16% The Tooth Fairy (2010) " A serendipitous combination of star (Dwayne Johnson), material and director (Michael Lembeck), this tale of an arrogant hockey player, forced to serve time in wings and a pastel-colored tutu, scores a goal for kids and adults alike." — Variety

43% Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) " Bigger, longer, and even more chaotically crowded (more stars! more f/x!) than its predecessor, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian proves that adding another ring doesn't make for a better circus." — Variety
Posted May 20, 2009
9% My Life in Ruins (Driving Aphrodite) (2009) " It's not that this premise is so altogether improbable -- what tourist hasn't bonded with strangers while sharing close quarters in a foreign land? -- but that it feels tired from the start." — Variety
