  • Charlie Bartlett Review
    By: Brian Marder February 22, 2008 4:45am EST
    Much like its title character, Charlie Bartlett just doesn’t fit in with its peer group (teen movies and psychology dramedies). And both the character and movie go to show you that sometimes it’s good--in this case very good--not to fit in.
  • The Hitcher Review
    By: Brian Marder January 19, 2007 11:55am EST
    There’s not a shred of originality to be seen in The Hitcher, but it’s still enough of an assault on two of the five senses to tide you over till the next horror remake.
  • The Pursuit of Happyness Review
    By: Brian Marder December 20, 2006 4:28am EST
    While The Pursuit of Happyness could very easily be subtitled The Pursuit of Sappyness, the terrific father-son dynamic between Will and Jaden Smith is enough to make for an effective tearjerker—barely.
  • Borat Review
    By: Brian Marder November 03, 2006 12:22pm EST
    Sacha Baron Cohen's untreated multiple personality disorder is our gain. Borat is one of the funniest, most original movies in not-so-recent history. But as you'll see, it's not only the comedy that is eye-opening, jaw-dropping and cringe-inducing. In summation: It huge success! High-five! Wa-wa-wee-wa!
  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Review
    By: Shawn Dwyer April 29, 2005 7:17am EST
    Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy fans will admire the striking visual effects, laugh at familiar scenes and leave the theater satisfied, though a little disappointed with the left-out bits. But the inside jokes and loopy antics could throw the general population into a panic--a violation of the Guide's golden rule.
  • Meet the Fockers Review
    By: Kit Bowen January 03, 2005 11:08am EST
    Ben Stiller's younger fans may miss some of the Parents shenanigans, but Meet the Fockers still provides a requisite amount of chuckles without taxing your brain too much.
  • The Whole Ten Yards Review
    By: Guylaine Cadorette April 09, 2004 9:47am EST
    Although stars Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Amanda Peet shine in this sequel, The Whole Ten Yards fails to go the distance and, just like the title's dubious twist on the common expression, no one seems to know what it means.
