Splat 1.5/4 |
We Are Marshall (2006) |
"A subtle, delicate hand is required to do loss and grief justice. And that's something McG doesn't have. He tries to convince us that rallying around the old flagpole is drama enough, but it rings false." |

Tomato |
The Wedding Planner (2001) |

Karen Hershenson |
Tomato |
What Time Is It There? (2002) |
"The story wraps back around on itself in the kind of elegant symmetry that's rare in film today, but be warned: It's a slow slog to get there." |

Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B |
Wimbledon (2004) |
"Although Wimbledon is formulaic, the jokes are strong and the tennis setting provides a fine diversion." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B |
