Love and Other Drugs (2011)

Love and Other Drugs (2011)

[4] Jake Gyllenhaal plays a pharmaceutical rep and Anne Hathaway plays a free-spirit with the onset of Parkinson's. They get together and take us with them on a dreary tale that's more sad than funny, kinda boring, and lacking much forward momentum.…
Forbidden Zone (1980)

Forbidden Zone (1980)

[7] Diminutive Herve Villechaize (TV's Fantasy Island) stars in this gift from cult movie heaven for which no summary could do justice, Forbidden Zone is a prolonged crash of the whacky and perverse. The utterly irreverent storyline tests my patience in a few…
Paul (2011)

Paul (2011)

[6] Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Seth Rogen are intrinsically likable enough to make this goofball movie watchable. Pegg and Frost star as two guys vacationing to Roswell, New Mexico, the UFO capitol of the world. Once there, they meet an alien…
The Kids Are All Right (2010)

The Kids Are All Right (2010)

[8] The teenaged children of a lesbian couple seek out their sperm donor and wackiness ensues. Actually, it's not all that wacky, and that's what's refreshing about The Kids Are All Right. The film steers clear of good/bad absolutes and offers up…

22 Jump Street (2014)

[6] Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum go undercover at college to bust another drug lord in a sequel that is admittedly and unabashedly more of the same. But the sequel is even more bromantic than the first, playing the relationship so serious…

21 Jump Street (2012)

[6] Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill star in this big-screen adaptation of the Fox TV show, about two young cops who go undercover at a high school to help find the supplier for a new, deadly drug. Young directors Phil Lord and…

Sausage Party (2016)

[7] Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg co-wrote and co-produced this R-rated animated satire about a grocery store hot dog (voiced by Rogen) that discovers the truth about life outside the store's sliding glass doors. But it's an uphill battle to convince the rest…
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016)

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016)

[7] If you're a fan of the ill-mannered British TV show, you'll probably enjoy Eddy and Patsy's first big bloody screen adventure. Me? I think it's one of the funniest TV shows EVER made, so I drove two hours to the nearest theater…
Magic Mike (2012)

Magic Mike (2012)

[6] The latest film from Steven Soderbergh (Sex Lies and Videotape) is more of a bait and switch than I would have liked. Based loosely on the real life stripping exploits of star Channing Tatum, the film promises the fun and sizzle…
