Aside from a couple of chortle-worthy moments, this lifeless Tyneside dull-fest scores one own-goal too many.
Romance
Le Divorce
A polished piece of film-making, and a welcome antidote to the less subtle portrayals of the Franco-American relations found currently in the world media. A bit inconsequential, though…
Life or Something Like It
Cheerful but predictable comedy romance that successfully fills a couple of hours but makes little impact.
Finding North
A surprisingly warm and at times funny tale of two unusual yet believable friends. Nice to watch.
Mr Deeds
This film fails to generate more than a few giggles, and it isnt a patch on the Capra original.
Groundhog Day
A touching, thoughtful and above all funny comedy. A real classic, featuring Bill Murray at his very best.
