My Big Fat Gree...
Good 66 Points 2002

A Miss Lonelyhearts gets her fantasy fulfilled, delivers an appealing ethnic story and is genuinely funny. That winning combo makes Nia Vardalos’ Big Fat Greek Wedding a smart, family-friendly comedy.

Greek-American, Italian-American, Jewish-American, Albanian-American, we all bob around in…

My Awkward Sexu...
Good 66 Points 2012

From Canada comes a fresh and often funny sex comedy. It is what it says it is: high concept applied to low regions. Thus you get sleeping sex, a bright and poppy production, and a jilted accountant flying off to Toronto for pictorial proof that other girls find him attractive. Did I mention t…

Morning Glory
Good 71 Points 2010

Morning TV seduces Rachel McAdams’ plucky heroine more than a McDreamy boyfriend in this love letter to the bright lights of mainstream media. Good thing, since some well crafted career comedy makes Morning Glory reasonably entertaining to men, even if its target audience is aspiring women loo…

Mamma Mia!
Very Good 66 Points 2008

No one ever mistook me for a fan of Abba, nor am I the correct gender to crave a big fat musical set in Greece. Still, I have to admit that this ideal date movie is loads of fun. A great cast, terrific songs, idyllic settings, and a surprisingly engaging story make this pop confection worth see…

Love Actually
Great 90 Points 2003

As cheerfully commercial Christmas movies go, Love Actually is actually a crappy, er, great one. Stars aplenty populate ten mostly separate love stories, making for a generally lighthearted confection. Writer-director Richard Curtis is a master of these trendy RomComs. Like his "Four Weddings a…

Love & Friendship
OK 66 Points 2016

Extravagantly praised and extravagantly mounted, Love & Friendship proves a bit dull. OK, extravagantly dull. Jane Austen wrote about women whose fortune depended on marriage, comically albeit dully here.

Kate Beckinsale & Chloë Savigny play mean girls who get over on husbands, children an…

Long Shot
Very Good 66 Points 2019

Long Shot is often downright hilarious while also being unintentionally revealing about the state of Left Wing America, making it a very good movie, if a sad one at the same time. So it goes in our 2019 world.

The unlikely couple at the center of this post-rom romcom are Charlize Theron’s su…

Just Go With It
Barely OK 83 Points 2011

Better than expected romance and typically painful Adam Sandler comedy make Just Go With It less awful than Sandler’s usual. The former comes from RomCom pro Jennifer Aniston, who creates some palpable chemistry with Sandler; The latter from Sandler’s recent shtick of caricaturing Hollywood ar…
