About Schmidt (2002) |

"Bartleby thinks he's onto something new but doesn't realize somebody already thought of the concept - it's called junior college." | |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |

Against the Ropes (2003) |

"A formula movie about Meg Ryan wearing skimpy clothes and uttering dialogue as painful as the heels in which she's strutting.

Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
|
"The documentary skims the surface, appreciating Franken's crass, troublemaking modus operandi. This would be OK if the doc were crammed with hilarious footage, but Franken comes off as more droll and bitter than clever." | |

Alexander (2004) |

"Like Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York, Alexander is an overindulgent, sprawling specimen of the director's lavish strengths and harrowing weaknesses." | |

Alfie (2004) |
|
"Law, chronically aware of his own charm, doesn't mimic Caine's performance; he rei-nterprets the character and sparks it with a new life, making Alfie thoroughly his own." | |

|
All The King's Men (2006) |
|
"Stark will start a speech in front of a few people, then throngs scamper in after he finishes his first sentence. By the end of his speeches he gets the crowd to chant catch-phrases. Willie Stark totally could have hosted "TRL."" | |
