Search: Starring Jon Favreau

As if it's not bad enough that Chef is marinated in sticky sentiment, Favreau's occasional attempts to sprinkle in heavy-handed drama make for a stodgy mix.

This is a movie for people who think that watching other people go through therapy is fun.

Comicbooks are not about credibility, but what's going on here is far harder to accept than Clark Kent wearing funny underpants.

Anonymously directed, mechanical and unsurprising and is aimed at the indiscriminate lowest common denominator.

Deadpool & Wolverine is more of the same.

The writers, Michael (The Player) Tolkin and Bruce Joel (Ghost) Rubin are award winners. Why have they churned out a run-of-the-mildew script that makes Volcano read like a tight human interest item?

It's big, it's flashy, it delivers on thrills, and it's almost completely character-free.

Things do explode. Lots of things. The difference between this and the previous outing is that we care why they're exploding and about the people who are standing next to them when they do.

Ultimately, I felt really good watching it.

Equivalent to easy listening.

A tighter focus on the misery that drives people may have made this a more indispensable glance at the industry, but for anyone with a love of comedy, it’s sure to harbour a few gems.

The humour is vicious and unpleasant.

More watchable than ever.

The script lacks any kind of wit and the plot is so careful not to dilute the treacly sentiment that it's not exciting.

The film steers clear of clichés.

The balance between the individual and the bigger picture is perhaps the greatest strength of Homecoming.

The film maintains an excellent blend of the domestic and the dramatic

Why is this so funny? Because it's true.

The ensemble playing is on a level of communication that hardly requires a script, flowing like sick down the front of a summer dress.

Consistently funny.

This is how you destroy people's dignity and make them yours, Scorsese seems to say.

It's the film's sheer lack of charm that proves terminal.
