2.5/5	"If you put the collected works of Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Judd Apatow in a pot, boiled off the excess and let the remainder cool, you'd have something very much like Step Brothers." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	53%
2/5	"Meet Dave pays lip service to the joys of exploring new worlds, but it never steps off the tour bus." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
D	"Notwithstanding the occasional unintended guffaw, Obermaier's fabulous life is resoundingly unexciting." -- Onion AV Club Posted Jul 10, 2008	Eight Miles High (2007)	42%
	"Gets inside Chapman's head but never under his skin." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 15, 2008	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	35%
0/5	"Hottie goes from insufferable to downright intolerable. While it pays lip service to inner beauty, the movie winds up as a feature-length advertisement for cosmetic surgery." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 8, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
1.5/5	"*Uwe Boll isn't the worst director in the world, but In the Name of the King* might be more enjoyable if he were.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Jan 14, 2008	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	5%
1.5/5	"Building to a climactic twist as arbitrary as it is unsatisfying, WarK ties itself in knots trying to bring something new to a stale formula. It's never painful to watch, but that's only because it provokes no feeling at all." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 27, 2007	War (2007)	14%
2/5	"Drama/Mex has flashy style but puppetlike characters and unconvincing stories." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 16, 2007	Drama/Mex (2007)	35%
2/5	"The movie's sloppiness is galling, especially given its target audience. It's one thing to feed grown-ups junk, and another to serve it to consumers too young to know they're being had." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 3, 2007	Underdog (2007)	14%
2/5	"The movie could have had much greater resonance were it not focused so monolithically on basketball. One wonders what life was like at Attucks High, or how the players' success on the court affected their lives off it." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 27, 2007	Something to Cheer About (2002)	43%
2.5/5	"The movie is all surface, loudly clamoring for attention and then losing its voice." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 12, 2007	Adam's Apples (2007)	71%
2/5	"Although Ice Cube is still happy to haul out his old snarl when it serves his purposes, he's clearly trying to reinvent himself as a family entertainer. But the milder he gets, the less confident he seems. What's a reformed gangsta rapper to do?" -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 3, 2007	Are We Done Yet? (2007)	8%
2.5/5	"Pride wades into the shallows when it ought to be diving into the deep end. In waters this familiar, everyone knows how to swim." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 23, 2007	Pride (2007)	46%
2/5	"My Brother is brimming with would-be life lessons. But the movie goes in so many directions, and follows through on so few of them, that all it transmits is a vague glow. It's watered-down chicken soup for the soul." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 15, 2007	My Brother (2007)	30%
1.5/5	"*The landscape of Wild Hogs* is cluttered with the comic equivalent of suburban sprawl, an endless cyclorama of rehashed jokes and whiny complaint.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Mar 1, 2007	Wild Hogs (2007)	15%
2/5	"Drawing on their sitcom chops, Graham and Cavanagh cover for their cloth-eared dialogue with trumped-up camaraderie, pushing and pulling at each other like toddlers in playgroup." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 22, 2007	Gray Matters (2007)	10%
2/5	"*It's a good thing the performances are subtle, since little else about Starter for 10* is. Director Tom Vaughan has a particularly leaden hand with music cues.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Feb 22, 2007	Starter For 10 (2007)	89%
1.5/5	"*Lacking the wit to qualify as a sick joke, the ongoing saga of Hannibal Lecter has become the Grand Guignol* equivalent of a shaggy-dog story.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Feb 9, 2007	Hannibal Rising (2007)	15%
1.5/5	"Surely some humanitarian organization will recognize the selflessness with which Murphy has taken three of the movie's major roles, thus saving two other actors from a nasty black mark on their r�sum�s." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 8, 2007	Norbit (2007)	9%
2/5	"The objective view gives the audience too much room to unravel its schematic plot, which is far less inspired than its creepy visuals." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 2, 2007	The Messengers (2007)	11%
1/5	"*Like an ugly tie or a pair of slipper socks, Black Christmas* is destined to be forgotten the instant it's unwrapped, gathering dust until the season rolls around again.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Dec 26, 2006	Black Christmas (2006)	17%
2/5	"[Its] mild-mannerness is especially disappointing when compared with such documentaries as The War Tapes and the excellent Home Front, vivid and incisive explorations of post-Iraq anger and disillusionment that have gone largely unseen." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 15, 2006	Home of the Brave (2006)	23%
2.5/5	"It's understandable that Scott wants to highlight snowboarding's diversity, but perhaps a winter-sports documentary shouldn't try to cover the waterfront." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 8, 2006	Snow Blind (2006)	20%
2.5/5	"*That Empire* lacks clear-cut heroes and villains is not necessarily a fault, but the movie's muddle too often comes across as an attempt to avoid assigning responsibility where it belongs.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Dec 8, 2006	The Empire in Africa (2006)	67%
2/5	"If Biraben had devoted more energy to the human contours of his story, its metaphorical implications would have sorted themselves out." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 24, 2006	Cautiva (2005)	67%
2/5	"*Like a fatally snarled string of Christmas lights, Deck the Halls* promises holiday cheer but delivers only frustration.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Nov 21, 2006	Deck the Halls (2006)	6%
2/5	"The Return universally fails to establish any sense of reality, which makes it hard to register when Joanna's world starts falling apart." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 13, 2006	The Return (2006)	15%
1/5	"The movie's disinterest in character might be forgivable were its plot not riddled with holes." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 9, 2006	Unknown (2006)	36%
1/5	"*A comprehensive list of what's wrong with Romeo & Juliet: Sealed With a Kiss* would stretch farther than the unabridged works of William S.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Oct 26, 2006	Romeo & Juliet, Sealed With a Kiss (2006)	n/a
2/5	"Tideland's unmodulated frenzy has the effect of a prolonged shriek, too high and shrill for individual words to make themselves heard." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Oct 19, 2006	Tideland (2006)	28%
2/5	"Why another version of this oft-filmed tale?" -- Los Angeles Times Posted Oct 13, 2006	One Night With The King (2006)	16%
2.5/5	"*Apart from reviving the original Massacre's* pervasive sense of Nixon-era malaise, it doesn't offer much in the way of satisfying origins.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Oct 6, 2006	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)	13%
2/5	"There's little sign of the honest ambivalence that made Lennon a great artist, if a questionable spokesman." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 15, 2006	The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006)	76%
	"*There's no room in Blind Chance's deterministic universe for character or personal choice, which may be why the film feels less fleshed-out, more schematic than some of Kieslowski's others." -- Philadelphia City Paper* Posted Aug 30, 2006	Blind Chance (1981)	83%
2/5	"*It's reasonable, of course, for a teenager to misunderstand his mother. But The Whore's Son* doesn't comprehend her any better than her son does.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Jun 9, 2006	The Whore's Son (2006)	25%
1/5	"Farnsworth's frenetic, often hysterical first feature tries desperately to find a style, or styles, to call its own, but there's never a moment that doesn't feel as if it's been chewed up and spit out a dozen times before." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 13, 2006	Iowa (2006)	15%
	"Turns Biblical scripture into boneheaded action-adventure with only the slightest lip service paid to serious issues of faith." -- Philadelphia City Paper Posted Feb 7, 2001	Left Behind - The Movie (2001)	12%
	"Never finds a rhythm it�s comfortable with, nor much to say that�s not been said before." -- Philadelphia City Paper Posted Feb 7, 2001	The Invisible Circus (2001)	22%
