Ghetto (2002) 81% EDIT “Despite the film's shortcomings, the stories are quietly moving.” – Washington Post Jan 29, 2019 Full Review The Best Man (1999) 71% EDIT “Ultimately when it's all said and done, Best Man remains always a groomsman, never a groom: It backs down on its promise to both challenge and entertain, opting instead for the easy laugh--and the pat ending.” – Washington Post Nov 14, 2013 Full Review The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) 66% EDIT “This is pure, escapist fun -- skepticism and naysaying are best left at home.” – Washington Post Aug 6, 2008 Full Review Desert Bayou (2007) 78% EDIT “Desert Bayou is at its most compelling when it stops preachifying and focuses on the lives of two troubled families.” – Washington Post Oct 25, 2007 Full Review Bratz (2007) 10% EDIT “It's earnest, silly and sweet, with just enough food fights and musical numbers to keep everyone else from gagging on the goo.” – Washington Post Aug 2, 2007 Full Review The Hip Hop Project (2006) 58% EDIT “There's not enough story to the story, which is curious, given that rap is ultimately a tale-telling medium.” – Washington Post May 10, 2007 Full Review The Italian (2005) 91% EDIT “At times, the difficulties that Vanya encounters strain credulity. The Italian doesn't bother to infuse its characters with complex motivations. They're either Bad or Good.” – Washington Post Apr 27, 2007 Full Review Idlewild (2006) 47% EDIT “For all its shortcomings, Idlewild also has something that few films can pull off: Moments of such pure cinematic fabulousness, breathtaking dance sequences and idiosyncratic flourishes that we are more than willing to forgive it for all its sins.” – Washington Post Aug 24, 2006 Full Review Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) 72% EDIT “Talladega Nights doesn't do much more than go for the quick guffaw, and frequently the guffaw comes from stereotypical slights along the redneck vein.” – Washington Post Aug 3, 2006 Full Review Waist Deep (2006) 28% EDIT “No, it's not a great movie. It is, however, an interesting one, a combination of exploitative hood flick and meditation on trust and love -- thug love, romantic love and, most important, parent-child love.” – Washington Post Jun 22, 2006 Full Review Friends With Money (2006) 72% EDIT “You could make an argument that that's how life is, unresolved, but as a film, it makes for frustrating viewing, particularly when plot threads with the potential to bust open the story are left hanging.” – Washington Post Apr 20, 2006 Full Review Slither (2006) 87% EDIT “Slither isn't scary, it's just what one character says when she spots the slugs from outer space, Grooooosss. And we don't mean that in a good way.” – Washington Post Mar 30, 2006 Full Review ATL (2006) 63% EDIT “Notwithstanding the melodrama and the often ham-handed directing, ATL somehow works.” – Washington Post Mar 30, 2006 Full Review Find Me Guilty (2006) 63% EDIT “Diesel infuses the Lucchese family made man with a convincing cocktail of sweetness and rage.” – Washington Post Mar 16, 2006 Full Review The War Within (2005) 71% EDIT “Call it a portrait of a mild-mannered zealot, one that seeps under the skin and unsettles the nerves.” – Washington Post Oct 14, 2005 Full Review Tony Takitani (2004) 88% EDIT “It's a marvelously moody meditation, beautiful to look at and beautiful to ponder as the camera slowly pans from one scene to the next, framing life as still life.” – Washington Post Oct 13, 2005 Full Review Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005) 85% EDIT “Based on a Russian folk tale, Corpse Bride makes for breathtaking viewing.” – Washington Post Sep 23, 2005 Full Review Roll Bounce (2005) 66% EDIT “The film can't get its rhythms right, fluctuating wildly between comedy and pathos.” – Washington Post Sep 23, 2005 Full Review Underclassman (2005) 6% EDIT “If you saw 21 Jump Street back in the '80s, or any of a number of shows featuring cute and cuddly cops, you pretty much know where this flick is heading.” – Washington Post Sep 1, 2005 Full Review The Cave (2005) 12% EDIT “The Cave isn't just a bad movie, it's a very, very, very bad movie, so bad that it can't even redeem itself by turning into high camp.” – Washington Post Aug 26, 2005 Full Review The Little Chinese Seamstress (2002) 77% EDIT “Visually, Balzac is a jewel of a movie, with panoramic vistas of the lake on the mountain, framed in mist, where the villagers, in a haunting nighttime ceremony, float candlelit paper boats bearing the names of their dearly departed.” – Washington Post Aug 12, 2005 Full Review The Honeymooners (2005) 13% EDIT “Blame it all on the Bad Guys, those Hollywood suits who think by committee and never met a focus group they didn't like. This is product, pure and simple.” – Washington Post Jun 10, 2005 Full Review The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) 61% EDIT “Although Hitchhiker starts out a total gas, it doesn't have enough fuel to sustain the ride, ultimately amounting to little more than some amusing gags strung together in search of a story.” – Washington Post Apr 29, 2005 Full Review Inside I'm Dancing (2004) 49% EDIT “For all its noble intentions and vigorous performances, never transcends the claustrophobic character study.” – Washington Post Feb 18, 2005 Full Review Bride & Prejudice (2004) 63% EDIT “A big, sprawling, sweet-natured mishmash with plots upon subplots and enough characters to make the head spin.” – Washington Post Feb 11, 2005 Full Review
