" Plucky, likable and determined to succeed, much like its heroine, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl is a throwback to the kinds of movies they don’t make anymore." -- Variety

Yellow Asphalt (2002)100%
/
 
" Like a shopworn wedding gown disguised with a new sash, Made of Honor feels recycled from top to bottom. That's because it's essentially a gender-swapped version of My Best Friend's Wedding." -- Variety
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Made of Honor (2008)12%
/
 
" Arrogance gives way to humility, making this an appropriate, if thoroughly cliched, Christmas morality tale that's sugar-coated with an attractive cast spouting sitcom-quality dialogue." -- Variety
Posted Apr 16, 2008
 
I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998)18%
/
 
" As a film, however, item misses its mark, failing to capitalize on the staccato rhythms and sardonic wit of Bridget's inner life." -- Variety
Posted Apr 15, 2008
 
Bridget Jones' Diary (2001)80%
/
 
" Accessible, entertaining and fun for modern audiences. Exquisitely acted, tightly directed and impressively assembled, this lively period piece is the kind of arty gem with potentially broad appeal that Miramax certainly knows how to sell." -- Variety
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
Shakespeare in Love (1998)93%
/
 
" Feels like an homage to a bygone era of moviemaking." -- Variety
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
A Plumm Summer (2008)25%
/
 
" At once a throwback to the days of Capra and Sturges and a wholly contempo item, Snow Days is smarter and more appealing than many other recent romantic comedies." -- Variety
Posted Nov 26, 2007
 
Let it Snow (2001)53%
/
 
" A rare holiday treat, a package that's both thoughtfully selected and sure to please its intended recipients." -- Variety
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
This Christmas (2007)54%
/
3/5
 
" Haney doesn't strive for balance, and he doesn't have to; the images speak for themselves." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
The Price of Sugar (2007)72%
/
 
" ...should satisfy Bynes fans looking for a pleasant, innocuous follow-up to her last vehicle." -- Variety
Posted Sep 25, 2007
 
Sydney White (2007)38%
/
2.5/5
 
" A spoof, sometimes a funny one, and sometimes just plain overkill." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Aug 30, 2007
 
Closing Escrow (2007)54%
/
 
" This new comedy rarely rises above standard sitcom fare, a bitter and ironic disappointment given the involvement of American Splendor writer-directors Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman." -- Variety
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
The Nanny Diaries (2007)33%
/
2.5/5
 
" With its recycled themes and muddled storyline generating a cascade of unanswered questions, the film is more about style than substance." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Aug 16, 2007
 
Splinter (2006)33%
/
4/5
 
" The film successfully contextualizes [Wisenthal's] legacy for a new generation." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jul 5, 2007
 
I Have Never Forgotten You (2007)77%
/
 
" Purportedly an attempt to modernize the young detective's adventures for a new generation of tweens, the pic instead serves up stale mystery-movie cliches and overcooked red herrings in a thoroughly wooden adaptation." -- Variety
Posted Jun 9, 2007
 
Nancy Drew (2007)49%
/
3/5
 
" With so much invested in this film, Gracie represents the culmination of a family dream, so you can't really blame it for wearing its heart on its sleeve." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jun 1, 2007
 
Gracie (2007)59%
/
3.5/5
 
" Alone With Her is a pretty engaging tale, and it's refreshing to see a well-acted, suspenseful drama made without a bloated budget or a lot of bloodletting." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted May 26, 2007
 
Alone With Her (2007)69%
/
2.5/5
 
" Better pruning and different choices might have helped to shape the film into a more cohesive piece, instead of one so desperate to be funny that it sacrifices its honesty." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted May 18, 2007
 
Hollywood Dreams (2007)38%
/
2.5/5
 
" With a different tone -- or in different hands -- its dark and light elements might have managed to coexist rather than vie so awkwardly for attention." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted May 10, 2007
 
Georgia Rule (2007)18%
/
3.5/5
 
" Although its location and plot points are worlds away from typical Hollywood teen-angst fare, some of its themes are undeniably universal." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
Close to Home (2007)67%
/
1.5/5
 
" About as appetizing as a pot of dishwater coffee." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Mar 16, 2007
 
Caffeine (2007)0%
/
2/5
 
" Serious portions, in which Gurwitch appears far too often to be mugging and cracking wise, are intercut with dumb sketches." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Mar 15, 2007
 
Fired! (2007)44%
/
 
" Notable for its handsome, chiseled young lead, Sidney Santiago, and energy-infused urban cinematography." -- Variety
Posted Feb 2, 2007
 
The 12 Labors (2007)n/a
/
1.5/5
 
" There isn't enough absinthe in all of Romania to obliterate the taste of this clunker." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jan 30, 2007
 
Blood and Chocolate (2007)11%
/
 
" Deals with serious issues -- sudden death, grief, infidelity, deception -- in a fairly lighthearted way. What makes that worse is that there are a few moments when the film actually approaches some kind of emotional or dramatic truth." -- Variety
Posted Jan 25, 2007
 
Catch and Release (2007)22%

" A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film." -- Variety

" There may be no young actress today better at embodying a blend of wounded innocence and stoic pride than Sarah Polley. In The Secret Life of Words, she has a part worthy of her gifts." -- Los Angeles Times
