"Director Brian Robbins keeps things moving along briskly and maintains a genial air throughout; all that plus an air-conditioned theatre makes Meet Dave a good bet for family viewing." -- Jam! Movies

"Angel is both a sly take on the melodramatic films of another era -- imagine sets and scenery out of The Magnificent Ambersons, for example -- and a spoof of contemporary celebrity, among other things." -- Jam! Movies

"Wall*E has adventure, danger and thrills to be sure, but for this viewer, the animated tale seemed to be more about the animation and less about the storytelling." -- Jam! Movies

Global Metal (USA)n/a

"Nobody gets the time or the treatment to become a character you'd actually care about, which makes the general planet-in-peril theme of the movie kind of moot." -- Jam! Movies

"The acting is better than adequate, and Rhona Mitra is very good as the jaded heroine. As loud, relentless, chaotic, brutally violent and gory B-movies go, this one is a keeper." -- Jam! Movies

"A charming picture about filmmaking all dressed up as a comedy. Exaggerated and wonderfully silly, the movie concerns hilarious amateur movie-making -- but sneaks in a message about community and the transformative power of art." -- Jam! Movies
