Forgetting Sara...
Perfect 108 Points 2008

Laff-a-minute comedy, perhaps the best one yet from golden producer Judd Apatow and his repertory players. Delightfully surprising from scene-to-scene, FSM mints three movie stars – two beauties and a charming beast: Mila Kunis, smolderingly beautiful, possesses the best voice since Kathleen T…

Very Good 99 Points 2004

More SNL than it should be, Anchorman nonetheless lives up to its legend as a modern comedy classic. Snarky humor aside, it’s almost as fun watching it now to pick out the bit players who have gone on to comedy stardom – Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Seth Rogen and Vince Vaughn among them.

Walk Hard: The ...
Very Good 98 Points 2007

John C. Reilly’s Walk Hard plays like a feature-film SNL skit, all the more because many in the large cast are SNL players, including Kristen Wiig, Tim Meadows & Chris Parnell. Weekend Update never arrives, but you half expect it to. Often funny yet strivingly ambitious, Walk Hard’s reach wel…

Tropic Thunder
Great 92 Points 2008

Plenty funny, at least 60% LOL, yet as with all brutally rude modern comedies, the other 40% induces winces and groans. Still funny is funny, and this sucker brings the laughs.

Much is being made of how the movie makes fun of the retarded. But why stop there? It also makes fun of blacks, Je…

Get Him to the ...
Perfect 89 Points 2010

Hugely funny, surprisingly dramatic, trenchantly trendy: Get Him to the Greek upholds the purple perfection of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, its prequel. Easily the best rockstar movie ever, it’s funnier and has better music than Spinal Tap

This Is the End
Great 83 Points 2013

This Is The End is the demented love child of Superbad, Pineapple Express, Cloverfield and Left Behind. Yes, that’s four parents. Who’s judging. Slyly self-referential, super sick and sock-it-to-me funny, it simply slays – comedically speaking. Roughly 40% LOL, the intervening 60% gets …

The Last Station
Really Great 83 Points 2009

Celebrity, genius, marital complexity and misguided idealism collide in this loose recreation of Leo Tolstoy’s last year on earth. A resplendent movie – Helen Mirren’s performance and costumes alone are worth the price of admission – The Last Station doesn’t require the viewer to know that Cou…

Very Good 83 Points 2010

Artistic pranksters engaged in good old-fashioned anarchism make the Oscar nominated Exit Through the Gift Shop big fun. Just don’t judge its subjects too closely.

Banksy’s documentary chronicles street art’s commercial breakthrough, with the director himself its shining star. Anti-capital…

The Interview
Very Good 83 Points 2014

The Interview caused a commotion last year by triggering the first cyber-terrorism jolt to the real world. Kim Jong-un didn’t take kindly to being lampooned in a ribald American comedy, pop culture fan though he may be. Fortunately he didn’t try to lob a nuclear warhead into San Francisco, inst…

The Truman Show
Great 83 Points 1998

Reality TV has become ever more pervasive since The Truman Show wowed everyone in 1998. Fortunately, none have made an unwitting dupe the star of the show for the first thirty years of his life. Notwithstanding that such a thing would be impossible, it got explored in Peter Weir’s great film of…
