  1. About Time
    Gleeson and McAdams make a touching, lifelike couple, but by the time the movie starts telling us to live each day as if we were going back and doing it all over again, you may feel Curtis has mistaken hokum for wisdom.
  2. Not Fade Away
    Not Fade Away is Chase's reward to himself - a transparently autobiographical work, his first feature-length film, and one that he's said he has wanted to make for years.
  3. Bachelorette
    Yet if Bachelorette takes the form of a romantic ensemble comedy, it's purged of any true romantic feeling. You'll laugh, maybe a lot, but you won't feel great about it in the morning.
  4. The Details
    Tobey Maguire's characteristic placidity makes a fine mask for a man who is thoroughly awful.
  5. A Royal Affair
    The storytelling in A Royal Affair is traditional bordering on square. But the historical drama itself - about how an idealistic German doctor influenced a silly king, romanced a queen, and brought the Age of Enlightenment to 18th-century Denmark - is kind of amazing.
  6. A Late Quartet
    The title refers not only to particular music by Beethoven but also to the fictional string quartet of Yaron Zilberman's fussily genteel, overplotted Manhattan tale in which interpersonal stresses build to a crescendo when one of the foursome becomes ill.
  7. Quartet
    Dustin Hoffman, a 75-year-old first-time feature director better known as a great old acting pro, conducts at a pleasant tempo.
  8. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
    Like everything else in Jackson's Tolkienland, the buildup to the climactic melee stretches on too long. But when it comes, it's a doozy.
  9. Kung Fu Panda 3
    Just complicated enough to reward steady viewers and just simple enough for parent escorts to enjoy without much prior knowledge.
  10. Pain & Gain
    With Pain & Gain, his surprising true-crime comedy, Bay has finally decided to lighten up a bit.
  11. Admission
    Admission, a likably breezy campus movie directed by Paul Weitz (About a Boy), is blissfully non-insulting.
  12. We're the Millers
    While Aniston shows that she's as deft on a stripper pole as she is with her sitcom-honed timing, Sudeikis wields his smart-ass sarcasm like a barbed weapon. And more often than not, it kills.
  13. Brooklyn Castle
    A great subject goes a long way in this standard but effective entry in the amazing-kids documentary category.
  14. Ant-Man
    Reed and Rudd's film is proof that no matter how silly some ideas sound at first, good things often do come in small packages.
  15. Pusher (2012)
    Best part: Colorful Croatian-Danish actor Zlatko Buri´ reprises his role as the jovially menacing foreign heavy out to collect his dough.
  16. Closed Circuit
    It has a chillingly matter-of-fact cynicism that is very au courant.
  17. California Solo
    There's a lovely gravity and specificity to the story that transcends instances of bumpy filmmaking.
  18. Barrymore
    Among the drawbacks: Director Érik Canuel jumps through hoops in an effort to make the stage piece (by William Luce) move like the movie piece it isn't.
  19. Much Ado About Nothing
    The film isn't as fast and funny as it could be, although Nathan Fillion's easily offended constable injects some sorely needed comic relief.
  20. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
    It's still plenty hilarious in a reheated sort of way.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Call
    Surprisingly good, and surprisingly gruesome, fun.
  22. Jobs
    The ironic thrust of the movie is that Jobs' humanity is there in that perfectionistic insanity. He pushes and pushes to make home computers more and more appealing, accessible, and user-friendly, and that's his great gift to the world.
  23. Muppets Most Wanted
    The film loses some of its fizz by giving in to a so-so caper plot that unintentionally proves the axiom they were just satirizing.
  24. Sweetgrass
    Sweetgrass is austere enough to make Frederick Wiseman's films look like Jersey Shore episodes, yet it has its own suspense.
  25. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
    Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb has one thing going for it that even many of this season's prestige films don't: It's kind of fun, unembarrassingly, and not least of all because the people who made it look like they had a good time doing so.
  26. Planes
    What Planes lacks in novelty, it makes up for with eye-popping aerial sequences and a high-flying comic spirit.
  27. About Last Night
    In About Last Night, Hart blows up, to hilariously oversize proportions, the eternal male desire for freedom. He’s raunch on wheels.
  28. Rubberneck
    The movie is scattershot (intense at some moments, slack at others), but it earns its docu-style creepiness, and Karpovsky's stretch as an actor is daring and authentic.
  29. Red Flag
    It's conventional stuff, only executed with a smart, improv-y verve.
  30. The Way, Way Back
    There's something slightly formulaic and familiar about Nat Faxon and Jim Rash's coming-of-age film The Way, Way Back, but not enough to dampen its crowd-pleasing charm.
