Morning Glory
Good 71 Points 2010

Morning TV seduces Rachel McAdams’ plucky heroine more than a McDreamy boyfriend in this love letter to the bright lights of mainstream media. Good thing, since some well crafted career comedy makes Morning Glory reasonably entertaining to men, even if its target audience is aspiring women loo…

Good 66 Points 2013

The Legend Continues and so do the laughs. Unfortunately so do the gaffes, which way outnumber the LOLs, driving the gaffe-to-laugh ratio well above 1. That’s far from great, even if some of the bits are truly great. Yes, you’ll laugh YAO early & often enough, so one can say The Legend C…

Good 66 Points 2001

Edward Burns attracted an attractive cast to Sidewalks of New York, then opened his RomCom with each telling where their character first had sex. Rosario Dawson, then Ed Burns, David Krumholtz, Brittany Murphy, Stanley Tucci and finally Heather Graham. IOW, what we have here is a starfucker’s…

Genre-movie meets Hollywood in writer-director George Huang’s Swimming with Sharks. Kevin Spacey stars as a psychotic Hollywood asshole, the studio exec from hell, kind of Spacey’s original Horrible Boss.

OK 66 Points 2011

The legendary chef behind a Michelin Three Star sushi restaurant gets profiled in Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Indeed, Jiro Ono does dream of sushi, and has for most of his 85 years.

Unfortunately his BioDoc is too subtle for its own good, even given its zen subject. It also focuses as much on Ji…

Big Night
OK 71 Points 1996

Delectable dishes and a beloved cast can’t rescue Stanley Tucci’s passion project. It’s hardly a bad movie, just a bit slow and stilted. Some miscasting and more than a little waiting around are mostly to blame.

That said, entrepreneurs of all stripes can benefit from seeing Big Night, a cas…

Daddy's Home
Barely OK 83 Points 2015

More cringe-worthy than laugh inducing, Daddy’s Home is barely worth passing the time on a long flight.

Bottom-line: one LOL and some grins aren’t enough to rescue this mean-spirited Will Ferrell comedy.
