Review For Here Comes the Boom
Weak humor and vanilla plotting have replaced legitimate drama, pathos, and character development. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune It's nice that the hero goes to the mat for what he believes in. But he's not the only thing that comes down with a thud. Stephanie Zacharek-Film.com It delivers exactly what's expected from a flabby mishmash of high school inspirational tale and Mixed Martial Arts fighting exhibitionism ladled out by Adam Sandler running mate Frank Coraci ... Linda Barnard-Toronto Star Here Comes the Boom will probably connect like a haymaker with most of its intended audience. The leads are likeable, and the plot, though beyond incredible, is at the very least distracting. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail Why doesn't most of this movie take place in a coma ward? Frank Lovece-Newsday "Here Comes the Boom" is so full of clichés from other, better movies that it is almost plays like a parody of an underdog tale. Adam Graham-Detroit News Basically, what you get with "Here Comes the Boom" is a completely unbelievable story that is based on a foundation that doesn't contain the least bit of originality. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com It's a wonder that the insultingly awful story is somehow watchable. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A lightweight action-comedy that only tries to entertain, but at least it meets that modest goal. And it knocks out lighter weight comedies like The School of Rock. James Plath-Movie Metropolis The highly likeable Kevin James headlines a highly likeable school/sports comedy lark in which he again plays a lovable oaf. Jim Schembri-3AW The 'Mr. Holland's Opus' meets 'Rocky II' story will satisfy some who long for innocuous content, even those who know James deserves better material. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) An average made-for-TV-type movie that makes its way onto the big screen, 'Here Comes the Boom' doesn't pack much of a punch. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) Now, then. When is Stallone going to start playing a head teacher? Maybe the switch would work the other way... Graham Young-Birmingham Mail 105 painful minutes of a fat guy getting punched in the face and falling down. Ken McIntyre-Total Film Merely the kind of film that once it's on DVD will end up as necessarily mindless fodder for bench-pressing numbskulls to watch in a gym. Graham Young-Birmingham Post The film aims to be simultaneously a coarse sentimental little-guy comedy, a tale of embracing the American dream, and an increasingly serious underdog fight movie on the lines of Rocky. It fails on all three counts. Philip French-Observer [UK] Couldn't Kevin have raised the money by selling hard drugs or trafficking underage women? The closing scenes would, under those circumstances, have seemed only marginally less peculiar. Donald Clarke-Irish Times There's nothing here that you haven't seen a dozen times before and done much better. Alex Zane-Sun Online I went in with rock-bottom expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. It isn't completely awful. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] The Wedding Singer's Frank Coraci retains an endearing fondness for funny-faced bit-parts, but it's fundamentally formulaic in construction and mediocre in execution. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK] A fantasia of hackneyed conceits about education ... Antonia Quirke-Financial Times Every now and again a film comes along that could play as a parody of itself with minimal alteration, and 90 per cent of them seem to have some kind of connection to Adam Sandler. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Daft but hard to dislike ... Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to strong comic performances, likeable characters and direction that gets the tone exactly right. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Unfortunately, the comedy is strictly from the undercard. Tim Evans-Sky Movies As an undemanding time-passer, Here Comes The Boom just about goes the distance. Eddie Harrison-The List

Watch Anna Karenina The third collaboration of Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley with acclaimed director Joe Wright, following the award-winning box office successes Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, is a bold, theatrical new vision of the epic story of love, adapted from Leo Tolstoy's timeless novel by Academy Award winner Tom Stoppard.

Review For Anna Karenina
It's a half-success -- a baldly conceptual response to the Leo Tolstoy novel, with a heavy theatrical framework placed around the narrative of girl meets boy, followed by girl meets train. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune In this adaptation, director Joe Wright, plus screenwriter Tom Stoppard, are determined to tame the untameable. And they do. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail "Anna Karenina," lush as it is, fails to strike a fully human chord. Tom Long-Detroit News The very picture of noble failure, it's a bright red heart without a beat. Peter Howell-Toronto Star The metaphorical force of this conceit-insisting on the artifice of the social world that frowns on rapture-is not hard to grasp, but its frailty unsettles some of the actors. Anthony Lane-New Yorker Thank goodness for Domhnall Gleeson's gentle turn as Oblonsky's friend Levin. The ginger-haired landowner is the movie's warmest figure. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The film does not do even minimal justice to the themes informing the tragedy. Dan Jardine-Cinemania A whirlwind affair composed of dazzling set pieces and a driving narrative. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Tolstoy's novel rendered in exquisite Faberge egg form. Catherine Bray-Film4 While there are suitably glorious elements, there's also a frankly bizarre and much-debated aspect added by playwright Tom Stoppard, so that the whole thing is full of 'Brechtian Alienation Devices' and narrative-splintering tricks. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up It's easy to conclude that this Anna Karenina is a superficial portrait of a superficial society, but that would be to dismiss how emotionally powerful it is in key moments. Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground There have been countless film and tv versions of Russian author Leo Tolstoy's classic high society love story. But none have been captured so beautifully and boldly as this Anna Karenina. Brian Henry Martin-UTV a visually unique story world, bold and beautiful, and dramatically fused with passion. Yet it's also a limited space that remains prisoner to its self-conscious theatrical structures. Simon Weaving-Screenwize The meandering Russian tale of forbidden aristocratic love - Knightley's character spurns her stiff, high-ranking husband, played by Jude Law for military man Aaron Taylor-Johnson - fails to ignite. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A sumptuous cinematic feast! Kam Williams-NewsBlaze Leo Tolstoy's classic tale of doomed romance and the emotionally stifling lives of Russian aristocrats gets an ornate, inert reworking...the congested setting makes much of the film look like a blur of costumes and set dressing. Jim Schembri-3AW Between the screenplay by playwright Tom Stoppard and the direction of Joe Wright, Anna Karenina is a stylistically fascinating film. Tim Martain-The Mercury Trying to one-up Tolstoy was always going to be a bad idea, though I wouldn't object to seeing a Bond movie, or Les Miserables, staged in the same way. Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia) Joe Wright uses the theatre and has the actors taking part in a stage production which then moves out into the real world. I think that's done beautifully. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) Well, Joe Wright has done it. His ANNA KARENINA is a triumph. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) Wright's staged version tries desperately to gain one's attention (which it does) and engage one's affection (which it doesn't). Ed Gibbs-The Sun Herald Wright's edgy, bravura approach actually enhances the moral themes and the social context, illuminating the story in a fresh, contemporary light. This is cinema Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Wright's vision in re-imagining this classic tale is conceptually brilliant, with a perpetual sense of motion... a visual and emotional statement Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Like its central character, this is beautiful and brave even if it fails to fully realise its potential. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film Anna Karenina plays like the ultimate CliffsNotes, which is both testament to Stoppard's exceptional adaptation and abridgement of Tolstoy's novel and acknowledgment of the film's somewhat superficial center. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Knightley has a rare gift for making viewers willing to follow her characters even as they make catastrophically stupid decisions. Dan Lybarger-KC Active

