The Proposal (review)
Stupid narrow-minded provincial Alaskans? Hilarious! Especially when they’re horny white grandmas appropriating native Inuit culture for their own use! Stupid narrow-minded provincial New Yorkers? That’s our heroine!
romantic comedy
My Life in Ruins (aka Driving Aphrodite) (review)
A steaming pile of stereotypes and sitcomery, a pathetic excuse for a comedy, a romance, and a movie.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (review)
Even trying to think about *Ghosts of Girlfriends Past* from a snarky perspective makes me want to vomit. This is a repulsive movie, way worse than I was expecting…
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People (review)
Why do we love Sidney, even as he is spectacularly unpalatable, contradictory, hypocritcal, a lout, a louse, plagued by poor judgment, and a terrible dresser? Because he’s Simon Pegg.
New in Town (review)
As generic as its title while also yawningly idiotic in its own unique way…
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (review)
Porn: I’m so not a fan of it. For the same reasons I’m so not a fan of most slasher/torture horror movies. Cuz it’s all about body parts, not about people. But *Zack and Miri Make a Porno* is not about body parts: it’s about people.
Mamma Mia! movie review: out of tune
If there’s one thing that’s clear from this revue of ABBA’s hit songs, it’s that there really aren’t all that many great ABBA songs, hits or no.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (review)
It’s really hard to like a character when his own movie makes fun of him.
Enchanted movie review: toon in, toon out
The sweet silliness of the collective Disney animated fairy-tale landscape meets the rough reality of Noo Yawk. Why didn’t someone think of this sooner and pull it off as perfectly as Enchanted does?
Dan in Real Life movie review: knocked down
If you can manage to get through Dan in Real Life without falling madly in love with both Juliette Binoche and Steve Carell, then you’re a better man than I am, Charlie Brown.
