Don’t let the crummy title scare you away from this surprisingly fun romantic comedy starring the ever charming Michelle Pfeiffer and featuring the fast-times wit of Amy Heckerling. Apparently this movie never made it into American theaters, though it did gross $24 million in Brazil. Those Braz… |

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… |

Call me crazy, but I find The Philadelphia Story inferior to Bringing Up Baby, its contemporaneous cousin. Katherine Hepburn’s comeback movie – the picture that cemented her status as a hit-making star – is a very fine romcom and an understandable member of seven American Film Institute all-t…

The American President succeeds grandly as a romantic comedy and ironically as a revealing peek into cushy Democratic pieties, of which Aaron Sorkin and Rob Reiner’s 1990s movie is a cinematic catechism. It focuses on a likeable man in the third year of his Presidency who is animated primari…

Film Geek would be a perfect film school project, yet is merely Very Good in open competition. That said, Very Good means worth watching, especially if you’ve got some film geek in you, or any kind of geek really. Scotty – the film geek of the title – personifies the Geek’s Dilemma. He ask…

This spurned love story succeeds by being insistently charming and more than occasionally funny. Cleverly conceived, crisply executed and charismatically performed, (500) Days of Summer is a small joy of a movie. Plus you’ve got to love the terrific dance number that brightens up the middle ree…

Boy gets girl is as traditional as movies get. Scott Pilgrim gets the girl alright, but the rest of this video-game inspired romantic comedy gets pretty far from traditional. Start with the boy, a nerdy rocker. Then the girl, a man-eater with a slew of evil – superpowered – exes, not all of…

Comedies get no respect, so perceptively intelligent movies like Wanderlust get discounted by the critics. Never mind that it’s continuously clever, even if only sporadically LOL. The LOLs do come however, some hitting various parts of the audience and some slaying everyone. When a Big One…
