Why Did I Get Married Too?

Not bad for 75% of the time with some good leads and funny moments Tyler Perry’s latest is ultimately weighed down by melodrama, unneeded twists, and a HORRIBLE ending.

How to Train Your Dragon

In the grand tradition of Pixar, this DreamWorks gem has all the heart, humor, and adventure you can handle.

Shutter Island

Another Scorsese classic, it’s not the horror film it was touted as, but that’s OK, because it’s just plain good.

(500) Days of Summer

An interesting and sometimes very clever not-so-romantic comedy from a promising first-time director, it still falls a little flat somewhere along the way.

Dear John

Two appealing leads and a superb performance from Richard Jenkins make this weeper more watchable than I’d expected.

Tooth Fairy

Better than it’s given credit for, this proves that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the best out there right now when it comes to kid flicks.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

Definitely no Oscar contender — and not really even a great kids movie — it’s still worth it if you can see a cheap show because your kids will laugh, even if you’re bored silly.

It's Complicated

Finally, a rom-com that isn’t about hot twentysomethings, wasn’t made by Judd Apatow or one of his followers, and doesn’t talk down to its audience.

Did You Hear About the Morgans?

Hugh Grant is kind of funny, and you won’t have to think too much, but there’s not a whole lot to recommend about this bland, mediocre romantic comedy.

Old Dogs

Not as inherently awful as, say, The Love Guru, Old Dogs still manages to be very, very bad and waste the time of so many talented people.
