Tomato 3/4 |
The Namesake (2007) |
"Bollywood stars Tabu and Khan are excellent as Gogol's concerned parents, and Taraporevala is patient enough to allow their characters to build a real relationship from the ground up." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1/4 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"I won't go so far as to state it's Battlefield Earth for the Clearasil crowd, but it's clearly a turkey no matter how it's sliced up." |

Matt Brunson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Narc (2002) |

"A monumental copout on the level of those overused "It was all a dream" stories that our fiction writing professors would urge us not to pen back in college." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Next Day Air (2009) |
"Here's a project so ill-conceived that it finds room in its cast for the talented Mos Def but then bungles that gift by giving him the smallest role among the principal cast members." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
