	"*Playing like an overlong DVD version of one of his earlier, funnier, PG-13 films, Step Brothers* finds Will Ferrell diving into raunchier, coarser terrain.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 25, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	53%
	"*Offering a little bit of everything but not quite enough of any one thing, Get Smart* is a likable jumble of genres that would have benefited from being less ambitious.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
	"*A comedy built around the belief that people speaking in foreign accents is endlessly funny, You Don't Mess With The Zohan* is - how you say? - not good.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%

	"One of the most memorable nights in a teenager's young life is grist for a pretty unmemorable movie in this tame horror entry that follows conventions to the letter." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	8%
	"While not without its funny moments, this labored sequel ups the nudity and gross-out factor while diminishing the sweetness and evident camaraderie of its appealing leads." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	54%
	"A generic, violent underdog story that pays a lot of lip service to non-violence when its characters aren't busy kicking and punching the tar out of each other." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
	"Tabloid curiosity Paris Hilton may be the main draw, but it's doubtful that even her celebrity will do much to raise the prospects of this aggressively moronic comedy." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
	"*Jessica Alba may be easy on the eyes, but a lack of dramatic heft makes her hard on The Eye." -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Eye (2008)	21%
	"*For a would-be frightfest built around a supernatural premise, One Missed Call* is so glum and businesslike that it's not nearly as much pulpy fun as it should be.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	One Missed Call (2008)	0%
	"*The derivative National Treasure: Book of Secrets* is a smooth, lightweight action film for undemanding audiences.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
	"Though stylishly shot and occasionally exciting, this adaptation of the popular video game can only go so far with its mindless violence and cardboard characters." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Hitman (2007)	14%
	"This gruesomely efficient horror sequel shows noticeable wear and tear." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Saw IV (2007)	19%

	"Underdog works best when spoofing superhero conventions, but the film goes to the dogs thanks to a drab story and frequent stabs at heartwarming bromides." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Underdog (2007)	14%
	"*No matter how fast Chris Tucker shoots his mouth or Jackie Chan flashes his fists, they can't recapture the charm of the original Rush Hour* in this third installment.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Rush Hour 3 (2007)	20%
	"This indie-minded effort suggests a filmmaker too enamored by his influences and struggling to establish a cogent vision of his own." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Rocket Science (2007)	84%
	"*Two up-and-coming stars get left at the cinematic altar in License To Wed, a badly strained romantic comedy with enough plot contrivances to fill a reception hall." -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	License To Wed (2007)	8%
	"Evan Almighty is an ungainly melding of religious paean, big-budget studio comedy, feel-good family niceties and summer-blockbuster spectacle." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Evan Almighty (2007)	23%
	"Filmmaker Eli Roth tries to enliven the formula, but this sequel loses the grim surprise of the original without adding much new in terms of plotting or gory set pieces." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Hostel: Part II (2007)	45%
	"An action film about a hyper-violent reality contest that quickly devolves into a monotonous series of hand-to-hand combat scenes." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Condemned (2007)	15%
	"The Hills Have Eyes 2 offers another round of dull, gory fright scenes that neither push the horror envelope nor exhibit any noticeable ingenuity." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)	12%
	"*A disappointment for both Robin Williams and Men In Black* director Barry Sonnenfeld, this vacation-from-hell plotline quickly grows tedious*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	RV (2006)	23%
	"Promoting environmental conservation, this bland family film never generates much interest in either its human or animal participants." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Hoot (2006)	25%
	"*Verging on the preposterous, director Tom Dey's Failure To Launch* relies on attractive stars to overcome its lackluster execution.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Failure to Launch (2006)	26%
	"*Looking to follow the Cheaper By The Dozen* formula to box office success, Yours, Mine & Ours is a tiresome kids comedy that's mostly loud and mean-spirited.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Yours, Mine, & Ours (2005)	5%
	"*Playing out like Remember The Titans* for basketball fans, Glory Road is yet another would-be inspirational true story that follows sports-movie conventions.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Glory Road (2006)	56%
	"*Despite a rich premise, Just Friends* ultimately fails to live up to its early potential, settling into broad comedy that shortchanges the romantic possibilities.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Just Friends (2005)	43%
