3/5
 
"A tropical sex comedy that’s a little unfocused, but Segal and co throw plenty of funniness at the wall - and most of it sticks."
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)84%
/
2/5
 
"The Karate Kid meets Fight Club but it's no way near as good as it sounds."
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Never Back Down (2008)25%
/
3/5
 
"Frightfest regulars and hungry gorehounds will get a kick out of this, but those who hailed Williams as a Brit-indie visionary after London To Brighton might be left scratching their heads."
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
The Cottage (2008)73%
/
3/5
 
"While this is the Grindhouse film that suffers most from being presented solo, it’s still the most fun. Watch with beer in hand and tongue in cheek for optimal effect."
Posted Nov 8, 2007
 
Planet Terror (2007)77%
/
3/5
 
"Well worth checking out, then, if you like your comedy supremely silly, but ultimately memorable only as a series of great skits mixed in with some dead patches."
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
Hot Rod (2007)39%
/
3/5
 
"Not up there with the best King adaptations, but a fun Gothic yarn that, like all good ghost stories, is simple and dripping with dread."
Posted Aug 31, 2007

2/5
 
"Like Lethal Weapon, this franchise has become lazier and less thrilling with each instalment. Hopefully, unlike Lethal Weapon, they’ll stop at Part Three."
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Rush Hour 3 (2007)20%
/
3/5
 
"This stripped-down chiller has some decent jump-frights, but a dearth of memorable moments."
Posted Jun 15, 2007
 
Vacancy (2007)55%
/
3/5
 
"Formula rules, as Ferrell applies his schtick to another sport. But there’s enough silly spectacle and eye-popping costumes to compensate."
Posted Apr 6, 2007
 
Blades of Glory (2007)69%
/
1/5
 
"Almost disturbingly unfunny."
Posted Mar 27, 2007
 
Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)50%
/
3/5
 
"A warm-hearted, smutty comedy that, if predictable, has a likeable cast and plenty of zip."
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
I Want Candy (2007)67%
/
3/5
 
"A superb bit of satiric high-concept that Judge mines proficiently for laughs."
Posted Mar 14, 2007
 
Idiocracy (2006)70%
/
1/5
 
"A one-liner stretched to feature length which is a little low on genuine wit to carry it off."
Posted Feb 7, 2007
 
Farce of the Penguins (2006)n/a
/
2/5
 
"More Shadow Conspiracy than In The Line Of Fire, this suffers from serious quality control issues. If you’re looking for superior suspense, buy a 24 box set instead."
Posted Sep 1, 2006
 
The Sentinel (2006)34%
/
4/5
 
"This is an intense, stripped-down ride that goes places you’d never expect. Edgy and outrageous, it should get the fearless Statham some deserved attention."
Posted Sep 1, 2006
 
Crank (2006)61%
/
1/5
 
"Very puerile humour and a pretty lame storyline."
Posted Jul 19, 2006
 
Joe's Apartment (1996)12%
/
3/5
 
"You’ll soon be sick of digital furballs, but there’s plenty of fun here — and Hammy is up there with Ice Age’s Scrat in the pantheon of lunatic movie rodents."
Posted Jun 30, 2006
 
Over the Hedge (2006)73%
/
2/5
 
"Like its title (will there be a worse one this year?), Lucky Number Slevin isn’t as clever as it thinks it is."
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Lucky # Slevin (2006)51%
/
4/5
 
"A sharp documentary that has comedy, tragedy and, yes, a glimpse of Linda Lovelace's party trick."
Posted Jan 7, 2006
 
Inside Deep Throat (2005)82%
/
3/5
 
"The laidback stars are funny and sweet, but they're let down by a patchy script which squanders some potentially priceless set-ups."
Posted Jul 28, 2005
 
Wedding Crashers (2005)75%
/
3/5
 
"It's undoubtedly good-natured, old-fashioned family entertainment, but Two Brothers never quite manages to strike a successful balance between fantasy and reality."
Posted Jul 23, 2004
 
Two Brothers (2004)78%
/
3/5
 
"The big screen adds extra impact to inspiring images which capture all the brutality, camaraderie and absurdity of the ocean."
Posted Jun 18, 2004
 
Deep Blue (2005)65%
/
3/5
 
"The banter is tighter and funnier, and Calvin's musings on the importance of community seem more heartfelt."
Posted May 14, 2004
 
Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004)69%
/
2/5
 
"A self-absorbed sugar rush of a movie, this might please small girls but will leave a sour taste in everyone else's mouth."
Posted May 14, 2004
 
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)13%
/
2/5
