	"Its flat, static quality belies the novel's richness." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 11, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
	"The key image is a close-up of Murphy's gleaming choppers, but aside from that the movie is toothless." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
	"With its scatological humor, penis jokes, feeble puns, and middle-school ideal of love, this Mike Myers vehicle exemplifies American comedy's continuing slide into infantilism." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
	"Julianne Moore proves game for anything in this pitch-black true-crime reconstruction, where she stars as mercurial socialite Barbara Baekeland, wife of the taciturn heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune (virtuoso Stephen Dillane)." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 13, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
	"Wahlberg turns in one of his worst performances ever, but then he's saddled with preposterous scenes (like one where he tries to placate a ficus) and such lame lines as "Could this really be happening?" Funny, I was wondering the same thing myself." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
	"Director Roger Spottiswoode uses the children and action sequences to good effect, but a lack of chemistry between Rhys Meyers and Mitchell makes the love story fizzle." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
	"Coying and manipulative." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 30, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	97%
	"During their late-70s heyday the Muppets won huge TV audiences with their corny puns and showbiz in-jokes, but stretched to feature length the formula loses some of its snap." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 20, 2008	The Great Muppet Caper (1981)	71%
	"The Matrix creators Andy and Larry Wachowski barrel through this adaptation of the 60s animated series, hoping perhaps that no one will notice the story is as flat as roadkill." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 9, 2008	Speed Racer (2008)	36%
	"The comic scenes can be arch or shrill, but director Marcos Siega (Pretty Persuasion) does better when the story turns somber and the emotions feel genuine." -- Chicago Reader Posted Apr 11, 2008	Chaos Theory (2008)	29%
	"A macabre comedy of manners with the sting of dry ice, this 2007 ensemble piece captures the social climate of America in the late 40s." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 14, 2008	Married Life (2008)	57%
	"Jeff Wadlow directed this exploitation flick, which seems designed for students on spring break." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
	"The comedian Sinbad once said that Hollywood seeks out original talents but then tries to make them just like everyone else. A case in point is Martin Lawrence." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 10, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	14%
	"Overblown and stupefyingly dull." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 7, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
	"This stale comedy about a vengeful ghost would be depressing if it weren't so disposable." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 31, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	14%
	"Feels derivative of 28 Days Later." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 11, 2008	30 Days of Night (2007)	49%
	"The bad guys' omnipotence at nearly every turn dilutes the film's suspense." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 4, 2008	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
	"Alvin, Theodore, and Simon have the only good lines or recognizable emotions, with Jason Lee and David Cross straining to flesh out their cardboard roles." -- Chicago Reader Posted Dec 13, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
	"An exercise in dissonance." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 21, 2007	August Rush (2007)	38%
	"This romantic drama by director Mike Newell preserves the odd playfulness of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's international best seller but sacrifices its eroticism and intricate nonlinear plotting." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 16, 2007	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	27%
	"The strain is obvious in the story's last third, as the filmmaker struggles toward a resolution that fits the logic of the hero's netherworld." -- Chicago Reader Posted Nov 2, 2007	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	65%
	"Almost every note in this insipid comedy is strident or false." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
	"A murky screenplay leaves most of the humans ciphers, save for Hal Holbrook in an exquisitely calibrated performance as the avuncular desert retiree whose advice McCandless should have heeded." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 27, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
	"A flimsy plot about Korean spies leads to a climactic sight gag involving an enhanced version of George W. Bush's forefinger, but it's all window dressing for the main attraction: lots of bouncing T & A." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007)	30%
	"The set-up is tediously slow, while the later murders are packed so tightly it's like watching a blender on high speed." -- Chicago Reader Posted Sep 4, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
