Search: Starring Patrick Dempsey

Zellweger has impeccable comedic timing and the many small and big risks she takes with Bridget pay off.

A simple idea delivered so cleverly that it holds your attention from the opening of the storybook right up to its fairytale ending.

The car racing scenes are the best in the history of cinema.

Where the film succeeds beyond expectation is in its depiction of the kids and how the tribal lines are drawn in areas of this city where drive-bys are as common as parking tickets.

It's not quite as slick or sexy as the Ocean's movies, but it is steeped in personality.

If you're in the mood for a nicely crafted, well-acted, thoroughly entertaining time-filler featuring familiar faces who are well within their comfort zone, you could do far worse.

The humour is never allowed to knock the fear.

The film is so false, it's all cardboard and frills.

The comedy is not funny, the action is exhausting, and by the time its 156 minutes are over, you too will have been transformed into a dead-eyed machine that has lost the power or will to care.

It's not long before it all becomes delightfully self-mocking.
