A load of formulaic nonsense that should still turn a few young heads thanks to its fantasy plot and Jesse Metcalfe's chest

Music And Lyrics never really finds its tone. Fans of Barrymore and Grant are likely to enjoy their pleasing ramblings, and the modern-day, down-to-earth courtship is handled well. But this is unlikely to go down as either actor’s finest hour.

An amusing watch, this has a freshness and naturalism rarely found in the typically over-styled French romcom genre.

While the quirky structure could be taken as a bold move, the story still feels frustratingly incomplete, rendering the preceding hour or so a tantalising glimpse at what could have been.

LaBoeuf is good, but his performance is – ironically – desperately serious, as is the tone of this film.

Superficially interesting in many ways but this doesn't really engage on a deeper level.

One of the definitive mystery chillers of all time. Poignant, beautiful and devastating.

Slow, ponderous, meticulously rendered realism that will appeal to specific audiences of slow, ponderous, meticulously rendered realism, with a heart.

Undemanding, observant and beautifully performed, this is Richard Curtis-lite with added reassurance: no challenging questions here.

Fans of the Ramona Quimby books will be disappointed, but tween girls will love it.

If you're looking for a film to put you off marriage, children, affairs, and indeed life itself, look no further than this melancholic ensemble piece about listless adulterous couples in small-town New England.

Not quite as nauseous as its plot might suggest, Little Manhattan is sassy as well as sweet.
