If Dinner for Schmucks were actually a dinner, I’d say the first course and the dessert were quite satisfying but the entrée left a lot to be desired. The meal, I mean movie, starts with an amuse-bouche of a scene – someone carefully creating romantic scenes using gussied up dead mice. Turns out the person …

Despicable Me was delightful to me… and to the child and other adult I had in tow when I went to see it. We all experienced laugh out loud moments throughout the movie, including a few just for the adults, like a sly reference to Lehman Brothers. This movie is, in a word, hilarious.
The Despicable …

If you’re in need of a laugh, get yourself to a theater to see Get Him to the Greek. I went in not expecting too much – perhaps to be mildly amused – but I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times. It’s basically a road trip movie involving a rock star whose …

I took my nephew to see Toy Story 2 back in 1999. He was three years old, and loved the movie (as much as a three-year-old can. He was a tad squirmy back then but the movie definitely resonated with him, and me.) Fast-forward ELEVEN (!!) years, and we returned to the same theater for …

Garry Marshall is brilliant. He made a mildly entertaining movie with an A-List cast and a name that virtually guarantees it a place in holiday rerun history. Valentine’s Day is like Crash-light. Really, really, really light. It follows a bunch of folks whose lives intersect in various ways as they break up, make up, find …

“A woman’s hair is her glory.” Maya Angelou says it in Good Hair and it’s an idea that goes back to biblical times. So no wonder so many women are obsessed with their hair. But what exactly is “good hair”? That’s the question comedian Chris Rock asks in his documentary and the answers he gets …

In The Invention of Lying no one in the entire world has ever told a lie, until some strange twist allows one loser, just fired from his job and about to be evicted from his apartment, to figure out that it is not only possible, but extremely advantageous to him to dissemble. The loser …

Whip It is a good little chick flick. Sure, it’s predictable and thin on story. But it’s fun – a theatrical joyride on skates. Think Juno meets Roller Derby.
Ellen Page (Juno) plays Bliss Cavendar, a high school teenager who’s stuck in a rut in her small hometown of Bodeen, Texas, where life revolves around beauty …

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is delicious, a fun film for kids and the adults who take them to see it. I saw it in 2D because my six-year-old excuse for seeing movies like this has something against the 3D glasses, but I think it must be even more fun in 3D. Cheeseburgers flying …

Most of the time I like Steven Soderbergh’s movies and The Informant! does not disappoint. Matt Damon is great playing Mark Whitacre, the real life informant of the title. As with some of Soderbergh’s best films there is a lot of ambiguity about his hero. Whitacre comes into this film as …
