A movie with anti-establishment anti-social quicksilver coursing through its veins, but at its heart it is a sweet love story, one of the sweetest in recent memory.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 27, 2022

“Dinner in America” delivers on surprise and explosiveness, but much of its offensive language, both racist and homophobic, feels gratuitous in a film that might have otherwise landed as an offbeat love story.

There’s much to enjoy here.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 24, 2022

Despite the careful 1990s period details, this is a bruising and welcome riposte to John Hughes' 1980s teen movies.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 11, 2021

A spirited, odd-ball comedy...I'll have this in hard rotation, and what a great double-bill this would make with Howard the Duck...

This sweet romcom is buoyed up by the chemistry between its leads.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 31, 2021

Adam Rehmeier's indie dramedy [has] two very good lead performers whose unexpected chemistry gradually makes this film likable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2021

Funny, angry, unusual. That'll do.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2021

The engine idles while the two protagonists are maneuvered into place for their meet cute, but once that happens and the leads' chemistry supercharges the motor, it really lets rip.

Some of the humor falls flat, especially in the clunky first act, but it works once its two leads team up and become a stronger force together than apart.

| Jan 28, 2020

This rambunctious mix of anarchic humor and misfit romance is not always inspired in the writing department, but its uneven qualities are mostly steamrolled over by the infectiously high-energy execution.
