  • About Time (2013)
    Review preview for About Time

  • The Boat That Rocked (2009)
    Review preview for The Boat That Rocked

    Feeling like watered-down Curtis, the jokes frequently fall flat and you keep waiting for the big laughs that we know he can deliver.

    Stephen Carty · 2.5 out of 5

  • Love Actually (2003)
    Review preview for Love Actually

  • We Are Still Here (2022)
    Review preview for We Are Still Here
