    Evergreen
    Though the acting is tentative at times, with performances not quite landing on the same page, Evergreen is a compassionate slice of Pacific Northwest misery.

    The Prince and Me
    Their opposites-attract trajectory entertainingly reaches an applause-inducing climax -- but heeding Eddie's exegetical advice, Prince refuses to end on such an easy emotional note.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Ed Park
    Slow Jam King
    More fun to listen to than watch -- though this still leaves the problem of dialogue.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 30 Ed Park
    Returner
    A shamelessly recycled vision of decrepit high tech.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Ed Park
    Group
    Though the characters are in fact sustained improvisations, the roles feel inhabited rather than acted -- a quality acutely present in scenes of excruciating awkwardness.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Ed Park
    Barbershop
    As hackneyed as they come, but the overall mood is less cynical than affectionate.
    • 48 Metascore

    Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
    Adept and generally enjoyable.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 50 Ed Park
    Timeline
    Crudely written, haphazardly acted, and improbably fun.

    People Say I'm Crazy
    His story is sad but not humorless.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 30 Ed Park
    House of D
    Marred by a rambling voice-over at one end and a pat therapeutic resolution on the other, the film has a nice half-hour patch somewhere in the middle.
    • 66 Metascore

    Notorious C.H.O.
    All stand-up comedy is oral aggression, but Cho's is an especially fascinating strain.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Ed Park
    Holes
    Brims with storytelling flourishes and gently deployed life lessons that even accompanying adults may dig
    • 71 Metascore

    In July
    A nimbler approach to border crossing, German-born director Fatih Akin's In July resembles a shaggier "Serendipity," with a similar moony conflation of coincidence and destiny.
    • 37 Metascore

    Honey
    If you doubt whether Honey can scrape together the dough, this is probably the movie for you.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Ed Park
    Camp
    Camp is self-conscious when the teens aren't singing, but the quote marks fall away as soon as they lift their voices.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 20 Ed Park
    Miss Wonton
    As genre comeuppance, this might have been nasty fun, but the movie barely makes sense, with its unbelievable naïveté and arbitrary flashbacks.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Ed Park
    The Princess Blade
    Yuki's streamlined revenge story (the furious, elegant choreography is by HK maestro Donnie Yen) has in its modest dimensions a surprising grace.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Ed Park
    Bruce Almighty
    A looking-glass cover version of "The Truman Show," the maudlin Jim Carrey vehicle Bruce Almighty lets the comedian ply his rubber-limbed shtick as well as indulge his pursuit of sappiness.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Ed Park
    Maybe Baby
    Proves infertile in more ways than one.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Ed Park
    Serendipity
    The most romantic New York movie since August's "Happy Accidents."
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Ed Park
    Garden State
    Braff's naive romanticism is also lovely proof of the film's innocent heart.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 30 Ed Park
    Jersey Girl
    Aware of its awfulness.
    • 15 Metascore
    • 60 Ed Park
    My Boss's Daughter
    A pleasurably intense burst of anarchy with no moral in sight, thank God.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 10 Ed Park
    Loners
    Contains exactly three decent jokes, all stuffed in the last 15 minutes.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 40 Ed Park
    Bigger Than the Sky
    At least Sean Astin, as a scene-chewing prima donna, seems to be having a good time--and mom Patty Duke gets to call him a "turd."
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Ed Park
    Cheaper by the Dozen
    Solidifying his funnyman rep, Ashton Kutcher appears as oldest child Piper Perabo's model-actor boyfriend, a delightfully brainless narcissist.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Ed Park
    A State of Mind
    One leaves the film with the Twilight Zone sense that the place isn't quite the hellhole prior reports have suggested.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Ed Park
    Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
    As parody, it's toothless and often smug, but as random Ferrellspeak generator, it has its delights.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 20 Ed Park
    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    Even if, per Wilde, all art is quite useless, it need not be quite as useless as this.
