Comedy
Juliet, Naked
A Nick Hornsby novel adaptation that approaches its subject matter of “wasted years” with wit and charm, but lacks some of the polish of his other adaptations.
Blinded by the Light
A warmhearted crowd pleaser with a few minor flaws.
Mr. Mom
About one step in quality higher than a made for TV movie.
Hologram for a King
A meandering, unfocused, absurdist movie with a few interesting ideas wasted on an uncompelling execution.
Overnight Delivery
This road trip romance misses the mark, off ramp, and exit.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Part road trip movie, part heist movie, all pretty underwhelming.
Royal Wedding
In this movie Fred Astaire is to musical comedy what Jackie Chan is to action comedy.
The Lady Eve
A fun subversion of the screwball comedy but not the top shelf rom-com its reputation would have you believe.
Being There
This Hal Ashby classic is, for my money, not nearly as clever as it, or other critics, seem to think it is.
Hustle
While it isn’t likely to snag any Oscars or climb the ranks of any all time great sports movie lists, this love letter to basketball is well worth a watch.
Pillow Talk
This romantic comedy classic has aged somewhat poorly; while the comedy still works, the romance has lost a lot of its luster.
City Lights
Consistently OK reads as surprisingly underwhelming when it is this critically adored titan of the silent era.
