Tomato 3/5 |
Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"Some directoral slight of hand combines with a pair of professional performances to make this unbelievable love story believable." |

Splat 2/5 |
Leatherheads (2008) |

The Longest Yard (2005) |
"It’s a high-spirited romp that nevertheless feels watered down compared to the gritty edge of the Burt Reynolds vehicle that still holds up pretty well three decades later." |