Review For Hyde Park on Hudson
Somewhat uneven and ultimately underwhelming, but there's plenty to admire and enjoy here nonetheless. Tom Huddleston-Time Out A languid, tedious effort that never bothers to get to the heart of its characters, the film is a shallow reading of a significant time told mostly from the viewpoint of a lifeless character. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald It's never a bad movie, but it can't quite gel into a good one either. Tom Long-Detroit News Hyde Park on the Hudson' is a forgettable historical footnote. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Essentially, Hyde Park on Hudson is a Shakespearean revel. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Murray's spot-on portrayal of a man juggling myriad pressures and demands, from petty to momentous, marks one of the film's greatest strengths. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post It's been a long time since Lost in Translation (2003), which is the last time Bill Murray did anything of real note in a film. Here he partially redeems the latter phase of his film career playing pre-war US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Jim Schembri-3AW Bill Murray may not be going for laughs as World War II-era President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he sure gets them in this slice of historical fiction. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com A delightful piece of historical speculation grounded in historical details and personal recollections that have continually been coming to light over the last seventy years ... Murray is terrific in the part - charming, at ease and cunning as a fox. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) The issue of FDR's fidelity remains a thorny topic for traditionalists and historians, never mind the light, fluffy - and ultimately disposable - version of events. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age There is nothing stirring or sufficiently humorous to engage us; the fact that a serving US President is having secret affairs no longer shocks Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile With the incongruous casting of Bill Murray as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nelson's screenplay concentrates on the personal, offering a somewhat voyeuristic view of the events leading up to the 1939 visit of King George Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Even Murray, who never fails to be the most watchable actor in any film, can't prevent Hyde Park On Hudson from being too insipid. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk It's not the strongest premise for a movie, though Hyde Park on Hudson somehow contrives to make it seem rather less than the sum of its parts. Tara Brady-Irish Times Apparently Franklin Delano Roosevelt's polio paralysis didn't include everything below his waist. At least that's the impression left by Hyde Park on Hudson, which paints the president as a horn dog in chief... This isn't Lincoln, by a longshot. Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times When the central drama concerns whether the Royal Couple will eat hot dogs or not, you can tell it's too slender a premise to hang on a film on. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) FDR's story is strikingly relevant to how Paralympians strive so hard today to correct our perception of 'disability'. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Tedious PBS middle-brow fare, though not without a few amusing moments in this mostly forgettable historical pic. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews It's icky stuff, not helped by Murray giving perhaps the worst performance of his career. And I include Garfield 2. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman The film's special success resides in the women's hairdos. Philip French-Observer [UK] Perhaps Hyde Park on Hudson would have been more edifying if it hadn't been released in the wake of The King's Speech. Dan Lybarger-KC Active When the story's leading quartet have to negotiate embarrassing moments - a handjob for Roosevelt administered by Daisy in a bouncing car; eating a hotdog at a picnic for Bertie and Liz - it's Murray's FDR who is most at ease in the sticky situations. Jason Best-Movie Talk Inoffensive and insubstantial. Brian Pendreigh-Radio Times It's a bit antimacassar and too reliant on superior production design and a syrupy score. But if you just watch the acting, it's enough. Derek Malcolm-This is London The breezy, entertaining tone of this historical comedy-drama kind of undermines the fact that it centres on one of the most pivotal moments in US-British history. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com With such a strong cast, Hyde Park on Hudson should have offered so much more. Alex Zane-Sun Online

