"By keeping their story threads separate, benefits from solid pacing and character development. Since no one is stuck in the sidekick role, you get a chance to connect to each girl."

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)76%

C+
 
"We get that the heroine is geeky (laying groundwork for the duck-to-swan transformation), but must she babble physics formulas at parties?"

"Sadly, much like an SNL sketch, Mean Girls starts off sharp and juicy, then runs out of gas halfway through."

"Garner's performance is uplifting. She's been touted recently as yet another possible heir to Julia Roberts' throne, and her attainable girl-next-door quality makes it's plain to see why."

"Try as it might, this glossy action adventure isn't nearly as clever as the Spy Kids franchise."

C+
 
"Gives [Lohan] ample time to act starry-eyed and show off her dancing and singing, but little chance to prove she can hold her own among the Hilary Duffs of the world."

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)13%

"Possesses little of the snap or charisma of the films that inspired it."
Posted Jan 29, 2004
 
The Perfect Score (2004)16%

"Tries to be a story about triumph and teamwork. Instead it comes off like a group of high schoolers awkwardly auditioning for a play."
Posted Jan 29, 2004
 
You Got Served (2004)17%

"A Fast and the Furious on motorcycles that gets its juice from its road action but little else."
Posted Jan 16, 2004

"Watching a Bruckheimer with natural comics like Smith and Lawrence makes it all go down easily. If you like this type of movie, that is."

"Unabashedly dumb and pathetically offensive."

"It dances into Spoofville, then jerks back into straight romantic comedy."

"A formulaic picture that's entertaining enough, but makes you wonder if Li will ever duplicate his success in Asia in the States."

"An uncluttered, resonant gem that relays its universal points without lectures or confrontations."

"Allen is genuinely affable as Santa with wit."

The Santa Clause 2 (2002)55%

B-
 
"You've convinced yourself it's a drama just before the story twists, after which the throwaway 'filler' scenes become conversation points you'll decipher on the way home."
Posted Oct 18, 2002
 
Abandon (2002)17%
/
B
 
"Doesn't bank on cheap plot twists or unrealistic betrayals, but rather the subtle, juicy roles bestowed on two young actors."

"Had it not wandered into aforementioned eclair territory, it could have been better than a discount video rental."

"Sorority Boys, which is as bad at it is cruel, takes every potential laugh and stiletto-stomps the life out of it."

"Like many video games, Resident Evil has a drearily long setup, then a lot of blood and gore, then an overextended ending."
Posted Mar 14, 2002
 
Resident Evil (2002)33%
/
C+
 
"Its generic villains lack any intrigue (other than their funny accents) and the action scenes are poorly delivered."

All About the Benjamins (2002)31%

"Mostly fun to watch, buoyed by some strong dialogue and performances by the supporting cast."

"The cast, collectively a successful example of the lovable-loser protagonist, shows deft comic timing."

"A charmless road pic slathered in cheese."

"The film gets snaps just by attempting the high road, and should be enjoyed by its target audience."

"Birthday Girl conspicuously shifts between a semiromance, semicomedy and semicrime thriller, which dilutes the best of its parts and results in a confection only half-baked in entertainment."

"By the time a member of teen-movie royalty makes a cameo in the film's finale, Not Another Teen Movie has long exhausted any hope of succeeding. Instead it becomes, well, just another teen movie."
