Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return (2014) 17% D EDIT “Problems abound from the rushed beginning all the way through the impossibly resolved ending.” – AV Club May 14, 2014 Full Review Rio 2 (2014) 50% C EDIT “Despite the attempts at broadening the secondary ideological themes, this is another familiar father-in-crisis tale, dotted with musical interludes for Chenoweth and Clement, and dressed in brighter plumage.” – AV Club Apr 10, 2014 Full Review Island of Lemurs: Madagascar (2014) 81% C EDIT “Part sumptuous IMAX documentary, part fervent but dull conservationist pitch, Island Of Lemurs seems destined instead for an obscurity all too familiar to nature films not released by Disneynature.” – AV Club Apr 3, 2014 Full Review Divergent (2014) 41% B- EDIT “The significance of certain deaths hangs entirely on Woodley's performance. She's mostly up to the task ...” – AV Club Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) 81% C+ EDIT “Unlike the whimsical, slapstick-driven shorts on which it's based, this feature-length adaptation adds an obligatory emotional arc that feels at odds with the zany spirit of historical time-travel tales.” – AV Club Mar 6, 2014 Full Review The LEGO Movie (2014) 96% B+ EDIT “Miller and Lord have gone far beyond the call of duty. Their Lego Movie is effervescent in style, conveying a substantive message without ever devolving into saccharine preachiness.” – AV Club Feb 6, 2014 Full Review That Awkward Moment (2014) 23% C+ EDIT “Tom Gormican's debut yearns to stand out as a benchmark for what dating is like at this moment in time, all the while working with the same basic toolkit as every other film in the genre.” – AV Club Jan 30, 2014 Full Review The Nut Job (2014) 13% F EDIT “Every beat of the story is a watered-down, jokeless version of previous children's films ... The Nut Job seems designed to trick misinformed parents into plopping down money to occupy their children for just over an hour.” – AV Club Jan 16, 2014 Full Review Justin Bieber's Believe (2013) 53% D+ EDIT “When it strays from the glitzy pyrotechnics of a Miami concert, it descends into another manipulative PR stunt.” – AV Club Dec 27, 2013 Full Review Frozen (2013) 89% B EDIT “Most importantly, this is a long-needed step in the right direction to a more varied depiction of female characters in Disney's canon.” – AV Club Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Free Birds (2013) 20% C- EDIT “A film that was probably close to completion before anyone involved realized they were portraying a fight between turkeys and English settlers as the largest conflict in the European colonization of North America.” – AV Club Oct 31, 2013 Full Review Treasure Island (2012) 56% C- EDIT “Settles into boredom quickly, meandering at a glacial pace through mutinous developments and character shifts that could have used a punch-up at the script level.” – AV Club Aug 14, 2013 Full Review The Smurfs 2 (2013) 14% D+ EDIT “Smurfs 2 is at least slightly superior to the absolutely dire first film, but it remains a series for kids whose parents can't just pop in a DVD of something better.” – AV Club Jul 31, 2013 Full Review
