Brody is the epitome of the trustworthy, funny, approachable, but magnetic nice guy that you would marry in a second if he really existed. It was like Tom Hanks and John Cusack had a love child.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 25, 2008

As soon as it's over, you start forgetting about it. It's not a bad movie, it's just fine.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 3, 2008

Touching-but-treacly chick flick for moms & teens.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2007

Jonathan Kasdan infects them with a smart-ass self-awareness and a grandiose sense of vitality that borders on preciousness. It has that Baby Boomer quality of his father's films without any of the history to back it up.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2007

Kasdan's gift for the smart crack is consistently undercut by a well-developed taste for schmalz.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 28, 2007

I distrust any film in which people stand and argue and/or kiss in pelting rain

Writer-director Jonathan Kasdan - he of the much-loved, short-lived Freaks and Geeks -- is no stranger to quirky characters. But why is it then that the characters in Land -- especially the high schoolers -- ring so false?

Here's a Cameron Crowe film that, oddly enough, wasn't directed by Cameron Crowe.

Ah, poor poor Carter. Will he emerge strengthened or diminished by his encounters in this faraway land?

The script is problematic. Much of it feels half-formed; there are some potentially interesting ideas but they are not really developed well. The audience is supposed to take certain things on face value -- and there are many missed opportunities, particu

| Original Score: C | May 7, 2007

Unintentionally makes a case for believing that the young have nothing of interest to say to their seniors, and very little of interest to say to each other.

Despite Adam's glorious performance, the show stealer was Olympia Dukakiswho was hilarious in every scene. From claiming she was dying every second to answering the front door with no pants. She stole the show for me.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 30, 2007

It hits all the emotional cues right on schedule, pushing an audience's buttons with dull factory precision.

| Original Score: C | Apr 30, 2007

Engaging if underwhelming.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 29, 2007

Shows very little respect for women and makes a youthful male soft-core porn writer into a supposed seer dispensing wisdom.

The acting is good, which really is no reason alone to spend good money on seeing this throwaway picture in the theater.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 28, 2007

I can't recall the last [film] that filled me with the kind of utter loathing and contempt that this one did.
