  • 2 Days In New York (2011)
    Review preview for 2 Days In New York

    This was clearly a family affair for Delpy and a labour of love, but this film inevitably is taking a risk reheating the five-year-old meal that was 2 Days in Paris.

    Owen Van Spall · 2 out of 5
    Trouble brews for a New York couple when French relatives come to stay.
  • Amsterdam (2022)

    David O Russell's latest - a shaggy dog mystery with a deliberate air of penny dreadfuls - could do with more straightforward narrative and fewer screwball convolutions.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2.5 out of 5
    A trio of unlikely friends get mixed up in a murder plot with much wider implications.
  • The Aristocrats (2004)
    Review preview for The Aristocrats

    Never could the warning, 'Stay away if you're easily offended,' be more appropriate.

    David Stanners · 3.5 out of 5
    Documentary about a filthy joke, told by a succession of professional comedians.
  • Bad Company (2002)

  • Dogma (1999)
    Review preview for Dogma

    Why should a story about two angels who have been hanging around Wisconsin for aeons, bored rigid, and wanting to go home, be understandable?

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    The last known descendant of Christ has to stop a pair of errant angels from destroying humanity.
  • Down To Earth (2001)
    Review preview for Down To Earth

    The racist jibes aren't sharp enough. The love story beggars belief.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    Budding black stand-up comic is killed and comes back in the body of a nasty white billionaire.
  • Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
    Review preview for Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back

    This is either an inspired satire on the state of popular cinema, an ego-trip of mammoth proportions or a bucketful of vomit.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 1 out of 5
    Jay and Silent Bob go to Hollywood to try and stop a movie being made about them
  • Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
    Review preview for Lethal Weapon 4

    The real plot doesn't start for almost an hour and when it does is less interesting than a Roger Moore 007 caper.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    The ageing crime-fighting duo take on a Chinese crimelord.
  • The Longest Yard (2005)
    Review preview for The Longest Yard

    Josh Morrall · 2 out of 5
    Remake of the Burt Reynolds prison football drama of the Seventies - with jokes?
  • Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)
    Review preview for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

    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.

    Tony Sullivan · 4 out of 5
    Trouble brews when the New York Zoo animals try to head back to the Big Apple.
  • Madagascar (2005)
    Review preview for Madagascar

    Formulaically funny and kids will adore every derivative minute.

    Kotleta · 4 out of 5

  • Nurse Betty (1999)
    Review preview for Nurse Betty

    A waitress becomes obsessed with chasing her soap opera dreams after witnessing her husband's murder.
  • Osmosis Jones (2001)
    Review preview for Osmosis Jones

    It disappoints on two fronts. The directors, Bobby and Peter Farrelly, love vulgar so much they can't be anything else and the complexity of the human body is too wondrous for a bunch of animators to figure out.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2.5 out of 5
    Part animation/part live action story of junk food slob, played by Bill Murray, who contracts deadly virus.
