Critics Consensus: Wimpy Kid Gets Picked OnThis week at the movies, we've got a scheming tween (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, starring Zachary Gordon and Steve Zahn); squabbling exes (The Bounty Hunter, starring Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston); and hazardous healthcare (Repo Men, starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker). What do the critics have to say? It's a (debatable) maxim that the book is always better than the movie. That certainly seems to be the case with Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which critics say contains moments of insight and humor but never fleshes out its middle school characters with the same empathy as Jeff Kinney's books. |

Total Recall: Jennifer Aniston's Best MoviesMaking the jump from sitcom lead to film star is tricky -- just ask former Friends stars David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, and Matthew Perry, all of whom have found that the big screen can be a rather inhospitable place. But there's an exception for every rule, and although her filmography is not without its share of failures (Love Happens, anyone?), Jennifer Aniston has shown an impressive ability to balance commercial hits (The Break-Up) with critical winners (The Good Girl). With her latest effort, the action comedy The Bounty Hunter, hitting theaters this weekend, we took the opportunity to look back at the ten best-reviewed films from Hollywood's favorite Friend. It's Total Recall time! |

Tomatometer Watch: Critics Love Kick-Ass!From surprisingly positive MacGruber early reaction to a 100% Tomatometer out of the gate with Cyrus, the SXSW festival has been making critics happy. And perhaps no one movie more so than Kick-Ass. From its showstopping introduction at last year's Comic-Con, buzz and awareness of this freewheeling adaptation of the violent comic series has spread from geek comment boards to mainstream pop culture. With ecstatic reviews from the recent SXSW premiere coming in, Kick-Ass seems all but solidified as another genre triumph for director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) and distributor Lionsgate come April 16th. |
