Searching for Paradise (2002) 71% EDIT “Noth has great fun playing the self-involved, pretentious star, and Pratt is touching as a young woman confused and consumed by grief.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Norbit (2007) 9% 1/4 EDIT “If there's no limit to your love of fat jokes, this is the movie for you.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Bratz (2007) 10% 0/4 EDIT “How do our flighty young heroines fight back? By shopping, of course. There is no problem, it seems, a new tube top and mini-skirt can't fix.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Zoom (2006) 5% 0.5/4 EDIT “Call this one Galaxy Quest -- another movie in which Tim Allen plays an arrogant jerk who learns lessons about teamwork and friendship -- without the humor, charm, or wit.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Copying Beethoven (2006) 29% 2/4 EDIT “Stuck between Kruger's blankness and Harris's overemoting, the film never finds a balance.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Material Girls (2006) 4% 0.5/4 EDIT “An insipid mess not worthy of the tweens who flock to such flicks.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Daddy Day Camp (2007) 1% 0.5/4 EDIT “It all comes down to the "Olympiad," a battle of idiotic proportions between the two camps, and if you can't guess what happens next, this just may be the movie for you.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Holiday (2006) 51% 2/4 EDIT “A reminder to all producers: alluding to iconic romantic comedies in a bid for legitimacy can be a dangerous game, even when you have appealing stars.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Good Luck Chuck (2007) 5% EDIT “The only plausible scenario in this movie is the idea that a woman would be so annoyed by Dane Cook, she'd be willing to put a curse on him.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Enchanted (2007) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “It rides on the charm of its actors, particularly Amy Adams as the hapless, homicidally upbeat princess and James Marsden as her would-be prince charming.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Yours, Mine & Ours (2005) 6% 1.5/4 EDIT “Only the youngest will find this mess amusing.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Serenity (2005) 82% 3/4 EDIT “The entire cast from the series appears in the film, and at least a few seem poised for breakout status, especially Nathan Fillion.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 30, 2005 Full Review The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005) 85% 3/4 EDIT “The adult sex comedy is making a comeback.” – Boston Phoenix Aug 27, 2005 Full Review Fascination (2004) 4% 1/4 EDIT “The most fascinating thing about this movie is why they thought anyone would want to see it.” – Boston Phoenix Feb 5, 2005 Full Review In Good Company (2004) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “Although he won his spurs with American Pie, Weitz's style here is more like a soufflé: light, classy, short on substance.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 15, 2005 Full Review Surviving Christmas (2004) 8% EDIT “Survive this movie and Christmas will be a breeze.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 30, 2004 Full Review Shall We Dance? (2004) 46% EDIT “Shall We Dance? gives us characters whose lives are transformed by the beauty and joy of dancing without ever showing us how.” – Boston Phoenix Oct 19, 2004 Full Review The Cookout (2004) 5% EDIT “Director Lance Rivera raises some legitimate questions about moving up versus selling out and the commodification of professional athletes, but he couldn't care less about answering them.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 11, 2004 Full Review The Notebook (2004) 54% EDIT “This film tries to evoke the 1940s but never quite finds the right tone, coming off instead like a big costume party.” – Boston Phoenix Jul 3, 2004 Full Review Garfield: The Movie (2004) 14% EDIT “It's not much of a story, and director Peter Hewitt seems content to flesh it out with bland staging and characterizations.” – Boston Phoenix Jun 12, 2004 Full Review The Triplets of Belleville (2003) 94% EDIT “Virtually dialogue free, Les triplettes is full of funny and bizarre images, often in the same frame.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 27, 2004 Full Review The Barbarian Invasions (2003) 81% EDIT “Touching on the themes that affect us all in the twilight of one man's life, Arcand has created a moving portrait of the world we live in and his struggle against it.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 27, 2004 Full Review Peter Pan (2003) 77% EDIT “Pirates, mermaids, and Indians might seem like kid stuff, but Hogan makes his characters real people.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 27, 2003 Full Review Love Actually (2003) 65% EDIT “Fortunately for Curtis, the rest of his actors, who include Laura Linney and Colin Firth in unsentimental portraits of people in love, bring his material back to earth.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 8, 2003 Full Review Brother Bear (2003) 38% EDIT “Disney's latest animated film is, if not exactly a return to form, a return to the spirit of The Lion King.” – Boston Phoenix Nov 1, 2003 Full Review
