The Groomsmen (2006) Download Full

Like Schwartzman, Stiller devotes aptly excessive attention to the portrayal of a character too invested in trivial pursuits himself. It's the movie's one decent joke, but, in the absence of laughs, the most the actors can draw from it is a mere grin.. The movie snaps sharply to life every now and then, and its unfashionable decency really gets to you.. The revelations aren't all that surprising and the build-up isn't all that interesting. At least not as interesting as watching Lillard, of all ...

Bratz (2007) Play Streaming

A silly movie that's essentially a series of cliches strung together into a semblance of a movie.. . Manages to hold our attention for an entire 97 minutes, a feat that even metal bands with real Marshall amps are hard-pressed to accomplish.. Parents beware. Bratz will rot your child's mind, drain her soul and likely encourage early Botox dependency.. I found it mildly amusing. I didn't hate it.. Crossroads adopts such a self-important tone that it's embarrassing.. O.M.G! This movie is SO BAD!. ...

Pitch Perfect (2012) Watch Streaming

Not quite pitch perfect, but it's irresistible.. 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).. Cannon doesn't go in for rococo hipster badinage in the vein of Diablo Cody. She can pare down a joke to its essence .... "Pitch Perfect" doesn't take itself any more seriously than it has to, and has plenty of fun both sending up and celebrating its subject matter....

De-Lovely (2004) Full Movie Streaming

Bungled, empty and tortuously constructed.. Porter's songs keep much the film afloat when, otherwise, it would have sunk. No matter how turgid or murky the movie becomes, when the music starts, you're flying.. This hybrid of psychological investigation, musical celebration and period drama is a muddle.. Porter's music is made for movies, and just about anywhere else, but maybe the man himself wasn't.. This elegant production beautifully captures a time and place that no longer exists -- and perh...

Rudderless (2014) Watch Streaming

It's puzzling why a talent like Macy bothered with a project that is so long on sentiment and short on comic relief - and unclear on what it wants to say on a variety of hot-button topics.. [The movie] hauls out just about every showbiz cliche in the catalog.. While there are some bright notes in Cody's writing, the situations feel a little tired, and the characters unexplored.. At times the movie version of "Jersey Boys" captures the electric excitement of the musical, but for every soaring mom...

I Am Not A Hipster (2013) Play Movie

The title accurately reflects Brook's constant self-involved, self-protective pose, but both he and the film tightly focused on him would have so much more fun if they just pulled back a little, looked around, and reached out.. A deeper glimpse of the San Diego indie-rock scene around him might have made Brook's self-absorbed resentment less overbearing.. "I Am Not a Hipster" is the kind of lovingly crafted, deeply affecting drama that gives small indie films a good name.. It succeeds at times i...
