" Images of a thrusting male pelvis haunt the sensitive critic yet." -- Financial Times

You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)34%

" The types are such extremes that the partisans in the audience will continue to hate American brats and English snobs respectively, rapprochement between two sets of caricatures seeming unlikely." -- Financial Times

Wild Child (2009)32%

" what Star Wars: The Clone Wars serves up is a rehashed Thunderbirds with a dash of Japanese anime." -- Financial Times

" American Lee Pace, from TV’s Pushing Daisies, manages not one but several creditable English accents, sometimes unfortunately all in the same sentence, but whose emotional depth shows up this ball of fluff as insubstantial. Forgettable." -- Financial Times

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)77%

" The film’s final unforgivable fault is its sheer, plodding dullness." -- Financial Times

" Not so much shapelessness as unvaried pace and emotional monotony spoil the engaging Small Engine Repair." -- Financial Times

Small Engine Repair (2006)86%

" Too shapeless and unplotted; and Mangan’s not-too-ruffled rueful affability hails more from sitcom land." -- Financial Times

" Pegg exudes his usual air of faint self-congratulation playing an unlikeable prat whom nobody in their right mind would prefer to the high- flying Azariah or indeed to anyone." -- Financial Times

Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)48%

" The ingredients of the German original Mostly Martha this time produce a cliché Chinese dish, forgotten a mere five minutes later." -- Financial Times

" Lurches on too long and topples into bathos." -- Financial Times

Death Sentence (2007)19%

" It all rather sidesteps the question of why reluctant manager Samuel L. Jackson fails to demand a written disclaimer from a guest insisting on a room that has seen 56 deaths, including drowning in chicken soup." -- Financial Times

" Inertly plotted, haltingly paced, further embarrassed by Bob Hoskins in shyly lovesick mode, this broken-backed mess is fitfully illuminated by Anthony Head in a camp turn and the American Stockard Channing, her style as immaculate as her English accent." -- Financial Times

Sparkle (2007)78%
