Reviews

"The premise is damnably intriguing." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"If you can get past the plot holes and the copious time puns, In Time is actually rather brisk, enjoyable entertainment." - Christy Lemire, Associated Press

"The concept of the movie dovetails nicely with society's never-ending obsession with youth and our pursuit of ways to find more hours in the day, but somebody forgot to stop at the plot store on the way to the studio." - Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

"If only the ticking clock were more tightly wound; if only more time were used to develop the romance and relationships; if only dying didn't seem so easy." - Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

"Pretty cast. Potent premise. Piss-poor execution." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"It's a great idea that Niccol can't translate into a great movie." - Richard Corliss, Time Magazine

"Ace cinematographer Roger Deakins makes it all look exciting, but the rob-and-run action sequences are subpar." - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Timberlake, who had a scene-stealing turn as Napster mogul Sean Parker in "The Social Network," is a snooze in this role, not quite as wooden as Keanu Reeves but hardly making a case for himself as an actor." - Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic

"Unfortunately, as the film moves along, its brisk pace notwithstanding, too many issues come to weigh against it. As cleverly conceived as it is, the time-for-money substitution leaves a lot of questions unanswered." - Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

Reviews

"Hard to root for such a selfish lead, but "Bad Teacher" has just enough politically incorrect humor to warrant a grade of B." - Richard Roeper, richardroeper.com

"In spite of a promising concept and a charmingly brazen performance from Cameron Diaz, Bad Teacher is never as funny as it should be." - rottentomatoes.com

"Diaz performs with gusto, but the screenplay doesn't give her many funny things to say." - Eric Snider, film.com

"If you're looking for a funny comedy about a cynical, hard-partying school teacher transformed by his students into a paragon of pedagogical awesomeness, skip Bad Teacher and go rent School of Rock instead." - Dana Stevens, Slate

""Bad Teacher" immediately brings "Bad Santa" to mind and suffers by the comparison." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"Everyone loves an anti-hero, but usually there's something redeeming about the character that makes you want to root for them in the end. Not so much in Bad Teacher." - Adam Graham, Detroit News

"Bad Teacher is a promising concept in need of more promising material." - Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

"The best lines were harvested for the trailer -- so if you've seen that, you've seen it all." - Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle


Movie Info

Some teachers just don't give an F. For example, there's Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She's foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can't wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she's dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) - competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other. -- (C) Sony Pictures

Reviews

"This is a cute movie, a kid's movie, and a rather good one." - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

"There's nothing particularly inventive in the plot or grade-school humor, but the movie skates by on the timeless, undemanding charm of watching a tie-wearing bear try to steal people's lunches." - Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly

"Neither smarter nor dumber than the average family-friendly comedy." - Justin Chang, Variety

"Yogi Bear's 3D effects and all-star voice cast are cold comfort for its aggressively mediocre screenplay." - rottentomatoes.com

"A bland 21st-century family comedy without a single moment that captures the wit, energy or sophistication of the original, which by now dates back more than 50 years." - Mike Hale, New York Times

"Weak as they've been, the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movies are operating on a higher plane than this." - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

"Yogi Bear is a big boo-boo." - Claudia Puig, USA Today


Movie Info

Genre: Action & Adventure, Animation, Kids & Family, Comedy

Synopsis: Everyone's favorite pic-a-nic basket-stealing bear comes to the big screen in "Yogi Bear," a new adventure, filmed in 3D, that combines live action with computer animation. Dan Aykroyd stars as the voice of Yogi, Jellystone Park's notorious troublemaker, and Justin Timberlake as the voice of Boo Boo, Yogi's faithful pal and co-conspirator in his never-ending schemes to separate park visitors from their lunches. Yogi has always relied on his quick wit and fast feet to stay one step ahead of irate campers while dodging his long-suffering nemesis, Ranger Smith. But he and Boo Boo are about to face a situation worse than anything Yogi has ever gotten them into... Jellystone Park is being sold! To cover his mismanagement of city funds and fuel his election campaign, Mayor Brown plans to sell the park to loggers. Families will no longer be able to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors Jellystone has always provided--and, even worse, Yogi, Boo Boo, and all their friends will be tossed out of the only home they've ever known. Faced with his biggest challenge ever, Yogi must prove he really is "smarter than the average bear," as he and Boo Boo join forces with Ranger Smith to find a way to save the park from closing forever. -- (C) Warner Bros
