Very Good 95 Points 2009

This spurned love story succeeds by being insistently charming and more than occasionally funny. Cleverly conceived, crisply executed and charismatically performed, (500) Days of Summer is a small joy of a movie. Plus you’ve got to love the terrific dance number that brightens up the middle ree…

50 First Dates
Good 15 Points 2004

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore reunite for this comedy about a women who loses her memory very night, and the man determined to win here heart. Cute, but forgettable (no joke intended there) standard Sandler fare with the same cameos from all the other Happy Madison Productions.

Really Great 93 Points 2009

Terrific coming of age romantic-comedy, mildly raunchy and plenty knowing. Not tremendously LOL though studded with laughs, many from killer funny throwaway lines. Plus it’s a well crafted, well developed story about a set of characters who become more interesting as the movie progresses.

Allied
Great 83 Points 2016

Casablanca it’s not, but Allied is a damn good romantic thriller set in WWII Casablanca, or at least initially set there. Most of the movie then takes place in London during the blitz, with Brad Pitt’s proto-007 thrust into domestic espionage against his wife, played by Marion Cotillard. It’s…

And So It Goes
Very Good 66 Points 2014

And So It Goes goes very well as a date night destination, especially for those of us who have received AARP junk mail. It’s a RomCom for the ages, the golden ages, which start pretty early these days.

Diane Keaton & Michael Douglas are perfectly cast in this classic Rob Reiner RomCom. It’s …

Annie Hall
Great 66 Points 1977

It hasn’t aged well, this Seventies icon. Maybe because Woody Allen self-parodied himself in real life, or Left Wing Manhattan neurotics are no longer exotic characters, or topical gags don’t have much shelf life. “La-dee-da, la-dee-da.” Sure it’s still a benchmark movie. The Academy doesn’t …

Baby Driver
Great 83 Points 2017

Choreography comes to car chases in Baby Driver. British director Edgar Wright’s benchmark blockbuster presents like Tarantino set to music. Nowhere to Run, Radar Love and Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up lead the 60s & 70s chestnuts that impart old-school cool into this new-school movie. Star…

Beautiful Girls
Great 66 Points 1996

Beautiful Girls & Butthead Guys should be this movie’s full title. Emotionally stunted and beer powered, the guys of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts haven’t changed much since High School, notwithstanding the random wife, another guy’s wife and the girls they can’t bring themselves to commit to. …

Before Sunrise
Perfect 66 Points 1995

A perfect romance for the highly verbal. After meeting on a train, the cynical American guy and the tartly romantic French gal talk and talk. By turns delirious, impudent and philosophical, their conversation turns a one night stand into more of a one-night-talk.

The story concludes in "Befo…
