Obvious Child movie review: it doesn’t care if you like it
Beautifully redresses how the realities of women’s lives are too often ignored on film… and does so with startling raw power and humor.

Mood Indigo movie review: mood disrupted
Delightfully bonkers stop-motion vacuumpunk madness comes to an abrupt halt in this mysteriously truncated version of Michel Gondry’s latest romantic whimsy.
Guardians of the Galaxy movie review: empty space
Just another rote space adventure. It’s not actively awful, but there isn’t a single damn thing in the least bit surprising or memorable about it.
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared movie review: yes, that’s what he does
An absurdist mock epic that is hilarious, outrageous, and completely insane. It’s like a bonkers Swedish Forrest Gump.
Tammy movie review: women behaving badly
Dumb, pointless, unentertaining crap. But at least it’s about women. Yay? Nah.
They Came Together movie rating: green light
It’s not as raunchy as the title suggests, but Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler pull off a hilarious sendup of every rom-com cliché with only a few (easily forgivable) missteps. I laughed a lot.
A Perfect Plan movie review: dumb and dumber
With rom-coms like this, who needs warcrimes? This is the most cruel, most contrived romantic comedy I have ever had the displeasure to endure.
22 Jump Street movie review: an advanced course in the sequel
Funnier even than the first film, nonstop self-deprecation that doles out well-deserved smacks to about 817 Hollywood things that desperately deserve it.
A Million Ways to Die in the West movie review: “nice guys” need to shut up
Director, producer, writer, and star Seth MacFarlane laments the epic romantic tragedy of Seth MacFarlane, who deserves a beautiful girlfriend because he’s “nice.”
Blended movie review: smug addiction
Adam Sandler goes to Africa, via the tampon aisle, and assumes you’ll agree with him that racism and sexism are family values worth celebrating.