	"Better than average but not worth phoning home about." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 17, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	21%
	"Expired pretends to be a valentine to society�s outcasts, but it�s just one more indie comedy that mocks its characters while sucking up to its knowing audience." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 26, 2008	Expired (2008)	60%
	"A film that views heterosexual relationships with the sensitivity of a beer commercial." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 5, 2008	Miss Conception (2008)	0%
	"Aside from Vanessa Redgrave, who is quite poignant in a brief, ham-free cameo, the film�s shallow cutesiness quickly starts to feel less like a salute to youthful optimism than a warning against romanticizing one�s stunted emotional development." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 29, 2008	Short Order (2008)	0%
	"Deal is fatally earnest: It honestly believes it�s the first poker film to have a mentor character tell his young prot�g� that success in cards is similar to success in life." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 24, 2008	Deal (2008)	0%
	"*You walk out of Beyond the Call* admiring these humanitarians but not the movie about them -- unless you like films with lots of hugging.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Apr 17, 2008	Beyond the Call (2008)	56%
	"[The] screenwriters have no time for subtlety, assaulting the ear with an arsenal of dull tough-guy dialogue as the male characters take turns mowing down each other�s manhood and delivering hard-boiled pseudoknowledge about the nature of evil." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 10, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
	"The sort of woefully incompetent independent film that evokes either pity or disgust, depending on your level of tolerance." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 3, 2008	Extra Ordinary Barry (2008)	n/a
	"The tagline says it all: 'They can't get there fast enough.'" -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 6, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	14%
C+	"Isn't nearly as fun and frothy as it wants to be." -- EmanuelLevy.Com Posted Mar 2, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	78%
	"Romulus, My Father is a stacked deck determined to make you feel bad, but it rarely makes you feel anything else." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 28, 2008	Romulus, My Father (2008)	44%
	"Though meagerly plotted and devoid of narrative surprise, the micro-budgeted Divine Intervention cuts deeper than your typical Hollywood rom-com because of its willingness to address real problems confronting the African-American community." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 5, 2007	Divine Intervention (2007)	n/a
	"It�s too sincere and thoughtful to be immediately dismissed. But it is terribly frustrating viewing: so much time and creative energy spent making a movie that, in one form or another, the audience has already seen." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 25, 2007	Black Irish (2007)	25%
	"Though a nice change of pace from the usual sports flick�s incessant rah-rah sentimentality, Evans and his film forget that you can�t win too many games if you don�t occasionally swing for the fences." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 11, 2007	The Final Season (2007)	23%
	"This silly little flick is deadly serious. And seriously awful." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 28, 2007	Banished (2007)	n/a
	"Good Luck Chuck is so undistinguished that it feels like an extended screen test." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 25, 2007	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
	"It�s total malarkey, of course, and isn�t helped by Cook�s bizarre inability to act heartbroken or Alba�s ill-advised confidence in her gift for slapstick." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 21, 2007	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
	"Lacking so much as one interesting creative flourish, Moving McAllister may inspire your inner-development exec to scream out script notes in the hope that somehow, maybe, the characters will hear you and give them a try." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 13, 2007	Moving McAllister (2007)	10%
	"Ladr�n�s earnest tone works against the film�s hoped-for irreverent stance, and Menendez�s slack pacing undercuts the project�s attempt to offer a viable alternative to Hollywood fare." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 30, 2007	Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007)	62%
	"There are occasionally mildly trenchant observations made about social status and racism, but overall this fixer-upper has very little curb appeal." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 23, 2007	Closing Escrow (2007)	54%
	"There�s no point being highbrow about a film that relies on the typical fart-puke-nuts-kaboom brand of family comedy, but [director] Savage�s lethargic, impersonal approach can�t even make Camp�s gross-out moments appropriately revolting." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 9, 2007	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	1%
	"Adapting his own novel, [director] Davlin seems blessedly unaware of how silly his story is, attacking it with such escalating melodramatic fervor that Memory rises from the disastrously campy to the bizarrely hypnotic." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 22, 2007	Memory (2007)	8%
