Splat 2.5/4
The Game Plan (2007)
"There’s a fine line between pandering and giving an audience what it wants. The Game Plan walks this line, just barely staying on the tasteful side."
Sean McBride
Tomato 3/4
Garden State (2004)
"an auspicious film debut which features some quirky-yet-endearing performances, a killer soundtrack, and a screenplay far deeper than we should expect from a mere sitcom actor"
Splat 1/4
Garfield the Movie (2004)
"Garfield stinks like a dead cat."
Splat 1.5/4
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)
"Kiddies may laugh at the barnyard antics, but mom and dad will roll their eyes at the mindless mayhem. Bottom line—Bad Kitty!"
Splat 2/4
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)
"If you’re a huge zombie fan, then by all means, go worship at the altar of Romero. But if you’re just looking for a scary movie, you can do better on DVD"
Georgia Rule (2007)
"Does anybody really want to see a quirky incest comedy? Yuck."
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)
"The 50 Cent Fan Club will fill the seats hoping to get a glimpse into their hero, but Get Rich never offers any insights into what drives the man and his music."
Get Smart (2008)
"Purists may be disappointed, but I must admit that the film is nevertheless a lot of fun."
Ghost Rider (2007)
"There’s nothing here that you haven’t seen previously in much better comic book movies."
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)
"The comedy is reduced to pratfalls and embarrassing situations, and much of it comes across as just mean-spirited."
Glory Road (2006)
"The film is engaging, even if it is somewhat lackluster"
Goal! (2006)
"While the movie is a thoroughly generic sports movie, there’s no denying that it works as a rousing example of the genre."
The Golden Compass (2007)
"jam-packed full of wonderful characters, magical landscapes and high adventure."
Tomato 3.5/4
Gone Baby Gone (2007)
"a riveting crime drama, wisely populated with a top-shelf cast and based on a harrowing Dennis Lehane novel."
Good Luck Chuck (2007)
"a lot of dirty-minded snickers, but not as many genuine laughs as you might have hoped for."
Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)
"one of the most thoughtful, impassioned and best films of the year."
Gracie (2007)
"An unbelievable mix of sports movie clichés and girl-power attitude"
Gran Torino (2008)
"a mighty entertaining drama, anchored by a cantankerous-yet-appealing performance by Eastwood himself."
The Great Debaters (2007)
"a bit too obvious to be considered a true classic in the genre."
Gridiron Gang (2006)
"turns out to be quite enjoyable, even if it’s not all that good"
Grindhouse (2007)
"regular audiences might have trouble getting through the film’s three-plus hours of B-movie excess."
The Grudge (2004)
"even though the plot is a bit disjointed and the characters are underdrawn, the truly terrifying ghosts are more than worth the price of admission."
The Grudge 2 (2006)
"just a quick scare and then back to the nonsensical and diluted story."
The Guardian (2006)
"...turns out to be a crowd-pleasing drama that Coast Guard fans will adore, even if it is only an average genre flick at best."
