    The film gets an impressive amount of mileage and you never really feel like it's dragging.

    American Pie for grown ups.
  • 50/50 (2011)
    Review preview for 50/50

    Like several genre-splicing and convention-lampooning comedies of late, the film tries to have its cake and eat it, but this can leave both sides of the recipe feeling half-baked.

    David Graham · 3 out of 5
    An original story of friendship, love and survival - and finding humour in the most unlikely places.
  • Bad Neighbours (2014)
    Review preview for Bad Neighbours

  • Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope (2011)
    Review preview for Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope

    It's easy to charm an audience with warm-hearted stuff like this. Where Spurlock really succeeds is in cramming so much meaningful information into his deceptively lightweight film.

  • Dr Seuss' Horton Hears A Who! (2008)
    Review preview for Dr Seuss' Horton Hears A Who!

    A pleasantly entertaining film which will amuse children without greatly distressing adults. What's unfortunate is that it isn't nearly as entertaining as it ought to be.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5
    Horton the elephant discovers a tiny world and strives to protect it from those who won't believe in it.
  • The Fabelmans (2022)
    Review preview for The Fabelmans

    The trademark Spielberg visual flair is there from the outset and keeps this film interesting at times when the narrative is moving slowly, or when it lapses into melodrama.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    Growing up in post-World War Two era Arizona, a young man named Sammy Fabelman discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth.

  • The Green Hornet (2011)
    Review preview for The Green Hornet

    Martin Gray · 2.5 out of 5
    After his father dies a man decides to fight crime.
  • The Invite (2026)
    Review preview for The Invite

    Wilde's direction is assured, there's some gorgeous framing and frequent Rogen collaborator Adam Newport-Berra's camera makes the most of what's in front of it.

    Andrew Robertson · 3.5 out of 5

  • Kung Fu Panda (2008)
    Review preview for Kung Fu Panda

    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).

    Tony Sullivan · 4 out of 5

  • The Lion King (2019)
    Review preview for The Lion King

    It quickly becomes clear that Favreau’s approach to bringing the same lifelike animal CGI from The Jungle Book to The Lion King lacks one prime element that made the former a success – emotion from a human lead.

    John-Anthony Disotto · 2 out of 5
    Remake of the animated classic.

    Review preview for Long Shot

  • Observe and Report (2009)
    Review preview for Observe and Report

    I found myself half-laughing at moments of acidic and keenly observed characterisation before being blasted with horrific crassness and vicious violence.

    Though it's not on a par with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's best work, it's hard to imagine anybody not enjoying it.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
