SEAN BURNS

Agrees with the Tomatometer 73% of the time.

Biography: Since 1999 Sean Burns has been Philadelphia Weekly's lead film critic, and also currently writes for The Improper Bostonian. His work has previously appeared in The Boston Metro, Matinee Magazine, The Nashville Scene, Time Out New York and The House Next Door. Burns was a recurring guest on the late David Brudnoy's WBZ 1030 AM Radio Show, and in 2002 received an award for Excellence in Criticism from the Society of Professional Journalists. His writing has been called "jocular but serious, more like a 1940s daily reporter pounding out columns on a manual typewriter than a typical 21st century navel-gazing film critic." Burns has also been told that he "smokes too much and drives like an old lady." He and his cat live in Stoneham, MA.

" Streep nimbly apes that famous warbly voice and bemused laugh, clomping around the set like a delightful giantess."

Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)

Jackass: Number Two (2006)

" As awesome as it is stupid (and that's pretty awesome) Jackass Number Two is an idiot's delight. Simple, unadulterated sub-mental joy."

Junebug (2005)

" Sort of a Meet the Parents for the Sundance set, director Phil Morrison's bizarrely overpraised Junebug is one of this year's vaguest, most listless oddities."

Johnson Family Vacation (2004)

" Eighties nostalgia has seeped so far into our pop-cultural landscape, it's starting to feel like VH1 took over the movie studios."

Jersey Girl (2004)

" Smith's idea of 'maturity' feels a lot like a 'very special episode' of a television sitcom. Jersey Girl is competent, gummy and bland. "