	"Director Bendelack and writer-producer McBurney aim for the comedy of Chaplin, Keaton, and Tati, relying heavily on sight gags and their star's pratfalls and facial contortions, but they vititate the comic payoffs by allowing scenes to run too long." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 23, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
	"The juvenile actors come off as movie brats, and the pacing is slowed by treacly speeches about father-son bonding. As a child star on The Wonder Years, director Fred Savage worked with some of TV's best, but you'd never guess it from this." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 9, 2007	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	1%
	"Chan shows he still has the chops during a showdown at the Eiffel Tower, but you'd think the movie's reported budget of $140 million might have bought Tucker at least one side-splitting gag." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 9, 2007	Rush Hour 3 (2007)	20%
	"Watching these endangered species evolve new approaches to hunting and shelter is fascinating, but the movie is seriously marred by a cloying screenplay and such kid-pleasing touches as shots of walruses belching and farting." -- Chicago Reader Posted Aug 3, 2007	Arctic Tale (2007)	62%
	"It's not scary because not one second is believable." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 16, 2007	Captivity (2007)	7%
	"This is the bleakest Potter installment to date, and under David Yates's choppy direction, Maggie Smith, Emma Thompson, Brendan Gleeson, and David Thewlis have little more than walk-ons." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 12, 2007	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	77%
	"Not a movie, just one gigantic commercial for Hasbro." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 11, 2007	Transformers (2007)	57%
	"Stunning vistas of New Zealand's rolling countryside aren't enough to carry this lame 2006 horror spoof about a lab experiment gone awry." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jul 11, 2007	Black Sheep (2007)	71%
	"The movie is a little windy and over-the-top, and the gossipy references to J-Lo and Anna Nicole Smith are woefully outdated." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 11, 2007	The Salon (2005)	13%
	"Even likable star Zach Braff can't salvage this clunker." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 10, 2007	The Ex (2007)	19%
	"Slow-moving 2006 biopic about Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree." -- Chicago Reader Posted May 4, 2007	The Flying Scotsman (2007)	50%
	"This cynical action picture wants to have its cake and eat it too." -- Chicago Reader Posted Apr 26, 2007	The Condemned (2007)	15%
	"[Haas'] attempt to convey the tangled relations between sheikhs and insurgents, occupiers and civilians is undercut by Wendell Steavenson's mightily overwritten screenplay." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 30, 2007	The Situation (2007)	37%
	"Romantic comedies should never be this exhausting." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 23, 2007	What Love Is (2007)	17%
	"The image that best sums up this dismal comedy is Cedric the Entertainer cringing over a cell phone that's been hidden in a cow's rectum." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 7, 2007	Man of the House (2005)	8%
	"Just when you thought camp was dead, along comes this bizarre cross between a Tarantino knockoff and a Hammer horror film." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 7, 2007	BloodRayne (2006)	4%
	"The production values are above par, but as in Carpenter's original, seeing ghosts is less scary than imagining them." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 6, 2007	The Fog (2005)	5%
	"There's a discernible lack of enthusiasm from almost everyone involved, and Duff, who's gone from wholesome to haggard in two short years, is flat-out scary." -- Chicago Reader Posted Mar 6, 2007	Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005)	6%
	"The husband learns nothing, and his monstrous behavior makes the movie relentlessly downbeat." -- Chicago Reader Posted Feb 16, 2007	Climates (2006)	71%
	"Sadly, the movie just doesn't deliver chills." -- Chicago Reader Posted Feb 7, 2007	The Messengers (2007)	11%
	"Throughout most of her career Diane Keaton has shown sound instincts, so it's a mystery why she failed to sniff this false, brittle comedy out as a waste of her gifts." -- Chicago Reader Posted Feb 1, 2007	Because I Said So (2007)	5%
	"*Essentially Jaws* moved to Africa.*" -- Chicago Reader* Posted Jan 16, 2007	Primeval (2007)	17%
	"Whatever possessed director Lawrence Guterman and writer Lance Khazei to transform the sequel to 1994's libidinous hit comedy into pabulum?" -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 8, 2007	Son of the Mask (2005)	5%
	"Like the gods, the trading cards are capricious, with ever-changing rules and strategies so intricate that only Yu-Gi-Ohlogists will fully enjoy this adventure." -- Chicago Reader Posted Jan 8, 2007	Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie (2004)	5%
	"Norton and Schreiber seem too American to be English colonials, but Watts navigates a challenging transformation (in a role first played by Greta Garbo in 1934), and there are sturdy performances by Anthony Wong, Toby Jones, and Diana Rigg." -- Chicago Reader Posted Dec 29, 2006	The Painted Veil (2006)	74%
