Search: Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar

As the plots begin to coalesce everything becomes far too overwrought.

Roger Kumble's screenplay lacks the finesse, charm and wit of Choderlos de Laclos's 18th century classic.

Despite genuinely scary moments, The Grudge 2 suffers from massive overkill and a plot that runs away with itself.

Eventually, as screenwriter Adam Sussman attempts to fit the disparate pieces of a farfetched storyline together, you know it’s nonsense and the moment is lost.

Catch one episode of this, and you are likely to be left in awe... catch more than on and you will start noticing the grinding repetitions.

Natural talent cannot entirely make up for lack of training and experience.

The film retains its cartoon quality, without winking at the audience or pretending it's all too silly for words.

When murder-most-foul becomes murder-most-samey, goose bumps flatten.

Perhaps most complex typographically.

Baldwin lifts the scenes he is in with his brand of easy charm an antidote to occasional outbreaks of cheese in the script.

The Turtles movie that I'd have loved as a boy.
