Happy Feet (2006) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “The perfect film for audiences who found fault with March of the Penguins because it was too emotionally taxing and you couldn't dance to it.” – TV Guide Sep 10, 2008 Full Review The Ex (2006) 18% 2/4 EDIT “Bringing together a cast of experienced comic actors and a string of funny gags does not necessarily a good movie make.” – TV Guide May 11, 2007 Full Review Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007) 49% 2/4 EDIT “Only die-hard addicts of the Cartoon Network series will want to sit through the entire film for its amusing moments.” – TV Guide Apr 13, 2007 Full Review Meet the Robinsons (2007) 68% 2/4 EDIT “Leave your sense of logic at the door or you'll be driven to distraction by annoying 'How come...' questions.” – TV Guide Mar 30, 2007 Full Review TMNT (2007) 35% 1.5/4 EDIT “The film suffers from serious animation overkill: too much high-octane action, too many combatants, not enough of the hand-to-hand combat that made the Turtles unique in the first place.” – TV Guide Mar 23, 2007 Full Review Gray Matters (2006) 8% 2/4 EDIT “Sue Kramer is clearly out to shake up the boring old boy-meets-girl formula, but her movie is so filled with preposterous coincidence and ridiculous clunky plot machinations that it's impossible to ignore them and focus on the equally contrived story.” – TV Guide Feb 23, 2007 Full Review Bridge to Terabithia (2007) 85% 3/4 EDIT “[Actors] Robb and Hutcherson are the keys to the film's success: She has a refreshingly offbeat charm, and he smoothly handles emotional material that would be too daunting to many more experienced actors.” – TV Guide Feb 16, 2007 Full Review Because I Said So (2007) 3% 1.5/4 EDIT “What was Diane Keaton thinking when she signed on to play a shrill, off-putting mother whose unbelievable, over-the-top antics are utterly annoying to watch? Even the title is annoying.” – TV Guide Feb 2, 2007 Full Review Catch and Release (2006) 23% 2.5/4 EDIT “Given the film's complicated and ambitious opening, it's that more disappointing when it settles into the rut of 'happily ever after' cliches.” – TV Guide Jan 26, 2007 Full Review Arthur and the Invisibles (2006) 21% 2/4 EDIT “Succumbing to the in-joke trend popular in children's films, Luc Besson's visually attractive movie spoils its own fantasy spell with anachronistic references and a quickly resolved story line.” – TV Guide Jan 12, 2007 Full Review Yu-Gi-Oh! (2004) 6% 1.5/4 EDIT “While this probably constitutes a good tutorial in the trading-card game's lingo and lore, it's tremendously boring to watch an animated series in which most of the fighting doesn't even involve combat, just characters looking at cards.” – TV Guide Jan 8, 2007 Full Review Shut Up and Sing (2006) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “Academy Award-winning documentarian Barbara Kopple does an excellent job capturing the Chicks' thoughts, and uses judicious clips from political speeches to put Maines' off-the-cuff comment into context.” – TV Guide Oct 27, 2006 Full Review Flicka (2006) 54% 2.5/4 EDIT “Director Mayer knows how to tug at the heartstrings, and his admirably restrained cast keeps the family drama from becoming too sugary.” – TV Guide Oct 20, 2006 Full Review Open Season (2006) 48% 4/5 EDIT “Though silly and predictable, this animated comedy has stunning visuals, a catchy soundtrack and charming characters that are family-friendly crowd-pleasers.” – TV Guide Sep 29, 2006 Full Review Lassie (2005) 93% 3/4 EDIT “The 1943 Lassie Come Home, starring then-child actors Roddy McDowall and Elizabeth Taylor as Joe and Cilla, is widely considered the gold standard to which all dog movies should aspire, but Sturridge's remake is a fine film in its own right.” – TV Guide Sep 1, 2006 Full Review How to Eat Fried Worms (2006) 60% 3/4 EDIT “This cute lesson in standing up to bullies, based on the award-winning Thomas Rockwell book of the same name, is still tailor-made for its target demographic.” – TV Guide Aug 25, 2006 Full Review Surviving Eden (2004) 14% 2/4 EDIT “Only Lynch's over-the-top network executive stands out in this otherwise bland film that tries for satire but neglects to be funny.” – TV Guide Aug 25, 2006 Full Review Step Up (2006) 22% 1.5/4 EDIT “This teen drama may be filled with some great-looking dancing, but its hackneyed, predictable script is a giant step in the wrong direction.” – TV Guide Aug 12, 2006 Full Review Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) 72% 3/4 EDIT “Gentlemen and ladies, start your engines -- really. Will Ferrell's NASCAR comedy is worth getting revved up over, though non-Ferrell fans will be unimpressed no matter how many times he strips to his skivvies.” – TV Guide Aug 4, 2006 Full Review Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) 23% 1.5/4 EDIT “Moooove along, there's nothing to see here! With its blatant disregard for the laws of nature, gravity and good humor, this animated adventure is little more than a series of gags... loosely strung to the plot of The Lion King.” – TV Guide Aug 3, 2006 Full Review John Tucker Must Die (2006) 28% 3/4 EDIT “Teen comedies are notoriously predictable, and screenwriter Jeff Lowell isn't out to rock the genre boat, but his smartly written dialogue and the infectious charm of the cast, particularly Snow and Metcalfe, add up to a winning combination.” – TV Guide Jul 28, 2006 Full Review Just My Luck (2006) 14% 2/4 EDIT “Director Donald Petrie's niche seems to be lighthearted, instantly forgettable romantic fantasies like Miss Congeniality and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, and this sweet-natured bit of fluff fits right in.” – TV Guide May 12, 2006 Full Review Scary Movie 4 (2006) 34% 2/4 EDIT “For those jonesing for a loosely connected string of comedy sketches, heavy on the scatological humor, this is the fix.” – TV Guide Apr 14, 2006 Full Review Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005) 8% 1.5/4 EDIT “Unfortunately in this instance, more doesn't make merry, only mayhem.” – TV Guide Dec 21, 2005 Full Review Rent (2005) 46% 2.5/4 EDIT “Ultimately, the emphasis on flash disengages viewers from the story's emotional core, which is the exact opposite of what Larson intended.” – TV Guide Nov 23, 2005 Full Review
