MVP (2022) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “As a directorial debut, it's a solid effort. You could do a lot worse than a thoughtful story with a clear point of view and a great, well-acted relationship at its core. But it still could have used another round of edits. ” – ComicBook.com Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Clerks III (2022) 63% 4.5/5 EDIT “The first two Clerks movies had moments of earnestness and heart, but were foul-mouthed comedies with some raunchy moments. Clerks III leans hard into heart, lets the comedy follow that lead, and trusts that the audience will go along . ” – ComicBook.com Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Confess, Fletch (2022) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Confess, Fletch is a film that has all of the pieces it needs to be great, but its short run time and a few baffling creative choices make it feel like it is juggling too many plot threads, too many characters, and too much ambition.” – ComicBook.com Sep 13, 2022 Full Review India Sweets and Spices (2021) 83% 5/5 EDIT “0 COMMENTS One of the smartest, funniest, and most welcoming movies so far in 2021, India Sweets and Spices is a must-see movie stacked with talent.” – ComicBook.com Jul 13, 2021 Full Review Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) 83% 5/5 EDIT “Heartfelt, funny, and full of hope, Bill & Ted Face the Music is easily one of the most entertaining movies of the year. It matures the characters and the franchise in surprising and hilarious ways without losing the appeal of the characters' core.” – ComicBook.com Aug 28, 2020 Full Review Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) 67% 5/5 EDIT “The bar for admission may be a little high⁠ - especially if you haven't seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, a lot of the jokes will miss for you⁠. If you understand what you're watching, you're bound to love it.” – ComicBook.com Oct 16, 2019 Full Review The Banana Splits Movie (2019) 58% 4/5 EDIT “The Banana Splits Movie will be controversial -- especially among those who still have a fondness for the original series -- but it mostly sticks the landing, buoyed by a great cast, script and crew.” – ComicBook.com Aug 15, 2019 Full Review
