	"The Love Guru is so relentlessly juvenile as to merit a new twist on the PG-13 rating -- one that strongly cautions not only those under 13 but anyone much above it, too." Posted Jun 17, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%

	"Those unfamiliar with Sandler's antics may...begin to find him annoying sometime between the appearance of the Universal logo and the end of the opening credits." Posted Jun 1, 2008	Billy Madison (1995)	41%
	"Smart, star-studded and anchored by another fine-tuned performance from Kevin Spacey." Posted May 27, 2008	Recount (2008)	75%
	"Though Martin and a solid supporting cast produce a few scattered moments of near-hilarity, for the most part the terrain here is as flat as it gets." Posted May 19, 2008	Sgt. Bilko (1996)	32%
	"*For a series so steeped in romance, the eagerly awaited Sex and the City* movie feels a trifle half-hearted.*" Posted May 15, 2008*	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
	"At least we know now why this latest big-screen version of a vintage TV series was parked on the shelf more than two years." Posted May 13, 2008	Car 54, Where Are You? (1993)	0%
	"A sprightly little entertainment that should enthrall tots without straining the patience of their parents." Posted May 12, 2008	Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993)	86%
	"Stupid is apparently in." Posted May 6, 2008	Tommy Boy (1995)	46%
	"A thin thriller, burdened by clunky dialogue and prone to telegraphing its twists." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deception (2008)	11%
	"*There are about three minutes of funny material in Happy Gilmore, and pretty much all of them are in the trailer." Posted Apr 15, 2008*	Happy Gilmore (1996)	57%
	"A fine cast and the movie's general energy can't overcome that mix of cliches and technical flaws." Posted Mar 25, 2008	' Above the Rim (1994)	59%
	"Working a bit too hard to send the crowd into a frenzy, the action in this basketball-oriented yarn isn't exactly fantastic, but it is mildly entertaining." Posted Mar 24, 2008	The Air Up There (1993)	24%
	"Short on laughs but tinged with a pleasant European flavor." Posted Mar 18, 2008	Mr. Wonderful (1993)	59%
	"Slick but extremely slim." Posted Feb 13, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
	"Fool's Gold offers small compensation -- a listless romantic comedy that, almost out of desperation, turns a little more violent than necessary near the end." Posted Feb 5, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
	"*A huge, bloody and sprawling epic, Braveheart* is the sort of massive vanity piece that would be easy to disparage if it didn't essentially deliver.*" Posted Jan 28, 2008*	Braveheart (1995)	76%
	"Stallone (who looks fit but mostly keeps his shirt on) has no intention of bogging the action down, but it's still a notably cheerless exercise, without knowing winks or stabs (pardon the expression) at humor." Posted Jan 24, 2008	Rambo (2008)	35%
	"A near-claustrophobic comedy that manages to be both predictable and preachy." Posted Jan 7, 2008	First Sunday (2008)	14%
	"...Not all the bits (among them a "Yellow Submarine"-like acid trip) work equally well. Fortunately, there's a general exuberance and fondness for the musical material that eases the rough spots." Posted Dec 18, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
	"*Built on a wispy premise better suited to the realm of TV, The Pagemaster* plays like a slickly produced afternoon special.*" Posted Dec 4, 2007*	The Pagemaster (1994)	20%
	"Sprinkles in charming moments but ultimately doesn't evoke enough wonderment to overcome its tongue-twisting title and completely win over adults along with kids." Posted Nov 12, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	"The burden of having a famous sibling seems fraught with comedic possibilities, but whatever potential existed has been squandered and then some in Fred Claus, dumping coal into everyone's holiday stocking." Posted Nov 6, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
	"A movie that simultaneously squanders its leads and its DVD extras." Posted Sep 20, 2007	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
	"*[A] lack of fireworks makes Michael Clayton* refreshing in a sense, eschewing traditional white hats and black hats for more realistic shades of gray.*" Posted Aug 31, 2007*	Michael Clayton (2007)	91%
	"Relentlessly silly in spoofing martial-arts movie conventions, Balls of Fury has roughly enough laughs for a first-class trailer but wheezes, gasps and finally goes flat through much of its 90 minutes." Posted Aug 24, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
	"A fresh, disarmingly bright and at times explosively funny comedy well worth a trip to the mall, even if it eventually runs out of gas." Posted Aug 7, 2007	Clueless (1995)	83%
	"This peculiar thriller doesn't deliver enough jolts to leave the audience screaming." Posted Jul 25, 2007	The Good Son (1993)	21%
	"*Put simply, if somebody had to make a Simpsons* movie, this is pretty much what it should be -- clever, irreverent, satirical and outfitted with a larger-than-22-minutes plot.*" Posted Jul 25, 2007*	The Simpsons Movie (2007)	89%
	"Relentlessly juvenile and awash in stereotypes." Posted Jul 13, 2007	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	13%
	"Unleashing Robin Williams in the least flattering possible manner, License to Wed squanders the modest chemistry between its appealing central couple uniting its elements in an astonishingly flat romantic comedy." Posted Jun 30, 2007	License To Wed (2007)	8%
	"Degenerates into an improbable, confusing series of chases and an overly involved heist that takes far too long to set up." Posted Jun 25, 2007	Die Hard 3: Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995)	45%
	"*The problems with Evan Almighty* mostly boil down to questions of scale. The movie warns of an imminent flood, yet delivers only sprinkles of laughter or anything approaching magic.*" Posted Jun 18, 2007*	Evan Almighty (2007)	23%
	"POTC: At World's End clocks in at more than 2� hours, but, unlike last year's bloated sequel, at least possesses some semblance of a destination, making it slightly more coherent -- if no less numbing during the protracted finale." Posted May 23, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
	"*After several delayed release dates, Warner Bros. finally lays down its cards with Lucky You, and it's a weak hand." Posted May 2, 2007*	Lucky You (2007)	28%
	"Despite similarities as a vigilante creature of the night, however, the Shadow -- a character that enjoyed its greatest success in radio after being created in pulp novels -- lacks the visceral appeal of Batman and won't strike the same chord." Posted Apr 25, 2007	The Shadow (1994)	31%
	"Once the audience has become inured to the wide-eyed protagonist and impressive digitized effects, there's little sense of wonder or awe to be found." Posted Apr 18, 2007	Casper (1995)	42%
	"As for Kilmer, he gamely steps into the dual Batman/Wayne role but can't get much traction, finding, as Michael Keaton had, that beyond a stern jaw there's not much to be done with it, since the suit does most of the work." Posted Apr 16, 2007	Batman Forever (1995)	43%
	"Under director Rock, actor Rock doesn't possess quite the chops to pull off this character, and the humor and flights of fancy are simply too low-key for a movie that lists 'Irresistible Fantasy Woman No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3' in its credits." Posted Mar 8, 2007	I Think I Love My Wife (2007)	19%
	"Running a mere 80 minutes and somehow still feeling heavily padded, this Cops spoof yields a few amusing (if widely spaced) moments but otherwise simply revels in the gratuitous nudity, language and below-the-belt gags that an "R" rating provides." Posted Feb 23, 2007	Reno 911!: Miami (2007)	34%
	"January is usually not the time to expect much high art among new releases, but this is an especially limp star vehicle." Posted Jan 4, 2007	Code Name: The Cleaner (2007)	4%
