    The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
    You can’t shake the feeling the script is trying too hard to please, upping the drama despite the fact that what made the first film so enjoyable was its relative simplicity.
    • 56 Metascore

    Focus
    Focus is a shiny, stylish shell game of a film that, much like its protagonists, relies on breezy chatter, a good sense of humor and a lot of misdirection to succeed.

    Fifty Shades of Grey
    Despite what you might fear, the movie is not torture. And even if it doesn’t inspire lust, you will breathe a warm sigh of relief, thinking: This could have been so much worse.

    Cake
    There are some who may lament Aniston’s choice to step out of her comfortable comedy shoes and little black dresses, but the decision was sound: The best reason to see Cake — the sort of film that makes your life look pretty good in comparison — is to watch her deliver her best dramatic performance to date.

    Unbroken
    The bigger problem is that neither Jolie nor the script bothers to flesh Louis out as a fully formed person with faults and fears and regrets, which keeps the film from ever capturing you emotionally.

    Wild
    Wild may sound like a film about redemption, but it’s more about learning to live with what you can’t control — and accepting what you can control, which is sometimes just as difficult.
    • 77 Metascore

    Calvary
    Filmed around stunning County Sligo on Ireland’s west coast, Calvary is a thoughtful, atmospheric movie despite the awkward parade of suspects and the fact that everyone seems a little too conveniently hostile.

    What If
    There was, however, another question the screenwriter should have asked: Why does the script focus on the wrong couple?

    The Hundred-Foot Journey
    A trifle bland, but with enough virtues to make it palatable to audiences who want comfort food, not a challenge, when they go to the movies.

    Get On Up
    The concert scenes in this biographical picture are some of its best moments — you’ll wonder just how long the actor had to practice to perfect all those splits — and Boseman’s charisma is irresistible.

    And So It Goes
    Not entirely unwatchable.

    Wish I Was Here
    Even the most ardent fans of Braff’s first feature film, the charming Garden State, will struggle to warm up to this self-indulgent, uninvolving drama about an immature, almost-middle-aged guy trying to find himself with questions he should have had answers to long ago.

    Sex Tape
    The cinematic equivalent of herpes, Sex Tape is an uncomfortable embarrassment to raunchy comedies everywhere. Fortunately, no medication is required after being exposed to it: The effects are not permanent, only painful.

    Begin Again
    Begin Again manages to be romantic and cynical about the music industry, which Carney touches on but never allows to take center stage.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 38 Connie Ogle
    Third Person
    Derivative and self-important, Third Person is a concept and not much more, precisely the sort of film that makes you wonder why anybody would bother to see it at all.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 63 Connie Ogle
    Think Like a Man Too
    The undeniable star is the diminutive comedian. He’s the glue that holds the movie together when it wanders into the weeds and starts believing it’s a serious meditation on relationships.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Connie Ogle
    The Fault in Our Stars
    Best of all, the film never makes its characters into stoic or tragic heroes, choosing instead to highlight what makes them human — their hopes, their fears, their anger, the way they learn to live with knowing they’re going to die.
    • 44 Metascore

    The Love Punch
    This movie couldn’t be more fantastical if dragons swooped down and incinerated London, Paris and the south of France.
    • 31 Metascore

    Blended
    Blended isn’t Sandler’s funniest movie or his best, but it is a big step up from the dregs he’s been churning out, a messy, shaggy dog of a comedy that you can’t help but like even as it sheds all over your house.

    Belle
    It still feels a little like a lesson you’re supposed to learn before you can enjoy anything truly satisfying.
    • 68 Metascore

    Chef
    Favreau worked hard to replicate an authentic restaurant world, and it shows in every frame that involves chopping, dicing, slicing, sautéing or otherwise cooking (he also finds an ingenious way to visually portray Twitter, so vital in the marketing of food trucks).

    Million Dollar Arm
    Due to its good humor and terrific story, Million Dollar Arm is always engaging; its power lies in its feel-good charm.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Connie Ogle
    Hateship Loveship
    We may not understand her, this strange, solitary woman, but we know in our bones her desire for a place in the world.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 75 Connie Ogle
    The Other Woman
    Definitely funny. Goofy, ridiculous, with more gross-out humor than is strictly necessary but still funny.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Connie Ogle
    Cesar Chavez
    That rare biopic that’s shorter and swifter than it should be. This turns out to be both a blessing and a curse.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Connie Ogle
    The Face of Love
    Thoughtfully directed and co-written by Arie Posin, the film is not a ghost story, nor is it played for campy laughs, but its melodramatic subject matter flirts with Douglas Sirk territory — and sometimes just dives right into it.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 50 Connie Ogle
    Winter's Tale
    Unfortunately there’s far too little magic in this clumsy attempt to marry fantasy and realism; the film doesn’t have the grace or imagination to bridge the gaps between the two.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Connie Ogle
    Labor Day
    If you can get past the ludicrous fantasy — well, wait, that’s the problem. You can’t get past the ludicrous fantasy.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 50 Connie Ogle
    Gimme Shelter
    As a film, though, Gimme Shelter is unremarkable, a predictable story of redemption that happens awfully fast, to a girl who only seems to be in peril briefly — and has a rich dad to bail her out.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 75 Connie Ogle
    The Best Offer
    Screenwriter/director Tornatore is best known for his nostalgic "Cinema Paradiso," which won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1990. But The Best Offer is completely different in style and tone; it’s dark instead of light, a psychological thriller of sorts, only with Virgil’s heart and orderly life in peril instead of his life.
