City Island is filled with assumptions, gorgeous location shooting, and various breakdowns.

The style at work here is far too much fun to ignore, and with few exceptions, it’s consistently the focus of the film.

Back-Up Plan is almost a total wash, saved ever so briefly by Anthony Anderson who plays a father at the playground…

Anything that can kill time in this lifeless, empty sequel was a good thing to the producers

How can you review Furry Vengeance?

The idea is this is supposed to be funny. It’s not.

Vacation may be one of the greatest American comedies, certainly underrated in this regard.

It’s as respectful a remake as you’ll find, just with a tweaked tone and more familiar cast.

What doesn’t work is the downtime, in which Josh Klausner’s script repetitiously uses the “out of touch” routine for some dialogue-driven laughs that aren’t there.

Just remember it’s only funny because it isn’t you (and because it’s Chevy Chase in his prime).