Review For Hotel Transylvania
No one does saccharine like Adam Sandler. The man can be sharp, angry and funny - but when he lays on the sweetness, it's like drowning in an avalanche of Tate & Lyle. Tom Huddleston-Time Out The 3-D adds a vertiginous thrill to a chase on flying tables and a touch of claustrophobia to a maze of underground corridors. Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times Not since Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein have the great Universal monsters been subjected to such dismal treatment. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Even the animation is ugly. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger A fast, funny and wildly inventive animated tale with enough laughs and heart to appeal to audiences of all ages. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star The film is good goofy fun, even as the plot uncorks a whole lotta nothing. Amy Biancolli-San Francisco Chronicle I was disappointed that this one didn't snag a best animated film Oscar nomination, because it was my second favorite movie in the category last year, after Wreck it Ralph. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A tyke-friendly adventure teaching a universal message of tolerance via the oft-repeated maxim that monsters are people, too! Kam Williams-Sly Fox Kids will enjoy Hotel Transylvania, and it won't bore the socks off adults too. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire There's a good chance that children under 10 will find "Hotel Transylvania" entertaining, because it's as non-threatening as can be and the jokes are obvious. There's an equally good chance that everyone else will wander off . . . James Plath-Movie Metropolis From the spooked start, the comic-rhythm dial's set to bulldozer. Whizzes through the superficially amusing conceit without actually taking much time to craft cunning comedy. Like a sugar-rushed Count Chocula-meets-Fawlty-Towers idea. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) This is a perfectly O.K. animated film. The animation is really quite good. The characters are interesting, but the predictable story isn't very compelling. It is a slightly above average animated feature. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope Director Genndy Tartakovsky has fashioned something even the most sensitive little flowers in your family can enjoy. Andy Lea-Daily Star Hotel Transylvania might be useful as a primer to introduce young film fans to some classic screen creatures, but it falls way behind the standard set by wittier animations from the likes of Pixar and Aardman. Lewis Corner-Digital Spy The concept of monsters as the good guys and humans as the villains is nothing new in the realm of movies, but Tartakovsky keeps things moving along at a satisfying pace as the stellar voice cast have a field day with their iconic characters. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide ... another empty-calorie animated feature ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Checking into this hotel will give you a thrill and get you in the mood for Halloween. Roz Laws-Birmingham Post It's not good enough to actually like, nor is it bad enough to get worked up about. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Primarily concerned with ensuring that young viewers aren't bored, it restlessly relies on juvenile humour, uninspiring musical numbers and wacky, Looney Tunes-type chases. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor With a script by that manages to dilute Adam Sandler's baser instincts with a real love for Universal monsters, Hotel Transylvania is no Grown Ups-style torture. James White-SFX Magazine It's inventive, wittily drawn, macabre in a Charles Addams vein, and overlong. Children will find it as much fun as Halloween. Philip French-Observer [UK] The characters and story, forged by six different directors and many more writers over a six-year-production stint, leave little room for Tartakovsky tricks and tics. Tara Brady-Irish Times Eye-catching animation and non-stop jokes make this animated monster movie a lot more fun than we expect. It's packed with gross-out gags that will keep kids laughing, plus clever character-based humour for the grown-ups. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com The ultimate message about ignorance being the scariest thing of all is a sincere one, but it gets lost in the nonstop, eager-to-please, uninspired zaniness. Alan Jones-Radio Times There is not much originality here, particularly not a daughter wanting to escape an overprotective parent - Brave and Tangled did this much better - and the 3D hardly registers. Alex Zane-Sun Online Sandler's second venture into animation is almost as unfunny as his horrendous Eight Crazy Nights, ten years ago. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]

Watch Argo Movie Online Streaming Free

Watch Argo Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis-the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. -- (C) Warner Bros..

Review For Argo
Affleck himself turns in a quietly impressive movie star performance. Tony Mendez is a kind of anti-Bourne, comfortable with his anonymity, living off his wits, not his fists. Tom Charity-CNN.com For 100 minutes, 'Argo' is close to flawless. Tom Huddleston-Time Out 'Argo' is one of the best movies of the year. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Argo has that solid, kick-the-tires feel of those studio films from the 70s that were about something but also entertained. Only it's as laugh outright amusing as it is sobering. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The movieland satire is laid on thick, but it's also deadly accurate. Schlock has never seemed so patriotic, and Arkin and Goodman have rarely been so good. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Argo is a rollicking yarn, easily the most cohesive and technically accomplished of Affleck's three films so far, but a part of me wishes the director hadn't cast himself in the lead role. Dana Stevens-Slate The film, for all its ample smarts and solid academic craft, is just a great time at the movies. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com ... a terrific piece of filmmaking. Sean Axmaker-Parallax View Ben Affleck is one of this generation's best directors and "Argo" is a tight, engaging thriller. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Argo is director Ben Affleck's weakest effort by far, but still a well-made, performance-driven historical drama. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The only reason to watch Argo is because it's heavily padded, and while it works pretty well regardless, I wouldn't hold that up as an example of high quality filmmaking. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline The top-notch packaging reveals Argo for what it really is: less a nail-biting chamber-piece character drama and more a coolly realized, wildly reckless, actioner. John Semley-Slant Magazine Ben Affleck continues to thrust himself into the top echelon of directors. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Affleck Extraordinaire! Kam Williams-TheLoop21.com Ben Affleck is a director who appreciates the art of storytelling and masters the rare virtue of restraint... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed The sky's the limit for Ben Affleck right now, and its nothing less than he deserves. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire Ben Affleck's wildly entertaining thriller Argo is further proof of the old Hollywood adage that fiction is stranger than truth after all. Jay Stone-Vancouver Sun Affleck spins the absurd true story into an engrossing espionage thriller that would be utterly ridiculous if the stakes weren't literally life-or-death. Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto After Gone Baby Gone, The Town and now this directorial-best, Affleck is establishing himself as a major craftsman. Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out Chicago Affleck inserts such thoughtful commentary and ideas unobtrusively into his film; there's no ideological ball-peen hammer from the filmmaker to drive his beliefs into the audience. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Argo expertly builds tension and makes you wonder whether the mission will succeed. Charles Ealy-Austin American-Statesman There are many heroes in Ben Affleck's spunky, polished political thriller. But the biggest hero is Hollywood itself. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix A strong yet uneven effort... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews We are invested in this rescue mission not simply because these are fellow Americans in peril, but also because Argo takes the time to make each person behind enemy lines unique and authentic. Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com An edge-of-your-seat thriller not to be forgotten at Oscar time! Kam Williams-AALBC.com

