Pineapple Express
“A hilarious and, at times, very violent kick in the pants that combines genres just as well as any other comedy this year.”
The Wackness
“The smartly-written characters are the most redeeming part of this independent surprise.”
Swing Vote
“A tired and cliché misfire at political satire.”
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
“Relies heavily on special effects to divert the audience’s attention from the film’s misplaced and scanty humor.”
Step Brothers
“Once you get past all the horseplay and back to the short and offensive dialogue, there is some fun to be had with Ferrell and Reilly.”
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
“An obsessively thematic script worthy of a few edits.”
The Dark Knight
“An immensely dim and entertaining crime drama masked as a superhero movie.”
Space Chimps
“Unrefined and poorly generated, ‘Space Chimps’ isn’t what most would consider quality animation.”
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
“The mythology is still as interesting as its predecessor, but less important this time around.”
Meet Dave
“[Eddie] Murphy spreads it on thick. It becomes a problem when the script turns out to be so lanky.”
Mamma Mia!
“It takes a while to warm up to the characters as they sing and flutter about.”
Journey to the Center of the Earth
“The computer-generated risks just happen to work much better than the story itself.”
