...the sort of vitriolic exercise in paranoia that would ordinarily land its creator in therapy.

Unrelentingly anti-Semitic, excessively grotesque and overly narrow in its scope

Intolerable Cruelty

...an uproariously quirky story about romance in the very unromantic field of matrimonial law.

The School of Rock
(2003)

Mac Verstandig
|
Jack Black... deftly guides the family film away from the genre's usual mawkishness and into a sort of Bad-Company-meets-Peter-Pan Rock 'n' Roll Never Never Land.

...other than a few shining moments, 'Duplex' relies entirely upon juvenile sight gags to generate jokes that really aren't all that amusing.

Anything Else

Allen creates one of his finer films, with a delicately intricate plot, phenomenal acting and delightfully cynical humor.

The Real Cancun
(2003)
|
Mac Verstandig
|
More closely resembling a "Girls Gone Wild" video than a work of traditional cinema, "The Real Cancun" delivers a unique brand of glossy sex appeal, thanks to a fairly developed array of variously sordid characters.

Bulletproof Monk
(2003)
|
Mac Verstandig
|
Bulletproof Monk has a snide confidence that its petty jokes of culture shock will actually elicit laughs while altogether failing to realize that the punch lines weren't that funny the first time, let alone this time.

Anger Management

[Nicholson and Sandler] put forth fine efforts in this entirely performance-driven film, but save for a few memorable scenes, the oil and vinegar simply don't mix.

Phone Booth

A riveting tale of morality in a city noted for its sinful characters, "Phone Booth" is that rare edge-of-your-seat movie that is as cerebral as it is thrilling.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
(2003)
|
Mac Verstandig
|
It is exceedingly difficult to classify How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days as a romantic comedy given that the film is about as romantic as a punch to the face -- literally.
