Search: Starring Marisa Tomei

As a romantic comedy, this slips into the smile zone easier than you might expect.

Christian Bale delivers his best performance for years as fund manager Michael Burry.

The way the plot manipulates every worst case scenario is fiendishly clever. Seldom has an ensemble cast meshed so effectively.

The 'love' on offer in this romcom that marks yet another notch of disappointment on Steve Carrell's career is neither crazy nor stupid, just cynical and schmaltzy by turns.

You have no idea how enjoyable this is

If the plot development lurks on cusp of credibilty, the characters feel genuinely complex and are given a real sense of humanity by Tomei Reilly and Hill.

As compulsive as a 40-a-day fag habit.

It is only sporadically involving with even the usually hypnotic Huppert struggling to make an impression.

The humour is so crass, to call it dumbed-down would be expansive.

Although the acting here is uniformly good, both Schreiber and Tomei struggle to bring much life to characters whose encounters with struggle come so late in life that they seem singularly unengaged with the world.

The first thing you notice about In The Bedroom is that it looks ravishing.

While the film is, indeed, freewheeling, some of us prefer to call it out of control.

McConaughey works above and beyond his usual remit to remind us that he can also convey a formidable intensity and subtle sensitivity.

Courageous and uncompromising

What should be a romantic mush cake, with lemon icing and a cherry on top, is treacle pud, with hot fudge and molasses.

Don't expect enlightenment or character finesse

I had to step aside to try to enjoy it as a thing itself and I'm not convinced I succeeded.

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

The cheesy subtext is obscured by gross-out verbal and visual display, which wears down resistance to the basic message of wholesome optimism that many teenagers would not be keen to admit.

Money is wasted on explosions and stunts when it should have been given to a script doctor.

Wild Hogs reflects Hollywood's attitude towards entertainment, without understanding that star names and a sound-bit scenario requires writers who know about comedy to make the thing fly.

The Thornberrys are a cartoon, of course. Their animation is less important than their sense of humour.

It is as though the cast and scriptwriters are constantly nodding to one another and admiring their own cleverness.

Helen Hunt looks more ravishing by the movie... Her acting is never lazy, nor lightweight.

Rourke brings a staggering amount of emotional weight to the role of Randy.
