2/4	"Dupree sustains its groove for the most part, and in this summer of bloated spectaculars, it feels tight. It may be silly, but it�s a pleasant enough diversion." Posted Jul 14, 2006	You, Me and Dupree (2006)	22%
3/4	"Jared Hess has made another sweet PG-rated movie populated with determined oddballs in surreally timeless settings. " Posted Jun 16, 2006	Nacho Libre (2006)	38%
2/4	"While the situations are real and the dialogue is authentic, "The Break-Up" is mundane and trite." Posted Jun 2, 2006	The Break-Up (2006)	34%
2/4	"More than a novelty and it's occasionally mesmerizing, but without the affectation of dialogue, it hardly rises above after-school special." Posted Jun 1, 2006	Brick (2006)	78%
2/4	"Parents forced by unruly ankle-biters to spend an afternoon at the multiplex could do worse than Ice Age: The Meltdown (Valiant, anyone?). But if kids could be persuaded to wait a few months for the DVD, it wouldn�t be the end of the world." Posted Mar 31, 2006	Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)	56%

3/4	"This is not a mainstream film. It�s an impressionistic, minimalist anti-movie that attempts to discover an existential truth by showing next to nothing." Posted Aug 12, 2005	Last Days (2005)	60%
0/4	"Good for Schneider that he was able to bilk a major Hollywood studio out of an estimated $20 million to make this reeking bucket of sewage. Bad for anyone who has the misfortune of seeing it." Posted Aug 12, 2005	Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)	11%

2/4	"A human rubber band, a transparent woman, a guy on fire, a walking rock pile, and a guy named Doom seem perfectly plausible in the funny books.On the big screen, not so much." Posted Jul 8, 2005	Fantastic Four (2005)	26%
1/4	"Instead of smart commentary on the state of entertainment, we're given a mundane, risk-averse romantic comedy." Posted Jun 28, 2005	Bewitched (2005)	25%
1/4	"Never rises above the level of a Friday night network sitcom." Posted Jun 10, 2005	Honeymooners (2005)	14%
