On the rom-com scale, scores fair on chemistry between leads, poor on script. Too bad in a sex-free film where marriage is a noble goal.

Plenty of car chases, moral ambiguity and a serious body count, but this loose adaptation of There Are No Spies falls into no man’s land.

Has all the hallmarks of Perry’s former installments: a little heart, a little hope, and one pistol-packing grandma.

If this is Hayao Miyazaki's final film, it's a fitting farewell to an artist who inspired wonder in millions of fans both young and old.

Nowhere near as intriguing as the novel it's based upon. In fact it feels more like "Touched by an Angel: Teen Edition."

Let’s get the inevitable comparison out of the way: Twister, this ain't.

Doesn't take itself too seriously; the actors have a blast, creating lightheartedness. But it just had to sink into the gutter.

Begins with several forced, tasteless jokes before settling into a familiar but not unpleasant story which the lead actors carry well.

Tries to cram four stories into just over 90 minutes. Star-studded and easy on the eyes, but lacks a method to its shock-jock madness.

Doesn't offer the same measure of surprise as the original but has different strengths of its own, including how regret and apology heal.

Sweet but sordid, a darker take on music that's usually identified with a more carefree, wholesome era.

The opening bursts with a rare synthesis of music and unusual imagery that looks like the beginning of a memorable film. It doesn't last.

Amusing, but difficult to endorse. A good message on taking responsibility for a lousy lot in life is lost in a lack of good taste.

For a PG film, it's potentially nightmarish for youngsters. Others will find the acting, themes, and new twist on an old tale enjoyable.

This time the cute factor doesn’t get in the way of meaningful characters and it’s a much better picture as a result.