Review For Taken 2
A sloppy, lazy, unintentionally laughable sequel. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com A meta-American movie, a Godardian spoof of the whole genre, an attempt to see how stupid and insulting a motion picture can be and still be a big hit. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com Taken 2 is more of the same, except a little bigger, a little dumber, and a little less invigorating. James Berardinelli-ReelViews So lazily put together that it relies on flashbacks from its predecessor for the majority of its character development. Dana Stevens-Slate Neeson, despite having turned 60 in June, looks spritely enough in the role, and more than capable of another go-round should Taken 2 match its predecessor's success. Charles Gant-Variety As much as this picture is action driven, its greatest delights are grounded in personality, in the fun of having a protagonist who combines homespun values with velociraptor functionality. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle "Taken 2" is really, really goofy -- it's even goofier because it thinks it's about the futility of vengeance -- but Liam Neeson almost makes you buy it. Tim Grierson-Deadspin Taken 2 is content to play out as a familiar and lesser version of its predecessor. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Good action. Neeson rocks as the death-dealing American ex-spy. What else do you need? Maybe "Taken 3″ isn't such a bad idea. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers Taken 2 is a pointless sequel that tries to capitalize on everything that worked in the first film, without actually including any of it. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The proceedings don't flow with the raw urgency of the first film, taking on the forced tone of a Die Hard sequel. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine This is a halfway decent action film, but I do hope if they make another sequel of this, they make a better one. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope More is definitely less in this sequel. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Yeah, 'Taken 2' is pretty much the same movie that 'Taken' was. Like its predecessor, it's preposterous and over-the-top. And, boy, is this actioner ever just plain fun. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) If there were any justice in the world, this would be the movie inspiring mass riots. It's that bad. Rebecca Cusey-Patheos On the evidence of this cheesy sequel, Neeson is in danger of becoming the new Steven Seagal. Andy Lea-Daily Star Despite some pretty silly plot holes, this is a relatively entertaining hour and a half. Tony Medley-Tolucan Times If you lie with dogs, you get fleas; if you go to Europe with Liam Neeson, you get kidnapped. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) ... less credible, less suspenseful and less satisfying than it was before. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Unfortunately -- and somewhat embarrassingly for the human race -- there appears to be a sizable market for movies as blitheringly idiotic as this. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Like American filmmakers, it seems the French don't know when to quit, either. Dan Lybarger-KC Active There's an endless car chase that somehow manages to run 100 minutes in a 90-minute movie. Unless my math is way off, in which case it just felt that way. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Hard-luck bodyguard Liam Neeson is back in action, this time tracking down his abducted wife in Istanbul in an efficient sequel to the hit Taken. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International Still delivers what the fans want to see: Liam Neeson being a total badass. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz Neeson Caters to his Audience in Taken 2.

Review For Red Dawn
It's Friday Night Lights territory, but without good writing or acting. Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine Red Dawn suffers from a number of serious problems. The first, and most obvious, is that this is mini-series material compressed into a 95-minute movie. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Take that, screaming North Koreans with no agenda! Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly Preposterously insincere ... Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail John Milius's 1984 cult classic about American teens battling a Soviet invasion has been reinvented as a Tea Party wet dream that offers a scathing (if completely illogical) indictment of the federal government. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader Hobbled by a laughably bad script and a uniformly uncharismatic cast. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Ridiculously violent for the certificate and wholly implausible in its set up, Red Dawn is the kind of gung-ho action thriller for people with sawdust for brains. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail In the wake of the Oscars, we have an early contender for worst film of the year. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire It is a foolish, ill-considered undertaking, the unexpected topicality of which makes it all the sillier. Philip French-Observer [UK] This dismal remake of the overrated '80s cult flick is littered with the type of nausea-inducing patriotic dialogue lampooned by the likes of Team America: World Police. Ben Rawson-Jones-Digital Spy While it does have its inherent flaws, it proves to be much better than the original... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed The action is generally well-staged, although watching teenagers building car bombs and cracking jokes about Call Of Duty feels like something to be endured rather than enjoyed. Graeme Virtue-The List Hollywood's cynicism knows no bounds. They're now remaking bad movies too. Shaun Munro-What Culture From its doomsday narrative and tired action set pieces, Red Dawn represents the lowest common denominator of dumb action movies. Alex Zane-Sun Online This has to be the year's most pointless remake: a boring and badly acted reboot of John Milius's gung-ho red-scare actioner from 1984. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] The enemy may have changed, but the same fatuous paranoia, flag-fluttering patriotism, and flimsy grip on international politics remains. John Nugent-The Skinny With any luck this will be the spanner that finally jams up the works of Hollywood's dangerously overcranked '80s remake Wurlitzer. Adam Lee Davies-Little White Lies You're constantly asking yourself 'Will it matter if I leave half-way through this film?"?! Stefan Pape-HeyUGuys The concept is, undeniably, ridiculous, and the plotholes plentiful if one cares to look hard enough. But Red Dawn zips along at such a pace it's hard to notice. -Sky Movies Long-delayed. Arguably not long enough. Nick De Semlyen-Empire Magazine Dan Bradley's Red Dawn does a fine job distancing itself from the original, but while doing so becomes a mostly mindless action picture with a rather shallow message. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The doltish, messy and frequently incoherent result bears all the hallmarks of a botched and compromised endeavour. Neil Smith-Total Film Chris Hemsworth continues his quest to try to become this generation's Patrick Swayze with this bizarre and unnecessary remake of the 1984 slice of Cold War paranoia. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine It's rubbish . . . and its sheer chutzpah makes it insulting as well! James O'Ehley-Sci-Fi Movie Page Unfortunately unexciting remake of the 1984 junk-culture cult classic about a bunch of American teens who fight back after America is invaded by Communists. Yes, Communists... This could have been fun. Jim Schembri-3AW

Watch Rust and Bone A struggling single father helps a beautiful whale trainer recover her will to live following a terrible accident that leaves her confined to a wheelchair. Lonely and destitute, Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves the north of France for his sister's house in Antibes after becoming the sole guardian of his estranged five-year-old son Sam. When Ali lands a job as a bouncer in a nearby nightclub, things quickly start to look up for the itinerant father and son. Then one night, after breaking up a fight in the club, Ali meets the radiant Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), and slips her his number after dropping her off safely at home. Though Stephanie's position on the high end of the social spectrum makes romance an unlikely prospect for the pair, a tragic accident at Marineland robs her of her legs, and finds her reaching out in desperation to Ali. Her spirit broken by the same tragedy that took her legs, Stephanie gradually finds the courage to go on living trough transcendent moments spent with Ali -- a man with precious little pity, but an enormous love of life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi.

