78% The Hangover

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

With a clever script and hilarious interplay among the cast, The Hangover nails just the right tone of raunchy humor, and the non-stop laughs overshadow any flaw.

56% 17 Again

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

Though it uses a well-worn formula, 17 Again has just enough Zac Efron charm to result in a harmless, pleasurable teen comedy.

55% The Soloist

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

Though it features strong performances by its lead players, a lack of narrative focus prevents The Soloist from hitting its mark.

50% The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

Despite a strong cast, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 suffers under the excesses of Tony Scott's frantic direction, and fails to measure up to the 1974 original.

48% My Sister's Keeper

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

44% Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian is busy enough to keep the kids interested but the slapstick goes overboard and the special effects (however well executed) throw the production into mania.

37% Angels & Demons

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

The third Ice Age film has some excellent animation, but its story is tired and monotonous.

32% Terminator Salvation

32% Knowing

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

Knowing has some interesting ideas and a couple good scenes, but it's weighted down by its absurd plot and over-seriousness.

28% Land of the Lost

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

Only loosely based on the original TV series, Land of the Lost is decidedly less kid-friendly and feels more like a series of inconsistent sketches than a cohesive adventure comedy.

28% Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT

A retread of A Christmas Carol, featuring Matthew McConaughey in a retread of his Dazed and Confused role, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past lacks originality, humor, and any semblance of charm.

27% Dance Flick

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:05:04 PDT
