With sheer lack of inspiration, it's merely another example of a video game not exactly translating to the big screen in memorable fashion.

If not for Streep, this flash-in-the-pan might have gone straight to Video on Demand.

Just stupidly brilliant enough to become something of a cult classic in the vein of Zoolander or Dodgeball.

Every once in a while, a movie actually winds up being far more than you were expecting. A light, consistently-funny tone and a winsome protagonist...

An engaging public service reminder about the goodness of humanity and how the world's interconnectedness via social media can actually be a...

Seemed like a slam dunk in perfect-for-the-whole-family counter-programming, but violence and mature themes could keep the younger set away.

No, it's not clean, but I haven’t been part of a screening audience that’s laughed this loud since Bridesmaids in 2011.