Review For Rust and Bone
The movie wanders off course in the final act, as if none of its three screenwriters could quite figure out how to end it. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald "Rust" has some lovely scenes - Alain carrying Stephanie out to the sea - but it seems to wander off in search of something it already has, and in wandering, it loses its way. Tom Long-Detroit News "Rust and Bone" seems to wander unexpectedly into its heart; it feels organic in its casual unfolding, like life itself. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times You couldn't ask for a more random relationship, but "Rust and Bone" slowly, almost magically, gives it meaning, symbolism, even a kind of symmetry. Rafer Guzman-Newsday The masterful writer-director Jacques Audiard draws vivid performances from Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts for this gripping French romance about the body and the soul. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader When Rust and Bone tells a story of a woman's recovery from a devastating injury, it hits all the right notes, traveling a path that is poignant without being mawkish and triumphant without being saccharine. James Berardinelli-ReelViews The film achieves what all dramatic films should strive for: complete audience empathy for the main characters. I cared for these two so deeply, and the many, many moments of quiet triumph gave me rushes of joy. A beautiful triumph of precision. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) Rust and Bone is an unsentimentally lyrical triumph, unexpected in every way. Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground For a film that deals in different forms of agony it's rather pleasant. A portrait of family that's refreshing with the right emotional punch. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Pulsates with life, romance, and bare-knuckle boxing Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit This multi-layered film with its characters tossed like flotsam on fate's giant, unpredictable waves drenches us in the intimate details of characters Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Two damaged souls find solace together in this gritty drama in which physical pain and disfigurement play a key role ... a stunningly delivered exposition Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Audiard crafts a film with logical scenic construction yet surprising turns of events, with the drama never devolving into melodrama. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Rather like a persuasive pick-up artist, I'm not sure Rust & Bone is a film I'd want to spend a second night with, for fear of shattering the emotional illusion. Catherine Bray-Film4 A 'Salt of the Earth' saga plumbing the depths of the human soul. Kam Williams-AALBC.com Through restraint, French director Jacques Audiard does a better job of tugging on viewers' hearts than most filmmakers can achieve with excess. Dan Lybarger-KC Active Filmmaking this self-indulgent screams "refund" in any language. Rick Kisonak-Film Threat In 'Rust and Bone,' Marion Cotillard loses both legs but retains her hotness. This might seem like an inappropriate observation, but it's very much to the point of this very physical French romance of redemptive suffering from director Jacques Audiard. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) This is a very different film to Audiard's most recent release - the impressive A Prophet - but it has a similar sense of maturity about it, and could well have acting awards aplenty heading its way in the coming months. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire The strength of director Jacques Audiard's film is that he refuses to elicit pity from the audience for his protagonists. Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Like a carnival barker or presidential candidate, Rust and Bone promises far more than it delivers. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Though Stéphanie's legs are removed from sight through the wonders of digital film effects, the character will remain in your consciousness like a phantom limb. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Marion Cotillard impresses in this intimate, harsh and realistic study of two troubled souls. Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer The story is what it is, and other than the ridiculous ending crisis, isn't bad. What drives the film is Marion Cotillard's acting. Gary Wolcott-Tri-City Herald It moves at its own, often slow pace, but Marion Cotillard gives another great performance and the visual effects that turn her into a double amputee are astonishing. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune

Review For Not Fade Away
The movie is a psalm to those who, far from pursuing the path of the Rolling Stones, stayed trapped under a rock. Anthony Lane-New Yorker This film could have been -- should have been, even -- something special. But it's not. Ricardo Baca-Denver Post The period details are spot-on and the soundtrack is great. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Yes, it's about rock and New Jersey, but it's also about getting a life going and dreaming, and that's timeless, classic stuff. Tom Long-Detroit News Well-observed but occasionally disjointed, it's a film that's more about thematic tone, sound and images than it is driven by plot. Claudia Puig-USA Today There are plenty of laughs along with the melodrama as the band and its members struggle through young adulthood. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic Sopranos creator David Chase returns to New Jersey, but his film loses its way Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit An exhilarating rush of keenly observant, sometimes barbed, occasionally funny and often poignant detail, and all of it feels right. Neil Pond-American Profile Unfortunately, Chase's failed group is no more interesting than one you or your friends might have played in. Dan Lybarger-KC Active Beautifully captures the impact of the British rock 'n' roll invasion on young teens in the suburbs (I was there). . .But even with accurate details, the film loses its way. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com While it has a personal feel, the performances are a mixed bag and it too often resorts to nostalgic cliches, especially when the music isn't playing. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com ...a rollicking comedy about growing up and striking out Chris Barsanti-PopMatters Not Fade Away is about the imperishable idea of youth and the promise of endless wide-open possibility. Time will always be on its side. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express Not Fade Away is intimate, episodic and achingly poignant. It's also woefully insubstantial. Chase has created less of a dramatic narrative and more of an awkwardly paced, formulaic collage. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Good- although I think it would work better as a TV series. I wish there was a season 2. Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium I don't mean to belittle the memory of an entire decade, except when I do. Pete Vonder Haar-Houston Press Because its more about intertwining themes than it is about obvious plot and conflict, it has melancholic energy. It revels in the mystery, appreciation, and ultimately creation of art-from a guy who was empowered and inspired by rock himself. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com A wistful, bittersweet remembrance of the emerging '60s counterculture. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate Not Fade Away is the greenest film of the new year, recycling '60s cliches with alacrity. Christian Toto-Big Hollywood God save us from boomer nostalgia and its endless idealization of the '60s. Jeff Meyers-Orlando Weekly Rock & roll is salvation, rebellion, fun, sex, and the greatest middle finger ever extended by one generation at another. If you actually believe all of that, even a little bit, David Chase's far-from-perfect Not Fade Away is hard to dislike. Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide It's not a great film, but perhaps Chase is the victim of impossibly high expectations. Dale Roe-Austin American-Statesman The story is unfocused and, at times, directionless. Characters disappear.And, the whimsical ending seemingly comes out of nowhere.The best I can do is give "Not Fade Away" a marginal recommendation. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers People get high or get cancer or get carried away to mental institutions and hospitals, but we know too little about them to care. Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer

