Jeff, Who Lives at Home

“While their style remains unchanged, the Duplass brothers are maturing as filmmakers.”

Friends with Kids

“A dramedy that starts off uniquely funny but ultimately loses steam in its familiar dénouement.”

John Carter

“Thankfully, the spectacle ends up muscling away the pulpier elements of the story.”

The Lorax

“Filmmakers gleefully chopped down one of Dr. Seuss’ literary trees in order to summon this Lorax.”

Project X

“A one-note film…Isn’t something anyone should plan their weekend around.”

A Separation

“A moving and well-executed masterpiece with a heartbreaking narrative and clear voice.”

Wanderlust

“Funny more often than not…A mostly enjoyable film that stops just shy of wearing out its welcome.”

Act of Valor

“Doesn’t honor any heroes…A story faxed straight from Chuck Norris’s 1980s production office.”

The Secret World of Arrietty

“A beautifully understated animation centered on a forbidden friendship.”

Safe House

“An exceedingly routine spy thriller…that will easily be lost among the mediocrity come March.”

The Vow

“Although it occasionally comes off as sincere, the story is too schmaltzy. It’s a lazy effort.”

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

“A Jules-Verne-defiling sequel filled with idiotic leaps of logic.”
