Mousehunt (1997)

Mousehunt (1997)

[7] When two down-on-their-luck brothers inherit an old house valued in the millions, the only thing standing between them and riches is the tiny little mouse that lives there. Nathan Lane and Lee Evans star as the bungling brothers in this somewhat…
This Means War (2012)

This Means War (2012)

[7] Chris Pine, Tom Hardy, and Reese Witherspoon star in this McG-directed comedy-action flick about two CIA guys who find themselves competing for the same woman's affections. The script is born of stale formula, but the plot is kept out of the…
Slums of Beverly Hills (1998)

Gorp (1980)

Army of Darkness (1992)

[6] The third Evil Dead film gets a bigger budget and a more traditional plot, but the polish and structure don't compensate for low-budget invention and madcap inspiration. Bruce Campbell is prime here, delivering a smattering of memorable lines and a few…
Back to the Future: Part II (1989)

Back to the Future: Part II (1989)

[6] As the sequel to an almost perfect film, Back to the Future: Part II naturally comes up short. While it lacks the heart and coherence of the first film, it's wild with ideas and invention, both on screen and behind the…
Pineapple Express (2008)

Pineapple Express (2008)

[8] Pineapple Express is Quentin Tarantino meets Cheech and Chong, a hyperviolent action flick crashed into a buddy comedy. The mish-mash may be an acquired taste, but it's a winning combination for me. Seth Rogen and James Franco carry this movie to…
Paper Heart (2009)

Paper Heart (2009)

[4] A maudlin pseudo-documentary about a socially awkward girl's quest for true love. Um, gag? Charlyne Yi, adorable in her weird Knocked Up cameo, is tediously boring here. The concept for this movie is confounding -- part of it is Yi interviewing…
