  1. The biggest loser in all of this is Chan, whose legacy over here won’t be his 20+ years as a martial arts pioneer, but rather his playing straight man to the likes of Tucker and Owen Wilson.

    Delivers on the action front, laughs, and some great visual splendor. The only real problem with this film is the running time.

    Daddy Day Camp is a perfect family film for the blind and deaf.

    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.
  2. Hathaway's exuberance and dramatic range are fitting for this portrayal of the celebrated literary figure.

    Despite the seriousness of the subject, the movie is sweet and charming; it knows that audiences hate to be preached to and instead shows us--as it shows a Anna--why we should care about being humane.
  3. A perfectly serviceable action movie…better than most, in fact. The entire premise is growing creaky, however, leading us to think we might want to leave this particular spy out in the cold a while, before he becomes completely tiresome.

    There are enough laughs here to fill a five-minute skit but sadly, the film lasts a lot longer than that.

    Regardless, what probably made the show so tolerable and popular was the fact that each episode was under a half an hour long. This movie is about 84 minutes long and gets tiresome after the first 20 minutes or so.

    Director Anthony Giacchino realizes what an engaging tale he’s uncovered, and stays back to let the members tell their story.
  4. No End In Sight is the most important film of the year thus far and, more significantly, the most comprehensive, clear-eyed account of the Iraq debacle and the arrogance behind it that we have.
  5. I generally wince at the thought of a foreign film receiving a Hollywood do-over, but No Reservations satisfactorily Americanizes its German predecessor by taking an originally more serious story and adding to it a lighter, more comedic tone.
  6. It’s funny, it’s smart, and it pokes fun at exactly the things it should (organized religion, big business, and audience itself).

    The sport of golf has seen its fair share of vulgar comedies over the last 30 years or so.
  7. Hairspray isn’t all that bad, frankly. The songs are catchy, most of the leads are engaging enough (Blonksy and Bynes especially), and there’s just enough low-key subversiveness to keep everything from getting too saccharine.
  8. So remarkably free of laughs I might as well have been watching John Wayne Gacy’s home movies.

    Danny Boyle still creates an impressive world, visually rich and yet cold and claustrophobic.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A terrible rehash of better torture genre exploitation, with none of the charm.
    • 64 Metascore

    To their credit, Miller and Buscemi engage the audience’s interest in what is essentially an extended conversation for an extraordinarily long time.
  9. More a celebration of movement and music than a parable for our over-communicative, friend-lite, acquaintance-rich society.
  10. A poignant reminder of why people used to actually listen to their radios.

    A beautiful looking kinetic film that’s always in movement. It’s a bit slow at times and the plot has a tendency to meander, but other than that it’s hard to find fault.
  11. Something of a letdown. Previous statements aside, I understand Warner Bros. has to set the table for "Half-Blood Prince" and "Deathly Hallows," but too much of Phoenix is filler. And with only two movies left, we better get to the main course in short order.

    Even though the story covers familiar ground, it provides enough tension and humor in the presentation to make it worth watching

    In Bale, Herzog has found a talent who transcends the challenges of a brutal shoot. "Rescue" reveals new capabilities for an actor who's already proven himself in other intense and ever-focused performances.
  12. Depending on your expectations for Transformers, rear-ending theaters this July 4th, you’ll either be ecstatic or horrified to learn that the movie hits on all three cylinders in convincing fashion.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It isn’t the worst romantic comedy I have ever seen.
  13. Sicko Is flawed and occasionally stretches to make its point, but the movie's message speaks for itself.
  14. Stunningly animated, cleverly scripted, and genuinely humorous.
  15. Evening”has so much going for it. A great cast, amazing visuals, and solid directing throughout. So why did I leave the film saying aloud to the parking lot, "I didn't like it."