Review For Flight
'Flight' is predictable in its plotting and soft in its conclusions. But thanks to that dynamite opening and Washington's effortless performance, it's also an enjoyable, compelling slice of old-school melodrama. Tom Huddleston-Time Out At a certain point, great actors want to show us the truth of something that may be far from their lives but that somehow they understand, intimately, all too well. David Denby-New Yorker Flight is a well-made motion picture, but not a fun or entertaining one. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Denzel Washington gives one of his most nuanced and impressive performances. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com This is Washington's movie from beginning to end, and full of little layers. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger An old-fashioned drama and all the better for it. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Not the most compelling portrait of addiction, but it's a satisfactory one. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight The powerful pull of the bottle is conveyed with considerable force...The character fits Washington like a tailored strait-jacket, possibly because he's worn it before. Jim Schembri-3AW Robert Zemeckis boldly returns to live action with a soaring drama that exceeds expectations thanks to Denzel Washington's Oscar-nominated performance. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered If you've got the nerve, buckle up. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail In John Gatin's script not only have Robert Zemeckis and Denzel Waashington found an outlet to profess their spirituality, but they also deliver some of their best work. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews An extremely entertaining watch, if not a wholly empathetic experience. Dominic Corry-Flicks.co.nz [E]nds up saying, [Expletive] those people who want more than a nice risk-free complacent ending. MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher Zemeckis - who hasn't directed a live action film since 2000's Cast Away - shoots the film as straight as possible. But that's not to say it's without wit. Michael Bonner-Uncut Magazine [UK] In Flight Zemekis and co. have achieved something braver than the familiar "drugs are bad mmmk" chestnut, creating one of Hollywood's most vivid portrayals of a functional alcoholic character, and asking us not to judge him not by his addiction. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey There's no doubt that audiences used to him as Malcolm X or 'Hurricane' Carter will be appalled by the sight of him completely off his face. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up A borderline farcical approach to addiction that's so heavy-handed it could be added to the weight program at a gym Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Flight may begin on a glorious high, but the long hangover that follows is a prime example of mainstream Hollywood dramatic filmmaking at its most cartoonish. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman Denzel Washington tosses another remarkable performance onto the pile, playing an alcoholic pilot who improbably navigates his rickety aircraft to safety amid a terrible storm. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Zemeckis generally sustains the tension, though the movie is overlong and the full implications of the drama are never fully confronted. But Washington is always there, a substantial antihero with a genuinely tragic dimension. Philip French-Observer [UK] t is hard to think of a film as weirdly paced or as oddly structured as Robert Zemeckis's largely successful return to live-action drama. Donald Clarke-Irish Times ...isn't true to the hard work of confession. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm Here, after the truly alarming crash sequence, there are no special effects, just deft and committed film-making, letting us see steadily in long takes. David Sexton-This is London "God help me" cries Denzel, as he contemplates his ruinous addiction but it might have been better if he'd helped us by instructing Zemeckis and Gatins not to be so heavy handed in the religious symbolism department. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray With another deeply committed performance, Washington brings badly needed complexity to what is otherwise a contrived, overstated drama about addiction. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Thankfully, anchoring it all is Washington. Alex Zane-Sun Online

