Stolen ChildhoodsCritic ScoreAkiva Gottlieb
70
So well-intentioned it almost renders critical examination frivolous.
King of the CornerCritic ScoreAkiva Gottlieb
50
An average film starring an average character actor, but maybe that's the point. This is a story about the benefits of just showing up. Even at its most sentimental, Riegert's pet project possesses a lived-in integrity that nearly offsets the staleness of the material.
ValiantCritic ScoreAkiva Gottlieb
50
The main problem with this Disney release--which also wastes the voices of Ricky Gervais and Jim Broadbent--is its refusal to recognize the war as anything but an excuse for tomfoolery.
Formula 17Critic ScoreAkiva Gottlieb
50
It might be, empirically speaking, the gayest movie ever released.
CampfireCritic ScoreAkiva Gottlieb
50
The timelier elements of Campfire, which cleared house at Israel's Academy Awards this year, are too salient to dismiss.
The Comedians of ComedyCritic ScoreAkiva Gottlieb
50
Only works when the subjects are onstage. Watching the quartet doing laundry, playing arcade games, or getting haircuts evokes the banality of road life far too accurately, and at 105 minutes, the film hardly leaves us wanting more.
The RingerCritic ScoreAkiva Gottlieb
40
An uncomfortable intermingling of message movie and gross-out comedy, a sporadically funny vehicle that indicts its audience for laughing.
