    Paul Verhoeven's Tricked
    Nothing more than an absurdist soap-opera bauble.

    What If
    Right up to its simplistic ending, the film is pleased to regurgitate the contrived tropes of the genre without ever honestly addressing the ethics of romantic boundaries.

    Sal
    It functions under the delusion that subtext will magically appear if you linger on a character long enough, and the significance of most of its scenes is nothing if not inscrutable.

    Saving Mr. Banks
    A tale of memory and redemption that does little to linger in the mind and even less to decry P.L. Travers's claim that Disney turns everything it touches into schmaltz.
    • 43 Metascore

    Dealin' with Idiots
    The film is reduced to a series of unfunny mockery laid out so Garlin can display his trademark deadpan reaction.

    Charlie Countryman
    An egregious entry into the pantheon of films about white Americans traveling to exotic lands in search of identity and soul-searching adventure.

    Bridgend
    The film, with its dark-blue-hued cinematography and murky music, is all foreboding atmosphere.
    • 19 Metascore
    • 25 Nick McCarthy
    Cavemen
    Cavemen is an apt title considering how the sensibility and maturity of the film's characters don't seem to have developed beyond primal, alpha-man impulses.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 25 Nick McCarthy
    Jessabelle
    Rather than commit to exploring Jessabelle's existential crisis, the filmmakers opt to pile on the clichés straight until the rotten denouement.
    • 49 Metascore

    The Best Offer
    It ascribes to the falsehood that a rarefied milieu inherently infuses a film with intelligence, as if inept execution can be covered up by pretty lensing.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 25 Nick McCarthy
    Two Night Stand
    It's attempt at conveying a candid portrait of contemporary hookup culture and the dishonesty of online dating profiles, but the film's sentiments are all past their expiration date.
