They Call Me Dr. Miami (2020) |
It's the sort of show I'd be interested in watching for a half-hour, not 78 minutes, and it's less about the world of plastic surgery and more about the man wielding the scalpel. - The Muse/Jezebel

Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Musical! (2020) |
What was most striking about the experience is that watching the show felt like the familiar slog of watching an awards show -- frequent commercial breaks that were a relief instead of a nuisance, time moving both faster and slower than it should. - The Muse/Jezebel

The King of Staten Island (2020) |
It's as if Davidson is merely playing another version of himself, incapable of stretching beyond the bounds of his own personality and his own life-not necessarily his fault, but definitely the fault of the material. - The Muse/Jezebel

The Lovebirds (2020) |
It's a fun, light-hearted romp that dispenses with much of the romance in favor of a larger, more pressing event. - The Muse/Jezebel

Tigertail (2020) |
Truthfully, Tigertail is Pin-Jui's story through and through, and the film would've benefitted from tightening its focus... - The Muse/Jezebel

Pete Davidson: Alive From New York (2020) |
A tight 49-minute show that lacks the tick-tock rhythm of a comedy special and feels more like a therapeutic happy hour. - The Muse/Jezebel

To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020) |
The sequel fails to capture the giddy magic of the first, in part because the success of the first was so astronomical. - The Muse/Jezebel

The Farewell (2019) |
There are moments of recognition in some of the even more infuriating scenes that made me laugh through reluctant tears. - The Muse/Jezebel

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991) |
If we look at the details, this movie is actually pretty good. - The Muse/Jezebel

Always Be My Maybe (2019) |
As the newest entry to the rom-com genre, it succeeds not solely because of its representation: Always Be My Maybe is a sparkling, charming rom-com. - The Muse/Jezebel

Booksmart (2019) |
While it's not clear how long these girls have been friends, what shines on the screen is their chemistry-Feldstein is a remarkable actor. - The Muse/Jezebel

Aladdin (2019) |
There's a specific energy and verve Williams's voice acting carried that Smith, sadly, lacks. - The Muse/Jezebel

Baby Boom (1987) |
It is a startlingly prescient look at the anxieties of motherhood. - The Muse/Jezebel

Crazy Rich Asians (2018) |
Crazy Rich Asians is a romantic comedy giddy off its own supply -- the answer to the question of what a romantic comedy would look like if it were shot like an action film. - The Muse/Jezebel

Tag (2018) |
The entire time, you're wondering when someone will just become "it" so you can go home. - The Muse/Jezebel

Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife (2018) |
Motherhood itself isn't a political act, but the various ways facets of society rise up to tell women how to be a mother are, certainly. The beauty of Hard Knock Wife is in hearing these gnarlier truths explored with filthy and honest verve. - The Muse/Jezebel

Blockers (2018) |
Parents scared of their own irrelevancy in the face of their children growing up is a tale as old as time. We know the kids are alright, but maybe once it'd be nice to show how that came to be. - The Muse/Jezebel

Bridget Jones's Baby (2016) |
Nothing about the film itself led me to believe that I would enjoy myself. Against all reason, I did. - The Muse/Jezebel

A Wrinkle in Time (2018) |
The movie is thematically broad yet uneven, visually stunning at times, and most of all presents a clear-cut message of acceptance, love, and empowerment that will certainly resonate with its intended audience: young girls at their most vulnerable age. - The Muse/Jezebel

I Feel Pretty (2018) |
The message isn't bad in theory (love yourself and you can do anything), but it's crammed into a messy, retrograde plot that does a disservice to any nibble of authenticity one might be able to find. - The Muse/Jezebel

Tully (2018) |
While Mary Poppins's magic is of the wholesome Disney variety... it's not that different, conceptually, from Tully's effect. - The Muse/Jezebel
