The Wedding Singer (1998) |
Called on to replace some of his Happy Gilmore shtick with the emoting of a romantic lead, he does just that but in an unpersuasive on/off fashion. - Boxoffice Magazine

Happy Feet (2006) |
Happy Feet proves, at least for the first three-fourths of its 108-minute running time, to be just what aficionados of the digital art form have been hoping for: something new and grown-up. - Boxoffice Magazine

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |

Open Season (2006) |
Within its limitations, Open Season could hardly be better, generating real interest and audience sympathy. And the storyline carries built-in intrigue. - Boxoffice Magazine

Paper Dolls (2006) |
Paper Dolls seems something of a cardboard cutout, perhaps because in covering so many of the Dolls one never sees clearly into their various inner lives. - Boxoffice Magazine

Lassie (2005) |
This 11th Lassie big-screen adaptation is a dramatic and at times heartbreaking look inside the uncaring social classifications of that long-ago English era, with the storm clouds of coming world war swirling about. - Boxoffice Magazine

Been Rich All My Life (2006) |

Say Uncle (2005) |
A film that has a lot going for it, including supporting roles by the likes of Kathy Najimy and Melanie Lynskey, Say Uncle -- which lead actor/filmmaker Peter Paige mischaracterizes as a comedy -- nonetheless founders. - Boxoffice Magazine

The Devil's Miner (2005) |
At times it feels as if not cameras but the audience has been transported to the high mountains of Potosi, Bolivia -- and not so much physically but somehow spiritually. - Boxoffice Magazine

Doogal (2006) |
Perhaps the key mistake in this telling is the move of a little boy-ized Doogal (voiced by child actor Daniel Tay, providing far different line readings than those of the grumpy, world-weary Dougal) to a sort of solo forefront. - Boxoffice Magazine

Date Movie (2006) |
The comedy seems to have been more typed than written, in that the point of such parody, which is to (1) borrow characters from other works and then (2) do something funny with them , has pretty much been ignored, at least as far as (2) goes. - Boxoffice Magazine

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005) |

Dirty Love (2005) |

One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern (2005) |
In terms of recapturing the time that was, One Bright Shining Moment is rather effective -- although it feels to be revealing that time from certain distance. - Boxoffice Magazine

Genesis (2004) |

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005) |
[The script] can never decide whether this is supposed to be an over-the-top comedy or a deeply moving drama -- and doesn't do that well at either. - Boxoffice Magazine
