douglas and Keaton together on-screen for the first time, even in an otherwise predictable effort, is pretty great.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 24, 2014 Full Review About Last Night (2014) 68% 2/4 “As for Ealy and Bryant, you'd be hard-pressed to find two more attractive people working on the big screen - who still have barely passable chemistry together.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 13, 2014 Full Review The Best Man Holiday (2013) 71% 2.5/4 “While it's still no "Big Chill," the sequel will mostly satisfy fans of the original "Best Man," especially since it brings back the entire cast of the first movie.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 14, 2013 Full Review 2 Guns (2013) 64% 2.5/4 “While the story is a bit convoluted, the easy rapport between Washington and Wahlberg makes this well-shot comedy-thriller far more engaging than it has any right to be.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 1, 2013 Full Review Fast & Furious 6 (2013) 71% 3/4 “While most film franchises sink as the number of their entries rises, "Fast and the Furious" keeps cruising along with no finish line in sight.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 23, 2013 Full Review The Call (2013) 45% 2/4 “Even though it stars Oscar-winner Halle Berry, there's not much in "The Call" to set it apart from the women-in-peril movies that fill cable 온라인카지노추천, thanks in large part to an unbelievably wrongheaded ending.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Safe Haven (2013) 13% 2/4 “Plays like a sanitized remake of "Sleeping with the Enemy," right down to an over-the-top climax set during a fireworks display.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Parental Guidance (2012) 19% 2/4 “Despite a talented cast, the film's promising premise - old-school parenting vs. new-school kids - is mishandled.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Dec 25, 2012 Full Review Step Up Revolution (2012) 40% 3/4 “[It] has a threadbare plot and marginal acting from its stars. But unlike the third movie, all the razzmatazz makes up for it this time.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 26, 2012 Full Review That's My Boy (2012) 21% 1.5/4 “Sandler fans likely will eat this nonsense up like ice cream. Non-fans could do worse - a lot worse. Like "Jack and Jill."” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 14, 2012 Full Review The Five-Year Engagement (2012) 64% 3/4 “Both funny and romantic, "The Five-Year Engagement" runs a good 20 minutes longer than it should, but the winning on-screen chemistry between Segel and Blunt makes that a little easier to take.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 26, 2012 Full Review Think Like a Man (2012) 54% 2.5/4 “"Think Like a Man" is a rare thing: a studio-backed romantic comedy with a who's who of young, attractive, talented African-American actors who aren't relegated to thankless secondary roles.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 19, 2012 Full Review This Means War (2012) 25% 1.5/4 “With "This Means War," Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon pulls off the seemingly impossible: She's made a film that's even worse than "Legally Blonde 2."” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 16, 2012 Full Review Joyful Noise (2012) 32% 2.5/4 “Featuring a mix of musical genres, "Joyful Noise" works best as a musical showcase for the formidable talents of Latifah and Parton. Without them, the film's lack of down-home soul would be even more glaring.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 12, 2012 Full Review Johnny English Reborn (2011) 39% 2.5/4 “That the film ultimately doesn't quite gel is no fault of Atkinson's. He gives it his all in an agreeably engaging performance.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 20, 2011 Full Review The Change-Up (2011) 26% 2.5/4 “As outrageous as the proceedings get, "The Change-Up" is just too predictable. Even if you aren't old enough to remember those old body-swapping movies, you'll feel like you've seen this before.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 4, 2011 Full Review Friends With Benefits (2011) 69% 3/4 “Timberlake and Kunis manage to bring sexy and funny back to the otherwise exhausted rom-com genre.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 21, 2011 Full Review The Beaver (2011) 63% 2.5/4 “Gibson knows a thing or two about lost, troubled souls, and watching him navigate around the edge of the abyss is fascinating.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 19, 2011 Full Review Jumping the Broom (2011) 57% 2.5/4 “As great as it is to see both Bassett and Devine headlining a film, they are saddled with stereotypical characters - the uptown snob vs. the downtown sistah - that neither seems completely at home inhabiting.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 5, 2011 Full Review Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil (2011) 11% 1.5/4 “A pale copy is still a pale copy, even when it's in 3-D. That's the moral of the animated sequel "Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil."” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 28, 2011 Full Review Born to Be Wild (2011) 98% 3/4 “What it lacks in length, the 45-minute movie makes up in entertainment value.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 10, 2011 Full Review Your Highness (2011) 27% 1.5/4 “"Your Highness," a largely improvised oddity, is as tired and clunky a movie spoof as you'll likely see this or any other year.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 7, 2011 Full Review Hall Pass (2011) 33% 2/4 “Surprisingly, considering it's made by the Farrellys, "Hall Pass" fails to take full advantage of its premise.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 24, 2011 Full Review No Strings Attached (2011) 47% 2/4 “Director Ivan Reitman and the cast do what they can with the material, but it's hard to tell what "No Strings Attached" is trying to be.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 20, 2011 Full Review
