Nowhere near as funny as you’d expect with its stellar cast.

No matter how good Blethyn is at playing up the sweet hurt of a woman who is well on the decline but never made it in the first place, your admiration for her shrieking-and-drinking breakdown scenes is likely to be tested after about the fifth go-round.

There is much more of an emphasis on action in this nicely crafted, fast-paced sequel, which at its best shares the antic qualities of classic Warner Bros. cartoons.

A pleasingly weird, dryly funny little indie.

The timeless classic, a groundbreaking achievement for animation, has been turned into another pointless and awkward live-action automaton that vanishes from your mind the second it’s over.

Basically a Lifetime movie that somehow found its way into theaters.

Skip it, and rent "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" instead.

"Schindler's List" it ain't, and the whole is rendered occasionally surreal by Janusz Stoklosa's laughably heavy-handed score.

A miracle of indie filmmaking. Shot for practically nothing by first-time director David Barker, it delivers more bang for its minimal bucks than many a Hollywood blockbuster does for its multimillions.

This is Ebiri's first feature after directing four shorts. He shows talent, but shouldn't give up his day job just yet.

De Niro gives a technically brilliant performance as Walt, struggling with a body that will no longer obey him.

It's a worthy idea, but the uninspired scripts, acting and direction never rise above the level of an after-school TV special.

There are some bright one-liners in the beginning, but the comedy/drama mix is an uneasy one, especially considering the shabby way the film treats McKenna, as a tart who’s just there to improve some yuppie sex lives.

The treacly trifle is just more of the same Hallmark-inspired Christmas white noise for people who defend these terrible, sappy movies as chicken soup for the couch potato’s soul.

Lee may not want to let anyone in, but it’s hard to engage fully with a film that doesn’t seem to want to, either.

Though quite watchable thanks to its cast, the overly ambitious Don McKay ends up as confused as its main female character.

Seeing this great actress, age 84, draw real feeling and laughs from such mediocre material is worth the watch.

Even the most extreme punishments are softened by hilariously neurotic dialogue. Vive la Delpy!

A terribly funny sendup of the show that famously gave us “Waterloo” by ABBA in 1974, and now gives us a year’s supply of crazy. The Netflix film is the most enjoyable music industry parody since Christopher Guest’s folk satire “A Mighty Wind.”

Possibly the most unintentionally hilarious film since Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space," Steve Irwin's big-screen debut is destined to become an instant cult classic.

An Amsterdam mess.

Duplex, a shoddily constructed and alarmingly unfunny dark comedy that squanders the talents of Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore, is one real-estate deal you should walk away from.

Engaging, if sometimes obvious.

An outrageous horror flick.

Ultimately, all signs point to Going in Style having been overcooked by too many chefs: You know you’re in trouble when multiple scenes in the trailer never show up in the final product.

So strenuously inoffensive it makes Disney's "High School Musical" look almost racy by comparison.

Suspenseful though it is, the movie is quiet to the point of being sleepy, and Worthington is simply not working out as a screen star.

Another project whose narrative gets swallowed by its design.