Review For Cloud Atlas
A film which piles on the action, the romance, the philosophical inquiry and the silly accents until the viewer is left punch-drunk and reeling. Seriously, what's not to love? Tom Huddleston-Time Out They key to successfully absorbing the movie may be in not trying to overthink what's on screen. James Berardinelli-ReelViews An eminently peculiar mismatch of substance and form, like a Hallmark card written by David Foster Wallace. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic The result is maddening, exasperating, occasionally exhilarating -- and mostly boring. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor For all the spectacular settings and visionary designs, Cloud Atlas left me feeling disconnected Peter Travers-Rolling Stone Felicitous moments can't break through the dark nebula of self-importance around Cloud Atlas ... Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Despite the fact that ot sometimes looks like $102 million celebrity dress up party where Tom Hanks got a really good bulk deal on latex noses Cloud Atlas sometimes strikes moments of sheer beauty. Marc Fennell-Triple j A little too unfocused at times, there's something deeply involving about this time-spanning romantic thesis. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight An epic, genre-hopping, unique adventure that effectively shoe-horns six films into one...Cloud Atlas achieves that rarest of all things for a film this big: it is engaging and consistently entertaining as well as providing brain food. Jim Schembri-3AW ...few films have ever been this weird, this epic and this disjointed. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat It's not often we're given something that looks so dazzling, features such an impressive, eclectic cast, and which will leave your noggin buzzing with ideas. James White-SFX Magazine For a long, sprawling, high-concept, philosophical, stylistic mash-up of a film, Cloud Atlas is impressive and thought-provoking without ever being pretentious. Tim Martain-The Mercury A think piece linking past, present and future that's surprisingly haunting and moving in its delivery. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age Cloud Atlas is like nothing I've ever seen before. It's a bold cinematic treasure from a brave collaborative filmmaking collective. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Editor Alexander Berner has interwoven these narratives and by cutting back-and-forth between them at a rapid pace, created something that will hold your attention for three hours. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane A compelling, uncynical, often thrilling package, the likes of which we've never seen before, and will perhaps never see replicated. I will watch Cloud Atlas more than once. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Tykwer and the Wachowskis are aiming for greatness here. They don't make it, and that leaves the unorthodox film open to savagery, far more than it deserves. Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground The finished product is no Matrix, but it's certainly worth a look - even if you do find yourself throwing popcorn at the screen from time to time. Tara Brady-Irish Times Large-scale mainstream moviemaking of a type that could be just as easily be celebrated or castigated as a filmmaking folly. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman It has a certain grandeur, if ultimately it's an inspiritingly ambitious folly. Philip French-Observer [UK] Tykwer and the Wachowskis take Mitchell's complex narrative and give it breathtaking momentum on screen. Admittedly, they lose the novel's element of dazzling pastiche, but they bring out its qualities of rollicking adventure and cliffhanging suspense. Jason Best-Movie Talk Brilliant or pretentious - or both? An avalanche of ideas cascade relentlessly in this full throttle and stimulating film that is often frustrating and overlong, as it puts forward its proposition that we are all connected. Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile In many respects, it's exceptional - both in concept and execution. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Mad geniuses Tom Tykwer (Perfume) and the Wachowski siblings (The Matrix) boldly take on David Mitchell's layered epic novel, which connects six generations through the power of storytelling. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com This demands your attention for its entire running time, but rewards you with a truly moving climax. Alex Zane-Sun Online Fantasy-fiction audiences might enjoy seeing Cloud Atlas repeatedly, I suspect, picking up more clues each time. David Sexton-This is London

Review For Hitchcock
Scatty, intriguing but slightly undercooked ... Trevor Johnston-Time Out The movie spends too much time off the set of Psycho, where the real story was, and focuses instead on incidental matters that feel like outtakes. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald An overly literal idea of the brilliant director, but an entertaining visit to the set of a horror classic. Rafer Guzman-Newsday Filmed with lots of style and a macabre sense of humor the master himself would have enjoyed. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com It's tough work giving good face to an iconic role, yet Johansson manages to show Leigh as a thoughtful professional aware of the interpersonal booby-traps set by her director for his leading ladies. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Hopkins has been fitted out prosthetically to resemble Hitchcock and he does a reasonably good job of impersonating him, but it's a foredoomed effort. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor A half-hearted, clunky stab at psychodrama. Andrew Simpson-Fan The Fire Hopkins' performance makes "Hitchcock" as much fun as one of the old episodes from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." James Plath-Movie Metropolis This piece of Oscar bait didn't catch any nibbles, but still stood out as one of the better movies to drop during last year's awards season. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com A rare treat offering peeks behind the scenes and behind the closed doors of a legendary director and the love of his life. Kam Williams-NewsBlaze Alternatively devilish, wry, soulful, and witty, Hitchcock presents a singing celebration of one of cinema's great unsung collaborations Lisa Elin-We Got This Covered All we mostly get to see is the sad, silent contemplation of an old, weary, prosthetically constructed man Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk Occasional flair and an A-list cast are simply not enough to carry this erratic origins story. Tara Brady-Irish Times With Hitchcock, Gervasi, maker of beguiling rock documentary Anvil, has come up with a breezy entertainment rather than an in-depth biopic. You won't find any real insights into Hitchcock's filmmaking process or his psyche. Jason Best-Movie Talk Hitchcock is both polished and crude, its accurate research not matched by original insight. Philip French-Observer [UK] Here's a film fact you should tell your friends: Alfred Hitchcock was given his first directing job by... a Brummie. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail "A nice, clean, nasty piece of work" is how Hopkins' stand-in describes the superior film within the film. Gervasi's movie is just nice and clean and that's not nearly Hitchcockian enough for a film that carries the name. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray I'm not really sure what the point of the movie is beyond giving Alma her rightful place in film history and putting her over-praised hubby back in his place - if what the picture depicts is true. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Despite amusing moments and a sprinkling of catnip for film buffs, Hitchcock is disappointingly inconsequential. Andrew Collins-Radio Times What Gervasi and his scriptwriter John McLaughlin bring to the table are banality and predictability, quintessentially non-Hitchcockian qualities. David Sexton-This is London What could have been an intriguing look at how Alfred Hitchcock created one of his most iconic masterpieces is instead turned into a gently entertaining romp. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Hitchcock remains an enjoyable film. A film about Hitchcock this may be, but not necessarily a film for Hitchcock fans. Stefan Pape-HeyUGuys An enjoyable and humorous Hopkins and another wonderful performance from Mirren make this film quietly watchable. Alex Zane-Sun Online A disappointing excursion into movie history. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Sacha Gervasi's muddled but endearing biopic of/homage to The Master of Suspense. Chris Fyvie-The Skinny Gervasi misses a fine opportunity, wasting the acting talent he has assembled with a disappointingly ordinary film about an extraordinary man making one of cinema's most exceptional movies. Michael Papadopoulos-Sky Movies

