Crocodile Dundee II (1988)

Crocodile Dundee II (1988)

[5] In the first film, Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) was a fish out of water in New York. This time around, the action is transported largely to the Australian Outback, with Linda Kozlowski's character being more of the fish. Unfortunately, this sequel…
The Village (2004)

The Village (2004)

[6] A small, isolated village of puritan-like people come under siege by a killer in their midst, as well as woodland monsters that may not be what they seem... Whether or not you like M. Night Shyamalan's The Village ultimately hinges upon…
Grease (1978)

Grease (1978)

[6] A handful of fun musical numbers and charismatic performances make Grease an entertaining ride. John Travolta, Stockard Channing, and Jeff Conaway are the ones who really shine. Olivia Newton-John is better when she's singing than when she's acting, but the fact…
Goodbye Again (1961)

Goodbye Again (1961)

[6] Tired of her boyfriend's sexual indiscretions, Ingrid Bergman reluctantly begins an affair with a much younger man played by Anthony Perkins. The relationship is doomed from the start, of course, and everything ends in tears. Bergman is uncharacteristically manic in this…

Break of Hearts (1935)

[3] Katharine Hepburn plays an aspiring composer who falls in love with a successful conductor. He cheats on her, they split up, they miss each other, they get back together. Snore. Supporting player John Beal is five times more appealing than phoney…
Wolf (1994)

Wolf (1994)

[5] An odd and perhaps ill-fitting choice of material for director Mike Nichols (The Graduate). Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer give decent performances, but James Spader leaves a greater impression as a backstabbing protege. Wolf focuses more on the psychological effects of…
The Lady Eve (1941)

The Lady Eve (1941)

[7] Barbara Stanwyck's a card shark and Henry Fonda's a naive millionaire. They meet and fall in love aboard an Atlantic cruise in Preston Sturges's The Lady Eve, a romantic comedy made tolerable with its sizzling sexual teasing and moderate slapstick humor.…
Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Crocodile Dundee (1986)

[7] Formulaic romantic comedies don't usually fly with me, but when you place a genuine, sincere element into the formula, an element like Paul Hogan, it sometimes doesn't matter how old the story is. And I have to credit Hogan and his…
Four’s a Crowd (1938)

Four’s a Crowd (1938)

[7] It's surprising Errol Flynn didn't make more screwball comedies, because he's completely at home in this 'who's duping who' comedy, outrunning the guard dogs, shaking hands with people in side-by-side moving cars, and carrying on romantic telephone conversations with two women…
An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)

An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)

[7] Richard Gere plays a navy cadet who falls in love with a factory worker played by Debra Winger. The romance part of the story doesn't work as well as Gere's combative relationship with his drill instructor, played by Louis Gossett Jr. …
