92% Knocked Up

35% Rambo
Sylvester Stallone knows how to stage action sequences, however the movie's uneven pacing and excessive violence (even for the franchise) is more nauseating than entertaining.

12% Made of Honor
Sharp performances by Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan can't save this forgettable, formulaic chick flick from its comic failings.
|
|
51% Step Brothers
The relentless immaturity of the humor is not a total handicap for this film, which features the consistently well-matched talents of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.

53% The Hunting Party
The Hunting Party is tonally awkward: its shifts from dark satire to serious political thriller create an uneven film, despite best efforts from its game leads.
|
|
47% Rendition
The impressive cast cannot rescue Rendition, which explores complex issues in woefully simplified terms.
|
|
14% College Road Trip
Filled with shrill gags and middling slapstick, College Road Trip is woefully short on comic imagination.
|
|
14% Mr. Woodcock
Underutilizing a talented cast, Mr. Woodcock lacks the comic energy and timing to make the most of its intriguing premise.
|
|
57% Grace is Gone
A refreshing departure from the current crop of Iraq war dramas, Grace is Gone is a heartfelt, finely acted portrayal of grief and healing.
|
|
96% Pan's Labyrinth
Pan's Labyrinth is Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups, with the horrors of both reality and fantasy blended together into an extraordinary, spellbinding fable. Told through the eyes of a little girl whose imaginary world is inhabited by nightmarish creatures, Pan's Labyrinth is a visually imaginative and allegorical take on the fears she faced in Spain during WWII.
