The Reaping (2007) 7% 1.5/4 EDIT “The Reaping isn't completely terrible. It just majorly overreaches.” – Premiere Magazine Apr 4, 2007 Full Review Wild Hogs (2007) 14% 2/4 EDIT “Throughout the film, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, et al don't seem to be bonding so much as acting at each other.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Night at the Museum (2006) 42% 2.5/4 EDIT “After a slow start, this feel-good family film is a nice postcard from the Big Apple that may benefit New York and the Museum of Natural History as much as it does 20th Century Fox.” – Premiere Magazine Dec 20, 2006 Full Review Flushed Away (2006) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “Though Flushed Away certainly aims to please viewers of all ages, it's the anglophiles of all ages who are going to get the most out of the film.” – Premiere Magazine Nov 3, 2006 Full Review De-Lovely (2004) 49% 2.5/4 EDIT “The musical interludes, albeit entertaining, yank the viewer out of the early 20th century. Had the film stayed in its own time, it would have been more de-lovely.” – Premiere Magazine Jun 30, 2004 Full Review Raising Helen (2004) 25% 2/4 EDIT “A mediocre film at best, but Hudson and the rest of the cast help raise the bar to make it a bit more palatable.” – Premiere Magazine May 28, 2004 Full Review The Girl Next Door (2004) 56% 2.5/4 EDIT “With a more focused plotline, The Girl Next Door might have surpassed its genre. Still, as far as teen sex films go, this one scores.” – Premiere Magazine Apr 13, 2004 Full Review The Prince & Me (2004) 28% 2/4 EDIT “. . . feels more practical than whimsical, more politically correct than sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic.” – Premiere Magazine Apr 5, 2004 Full Review Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) 13% 1/4 EDIT “Harmless fare, but as bland as an unsalted water cracker.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 16, 2004 Full Review Eurotrip (2004) 47% 1.5/4 EDIT “The premise of the film is serviceable, but the execution is flawed and entirely underwhelming.” – Premiere Magazine Feb 24, 2004 Full Review Disney's Teacher's Pet (2004) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “While Teacher's Pet lacks big-budget majesty, it has humor and heart.” – Premiere Magazine Jan 20, 2004 Full Review Gothika (2003) 15% 2/4 EDIT “Deserves credit for embracing the ghost story genre so whole-heartedly, but as any ten-year-old girl can tell you, there's nothing original here to see.” – Premiere Magazine Dec 2, 2003 Full Review Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) 62% 2/4 EDIT “The clear and simple plot is bogged down by too many characters and too many clichs.” – Premiere Magazine Oct 22, 2003 Full Review Girls Will Be Girls (2003) 59% 1.5/4 EDIT “Even the acerbic wit slowly eats away at the story line until, at the end of the 82 minutes, there is little left but an acid-washed Lifetime movie.” – Premiere Magazine Oct 22, 2003 Full Review Cold Creek Manor (2003) 12% 1.5/4 EDIT “It is difficult to say anything about the plot without giving away the ending, simply because the ending is apparent within the first half hour of the movie.” – Premiere Magazine Sep 19, 2003 Full Review The Fighting Temptations (2003) 42% 2.5/4 EDIT “The cast is endearing, and despite a ridiculously contrived story line, the film plays like a happily toe-tapping song.” – Premiere Magazine Sep 19, 2003 Full Review Uptown Girls (2003) 14% 2/4 EDIT “While the movie hits on a bunch of emotional topics, the dialogue veers into the mawkish far more than necessary.” – Premiere Magazine Aug 27, 2003 Full Review Gigli (2003) 6% 0/4 EDIT “Gigli rhymes with "really." As in "really bad," or "really offensive," or "really wish I'd remembered my gun so I could just shoot myself now and end the misery."” – Premiere Magazine Aug 1, 2003 Full Review On-Line (2001) 38% 2.5/4 EDIT “At its heart, On_Line is just an old-fashioned movie about people, relationships and making connections in an isolated world. And in this sense, the movie is very successful.” – Premiere Magazine Jul 1, 2003 Full Review Alex & Emma (2003) 11% 2/4 EDIT “” – Premiere Magazine Jun 24, 2003 Full Review Rugrats Go Wild (2003) 39% 2/4 EDIT “Television-loving children will scream for Rugrats Go Wild!, and in this case, their parents can go ahead and let them-they won't be missing much.” – Premiere Magazine Jun 23, 2003 Full Review Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003) 10% 1.5/4 EDIT “The easiest way to write a review of Dumb and Dumberer might be to say that it lives up to its title.” – Premiere Magazine Jun 23, 2003 Full Review The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003) 40% 3/4 EDIT “Duff is a charming heroine who carries the movie cheerfully, if not gracefully-the pratfalls come early and often.” – Premiere Magazine May 6, 2003 Full Review View From the Top (2003) 13% 2/4 EDIT “Though it does not exactly have wings, View from the Top might be worth a viewing -- particularly when it's next to Sweet Home Alabama on the video rack.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 25, 2003 Full Review Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2002) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Informative, compelling, and music to the ears.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 4, 2003 Full Review
