    What makes this movie so inadequate is that there are some moments in it that could have been really worth watching.

    Let's talk about Paul Rudd. I think he may be in every film in 2007 and that's okay by me, because Paul Rudd has become an acting Man-God.
  1. You People chooses to bounce along from one awkward situation to the next, with little time to let the characters feel like actual people.

    Neither fun nor funny.

    The only reason to watch Step Up 2 the Streets, and I mean the only reason, is Briana Evigan.
  2. Has a wacky charm and a feeling like no other Disney film in recent years.
  3. In a perfect world, movies this clever would open in theaters every weekend. Maybe some day.
  4. In the plus column, Poseidon is a tightly-paced action movie that doesn’t depend too much on special effects for its thrills.

    The film pursues its sensitive material with the appropriate degree of care, but the direction by M. Night Shyamalan turns potentially provocative moments into dull eddies of melodrama. Would have made a perfect “After School Special,” however, it barely makes it across the finish line as a feature film.
  5. The new Witchboard is ambitious and fun at times, an overcooked horror revival with a blending addiction allegory, foodie satire, and supernatural spectacle.
  6. If you can handle a movie with a jam-packed ridiculous narrative that doesn’t entirely solve itself, then you should definitely watch Dreamland.

    A film that succeeds at being good without really succeeding in being worthwhile.

    The falling blade is the only element not missing the mark in this film. I wanted to call for the beheading after Act One, and spare the audience instead.
  7. You want uncomfortable tales of love and woe, then Race You to the Bottom has what you're looking for. And if you believe love is a disease that is meant to send people to screaming, burning hell, then you'll have a laugh riot, a real knee slapper, like 1,000 fart jokes heard all at once.

    The best thing I can say about A Dog’s Way Home is that it’s an exceptional film, that you’d find on the Hallmark Channel. Science has yet to count just how many strings the human heart has, but A Dog’s Way Home tries to pull every damn one of them.
  8. Sit back and get ready to melt into your chair.

    Ultimately, Blonde is a recommend but loaded with caveats and disclaimers. It’s not for everyone. Its artistic visuals and Ana de Armas’ spot-on performance as Marilyn Monroe is worth seeing, but the almost three hours of emotional trauma may be a hard pass for most.

    Sadly, it seems that the people behind this film saw a quick buck over quality and gave audiences a turkey.

    This cult chestnut is more intelligent, scary, humorous and effective than hyped recent genre efforts by Coppola, Jordan and Carpenter.
  9. Occasionally fun and constantly deranged, it’s a film that could have been much more with a modicum of restraint. I gave the worms a shot, but I think I’ll stick to eating worms of the gummy variety.

    Magic is one of the top-notch films of the 1970s. And if you haven’t heard of it by now, you should never forget the name at this point. It isn’t one of those psychological thrillers out to tie knots in your stomach right off. Like any good magic trick, the excitement comes with the waiting.
  10. A minor and forgettable bore.
  11. Aside from a decent cast trapped in a shoddy everything else, there is nothing to recommend here.

    As the narrative lugubriously sticks to the documented events, we are served nothing more than a filmed transcript.
  12. It’s definitely a well-crafted genre offering. The writing could be better, with more of an emphasis on the relationships than on the plot mechanisms, but the ending is cool. The cast is also very good, but again, if the script were just a tad bit better, the film would get a better rating from me.
  13. Paradise Hills has pacing issues, and a made-for-TV feel it can’t quite escape. A firmer grasp of tone would’ve benefited the narrative. Yet its creators’ boundless imagination carries it through the rougher patches.
  14. It has its share of eye-rolling moments, but at its heart there's a decent story.

    The movie's original moments drown in its overall derivation.
  15. Recycles a great many motifs from "Truman" but never comes close to putting on as good a show.
  16. Had Lucky You played strictly as a father-son drama set against the background of competitive Texas Hold 'Em, it would've been a much better movie based on the strength of Hanson's direction and Duvall's performance alone. But no, somewhere along the line they had to make this a romance, and that's the movie's fatal flaw.
