Critics agree that this film is both dark and funny, much like “Bad Santa,” a previous film by writers Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Jim Carrey stars in his most interesting role to date and delivers an extremely balanced performance that will assuredly win over audiences. The film tells the true story of Steven Russell, [...]

The winner of best narrative feature at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, “Tiny Furniture” is the feature film debut of writer-director Lena Dunham, who also plays a 22-year old version of herself in the film. With the way this movie feels, critics claim that Dunham could have just as easily been a successful [...]

As if this film’s cluster of stars – Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, and Jeff Goldblum – isn’t promising enough, “The Devil Wears Prada” scribe Aline Brosh McKenna wrote the script and Roger Michell (“Notting Hill”) directed. The main problem is, as talented as McKenna is, it’s difficult to transform a paper-thin romantic comedy [...]

Films like “Megamind” point to a disappointing reality in Hollywood: we’re starting to run out of movie ideas. What it lacks in originality, though, it definitely makes up for with its crisp visuals and myriad of celebrity voices.

Director Jonathan Lynn intends for “Wild Target” to be a comedy that focuses on different styles and genres. It is a remake of the 1993 French crime farce, “Cible Émouvante,” so its source material is relatively zany. Unfortunately, this film misses its mark. According to many critics, it lacks the charm and wit that audiences [...]

Much like Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” this likeable comedy approaches humor from a focus on social faux pas and uncomfortable scenarios. In 2009, the comedy’s charm earned it the Audience Award at the 2009 Slamdance Film Festival in Utah, Utah’s annual alternative to Sundance. “Punching the Clown” is a semi-biographical look at the life [...]

Love or hate the Jackass franchise, one would be hard-pressed to admit it’s not built for 3-D technology. Johnny Knoxville and his band of merry idiots have engaged in pranks and stuns from the silly to the downright dangerous. This installment promises to be the most revolting and grotesque to date, and audience are sure [...]
