A film that says all the right things while tackling tough subjects. It’s hard not to respect its message of love and equality. Despite all this, The Help plays it too safe.

[Sizemore’s] performance can best be summed up as Al Pacino by way of Moe from The Three Stooges.

An odd film with little story, Headin’ Home has a big place in sports history, offering an early look at Babe Ruth.
Zhang weaves a complex and interesting story but the ultimate strength of Hero is its poetic beauty.
The film is sweet and innocent, just as one might expect. While not horrible, I can’t heap praise on it either.
Like the burnouts who stick longer than their leather jackets warrant, the shtick has gotten stale.
Pop fluff intended for kids stuck between Dora the Explorer and Gossip Girl. Consider it a bonus that it’s tolerable, if not fun, for the rest of us as well.
Horton started as a book, less that 40 pages long. To make it a feature seems just a little bit wrong. The magic of Seuss isn’t quite there. It’s got the look but it’s missing some flair.
It’s light and fluffy fun that’s largely harmless. In 20 years there’s also going to be a lot of parents explaining to their children that yes, “Mommy and Daddy did dress like that.”
