Search: Starring Jack Black

Like the man after whom it is named, is joyously camp and colourful, and not a little eccentric – even unhinged.

The film takes its name from a space defined by boundaries, but it doesn't even bother to colour inbetween the lines.

Oddball, endearing, and very, very funny.

It's hard to be tough on a film as warm-hearted as this one is in spirit - like Callahan, it's trying hard even when it fails.

Every one of the Lilliputian characters is so bland and personality-free that they could have been played by the creepy CG Jeff Bridges from TRON: Legacy.

One of the many reasons why High Fidelity is essential viewing is how well-observed it is when dealing with love and relationships.

The Holiday is a romantic comedy. You know what that means.

In the end, you care more about the acorn than the baby.

Bruce is always one step ahead, which keeps tension levels low.

If you liked the first film, this is a lot more of the same, with the curmudgeonly DeVito adding enjoyment to the framing sequences.

Entertaining, adventurous and funny, certainly not a mental whiteout as expected

Big is back.

A thoroughly enjoyable confection that will amuse the kids and provide some decent laughs for those of us for whom attempting a roundhouse kick would require pain medication and physical therapy (I know, I tried).

The vocal cast is star studded. Trouble is they are given too little to speak.

Margot ought to be a plum rôle, but Kidman withers it to a prune.

Black is back to his High Fidelity form - this comedy is dangerous - and both O'Hara and Lithgow give lessons in middle-aged angst, with hilarious effect.

Maya Forbes and Wallace Wolodarsky love their protagonist just a bit too much.

Fun to watch and a resourceful way to respond to the multi million dollar campaigns that were created in support of the proposition.

The fat-is-gross non-PC running gag trips up after half an hour.

This is career-breaking stuff for Black.

The creative spark lights no fires in this crib.

There are some great stories here, and whilst fans will already be familiar with many of them, they include a few surprises.

More two-dimensional than many of the videogames it borrows from.

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.

This might have seemed like a barrel of laughs but it's actually just a barrel of shit.