Review For Frankenweenie
Tim Burton's most enjoyable movie in a long time. Tom Charity-CNN.com Burton's best film since 1994's Ed Wood or even 1990's Edward Scissorhands. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic This is a Tim Burton film with something to say. And that's a rare and precious thing. Dave Calhoun-Time Out The stop-motion animation - a favorite tool of Burton's - is given loving attention, and the character design is full of terrific touches, such as the hulking flat-topped schoolmate who looks a bit like a certain man-made monster. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The best thing about an animated monster movie with this much heart is: It's alive. In the best possible way. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald This 3-D, black-and-white "family" comedy is the year's most inventive, endearing animated feature. Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine ... a padded short story that didn't require embellishment... looks very weak directly compared to the sheer brilliance of the similarly themed ParaNorman. Kevin A. Ranson-MovieCrypt.com The real audience here is Burton fans (add an extra star to this review if you're a Burton fan). Matt Neal-The Standard Something of a return to form for Tim Burton, Frankenweenie plays like a Greatest Hits by way of his early work. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor A remake of not one Tim Burton movie, but all of them. Bill Chambers-Film Freak Central Actively frustrating and a tedious experience to endure. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire "Frankenweenie" is not just cute, it's weird. And, I love it. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers A bittersweet and delightful bit of animated fare... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed The heedlessly macabre tone treats its audience with respect without slavishly condescending to kiddos for easy chuckles, and the visual style is elegant and haunting. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Compared to the shorter and more to the point original, the expanded Frankenweenie is padded and less focused, meandering from a simple path of what was a clever parody/homage. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Tim Burton's Frankenweenie embodies the excitement, innocence, awkwardness and imagination of childhood. Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman Extended to feature length, the premise doesn't thin out but gains substance and momentum. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix "Frankenweenie" isn't Burton's best work, but it's still a solid outing for the strange, death-obsessed director. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Disney should've had more faith in this premise back in 1984, when it mattered, instead of shocking it back to a bigger life now... Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com Victor's relationship with Sparky is lovely, even when the revivified dog corpse is stitched together with thick black thread and his tail or ear falls off. Cynthia Fuchs-Time to Play Magazine While not a true original in its own right, and therefore not a classic, it is still classic Burton with his creepy, kooky trademarks, so we'll take it. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Maintains the legitimately dark tone of the original short while expanding the narrative in a pleasingly Scissorhands-esque direction. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture In the very best sense, the film is wall-to-wall eye candy. Jim Schembri-3AW 'Frankenweenie' is far from his best, but it is a timely reassurance that the old Tim Burton still exists and may be able to work his black magic again. Jeffrey Westhoff-Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) Beautiful, technically astonishing animation and the emotional whack of a lightning bolt cannot quite hide the stitches holding together a paucity of ideas and humour. Iain Gray-Film4

Watch Pitch Perfect Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect. When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college a cappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both. -- (C) Universal.

Review For Pitch Perfect
'30 Rock' and 'New Girl' writer Kay Cannon has created brilliant characters. Cath Clarke-Time Out The girls, for the most part, are genuinely funny, weird, real, and, most excitingly, confident. Laura Beck-Village Voice Warblers win the day in this sweet-natured film (based on a swell behind-the-scenes book by Mickey Rapkin) about the life and loves of collegians from competing a-cappella groups. Bruce Diones-New Yorker This is one of the strangest and also one of the more entertaining movies of the year. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Cannon doesn't go in for rococo hipster badinage in the vein of Diablo Cody. She can pare down a joke to its essence ... David Edelstein-New York Magazine What we have here is a not-very-funny college comedy for tweens, full of unappealing characters (and although the musical arrangements are fun, some truly unimaginative choreography). Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger On paper, this all looks oh-so High School Musical: The College Years, but the beauty of Pitch Perfect is they way it turns its formulaic moments into unexpected hilarity. Matt Neal-The Standard Mostly works because the characters are engaging and the musical performances well-chosen and well-done Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell Is Pitch Perfect this year's Bridesmaids? If by that we mean a thoroughly likable and surprisingly funny comedy, then yes, I suppose it is. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire The sung numbers are pretty dreadful but you can't have everything. Derek Malcolm-This is London It's 80% affectionate parody of this sort of musical, but the numbers are taken seriously and are admirably choreographed, and the performances are sprightly. Philip French-Observer [UK] ( ... ) after several years of Hollywood digging into ever deeper wells of gross-out smut, this is a real reversal of fortune. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail There are things to whinge about here. But Pitch Perfect proves impossible to resist. Donald Clarke-Irish Times It's a lightweight confection, but Pitch Perfect is great fun while the fat lady (and the skinny one) sings. Karen Krizanovich-Radio Times As far as the so-called humour goes, we're operating on a sliding scale from lazy to downright offensive. Emma Dibdin-Digital Spy Even if Pitch Perfect doesn't stand up to much scrutiny, it's still an enjoyable romp on the surface. Joe Cunningham-HeyUGuys There are great moments and the songs are well put together and catchy. Alex Zane-Sun Online It's like a superior, wittier double-episode of Glee. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] The song's the same, but Pitch Perfect is a great cover version. Henry Barnes-Guardian [UK] Amusing though the movie can be, there's something missing in the warmth department. Like songs without accompaniment, its jokes lack any charm or liking for the characters. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph The plot won't surprise but it's fun and freaky in equal measure. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express The Spinal Tap of unaccompanied singing. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Hugely enjoyable comedy that hits all the right notes, thanks to a razor-sharp script, impressively staged musical numbers and a pair of brilliant comic performances from Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Kendrick's alt-girl good-naturedly holds it all together, leaving room for Australian star Wilson to really shine with some inspired improv while comedy nuggets are strewn elsewhere ... Tim Evans-Sky Movies Oh, the gag-packed trailer spoiled the entire film. David Jenkins-Little White Lies Pitch Perfect is the most musical fun we've had since Hairspray. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
