  • Bad Santa (2003)
    Review preview for Bad Santa

    The anarchic nature of this dark comedy is the perfect antidote to family friendly Christmas movies, starring Tim Allen, now that Macaulay Culkin has learnt to shave.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3.5 out of 5
    A foul-mouthed, child-hating, alcoholic safe-cracker dons a false beard for the in-store day job.
  • The Bad Guys 2 (2025)
    Review preview for The Bad Guys 2

    The Bad Guys 2 is proper entertainment.

    Andrew Robertson · 4 out of 5
    The Bad Guys are struggling to find trust and acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys, when they are pulled out of retirement and forced to do 'one last job' by an all-female squad of criminals.
  • Catwoman (2004)
    Review preview for Catwoman

    Catwoman is a hybrid of superhero/romance, with a feminist touch.

    David Stanners · 2.5 out of 5
    A weak-willed designer is murdered and reborn as Catwoman.
  • Christmas With The Coopers (2015)
    Review preview for Christmas With The Coopers

    You have no idea how enjoyable this is

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    The Coopers are falling apart in different, funny ways. Christmas doesn't help. It tries to paste over the cracks. Yo ho, indeed!
  • Family Guy Compendium (1999)
    Review preview for Family Guy Compendium

    Comedy perfection.

    Keith Dudhnath · 5 out of 5
    A surreal and downright hilarious look at the life of a cartoon family.
  • Family Guy: It's A Trap (2010)
    Review preview for Family Guy: It's A Trap

    It's A Trap! is unquestionably Family Guy's best-looking Star Wars special (and the first to be made in widescreen), but... there are just too many lazy jokes.

    Anton Bitel · 2 out of 5
    Last in the trilogy of the animation's Star Wars specials.
  • Family Guy: Season 1 (1999)
    TV animated series about a strange family that make The Simpsons look positively normal
  • Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side (2009)
    Review preview for Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side

    The parody startS to feel as though it is being stretched very thin.

    Anton Bitel · 2.5 out of 5
    The Family Guy crew feel the Force.
  • Killers (2010)
    Review preview for Killers

    Everything has a thrown-together feel, as the characters are tossed from romcom situations to action set-pieces and back again with no thought to applying any sort of grace notes to ease the transition.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2 out of 5
    Happy isn't so 'ever after' for a former government hitman and his unwitting wife.
  • The Lookout (2007)
    Review preview for The Lookout

    Certain scenes feel too glib and stagey, as though they’ve been doused with pop video gloss – particularly the snow, which surely had its own assistant, make-up artist and trailer.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3 out of 5
    A young man with head trauma gets involved in a heist.
  • Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (2005)
    Review preview for Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story

    This scatter-shot approach to comedy has all the sophistication of sticking a 12-bore into a crowd and pulling the trigger. Sure, you're going to hit everyone, but it's not very clever.

    Gator MacReady · 3.5 out of 5
    The Family Guy Movie.
