"Small screen hottie Hilary Duff moves on from her kid celebrity roots carved out on Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire, to not exactly Juno looking for lust here, but excelling in a vocal talent for snotty teen talk that's as anti-grownup as can be." |

Adventureland (2009) |
"Superbad followup with superbored minimum wage recession youth in standard kid romance. But given dramatic intensity by method actress extraordinaire Kristen Stewart, as sullen side dish to flirty Ryan Reynolds' main squeeze spouse." |

Alien Trespass (2009) |
"Kooky faux blast from the past eating disorder space monster fugitives craving humans for dinner, sexpot dames with flirty libidos who would make the Hays Code censorship suits faint back then, and memory lane mayhem with humans wielding table salt." |

An American Affair (2009) |
"A dash of Ingmar Bergman and Oliver Stone in this Capitol Hill noir, as kinky DC sexual politics collide with flaky JFK conspiracy theories, and Bay of Pigs CIA boozer masterminds wonder if communists are having more fun." |

American Casino (2009) |
"If this sounds somewhat like the sort of Ponzi scheme that got Bernard Madoff busted but let everyone else there off the hook, think sacrificial lamb serving as distraction to an entire tainted system. American Casino: Home invasion, Wall Street style." |
