What To Expect When You’re Expecting Review

What To Expect When You're Expecting delivers a stale plot, mostly underwritten characters and almost no joy. Expect little and you may not be entirely disappointed.

Battleship Review

A silly summer popcorn flick that tries too hard to be witty and tongue-in-cheek while still embracing its deadly serious commitment to being the ultimate blow-em-up action extravaganza. In the end, neither angle works and the film sinks like a stone.

The Five-Year Engagement Review

The film may be a cut above your average romantic comedy, but it still suffers from the dreaded Apatow curse of not having an editor prudent enough to keep the film focused on the main story.

The Pirates! Band Of Misfits Review

A rollicking good time that offers enough broad comedy mixed with more cerebral sight gags to ensure this will be a family favourite for years to come.

Darling Companion Review

A so-so adult comedy that is predictable enough to be comforting but doesn't do its stellar cast any favours with the kind of silly material.

The Raven Review

It's silly, has plot holes big enough to drive a truck through and is little more than a gothic version of Law & Order, yet it has a macabre charm that will keep you interested for the film's duration.

The Lucky One Review

A pretty to look at but emotionally void film that does no favours for its otherwise lovely lead actors.

While Lockout matches Luc Besson’s other film projects in its devotion to being nothing more than a slick, uncomplicated spectacle, the film’s ridiculously botched execution and lazy action sequences make it ultimately fall short of its outrageous concept and otherwise intriguing build-up.

The Moth Diaries Review

The Moth Diaries is an entirely bloodless vampire tale that takes itself way too seriously.

Bully is all heart, no brain – which makes it an easily palatable doc to sit through (especially for those who wouldn’t normally watch a feature-length documentary) but not especially great for adding to the larger discussion or actually affecting the change it’s talking about.
