Search: Starring Ben Stiller

The sense of a society eating itself alive on a gangsta myth is very strong.

Brad is a painstakingly developed character and one who is often sympathetic, if not exactly likeable, but he's also a character we've seen many times before.

David O Russell, however, has turned a difficult subject into an irreverent road movie that runs away with itself.

Baumbach has now reached a point where he is parodying himself, yet he still doesn't seem to have found his own voice.

This film sees the brothers right back on form but ringing a few changes and even making the odd serious point.

Norton and Stiller are fine with their buddy banter and Stuart Blumberg's script has its moments.

Those anarchic avians, the penguins, steal every scene they are in making them, to my way of thinking, the best additions to animated film since that coyote fancied roadrunner for dinner.

The balance of the super real with intricately timed artifice and how they collapse into each other is Baumbach's crown achievement.

Formulaically funny and kids will adore every derivative minute.

As painful as a kick in the pants.

The farce is underplayed, which is exactly right.

The film doesn't know what it's doing, or where it's going.

The film’s biggest strength is its imaginative special effects.

The special effects are truely magic

There are a couple of pretty funny moments but for the most part director Shawn Levy's comedy struggles to raise a wry smile.

Stiller, Paltrow, Murray and Luke Wilson needn't have bothered. Their characters are stuck in ruts.

Defect Six: how do you make a movie about losers that isn’t a loser itself?

He takes the antihero into areas of sad you never knew you wanted to avoid.

t's a slight premise, but it's played for laughs throughout, pastiching not only the TV show, but the buddy genre and the Seventies in general.

Little more than a set of sketches strung along a plotline that is gossamer light.

Sadly, despite plenty of obvious effort and passion, this film is not as hilarious as the early clips suggested.

The film has a great beginning, an okay middle and a stupid ending.

Tower Heist hangs on its fast pacing, its glossy look and the performances of the actors.

Can anything save this film? No.

This is Woody Allen territory, except not as funny

LaBute thinks the act of love is an oxymoron. If he wasn't so acerbic and witty, you would wash your hands, walk out and become a monk.

The humour exaggerates the worst excesses of Saturday Night Live.
