If only it had been clever. Or well-acted. Or better conceived. As is, it's even worse than you might expect.

The winner is...? Certainly not the audience. Could have been fun were it not for the thick layer of smut coating virtually every scene.

Feels like something you'd see at a good science museum. Dino-crazy youngsters will love it, and their parents won’t mind it either.

Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" comes to life in a retelling that will have families laughing and singing, and hearts melting.

As a Christmas movie about the real meaning of Christmas, this a beautiful Christmas card of a film may well become a holiday classic.

This is not a message movie, not a film that makes us better people. This one is just for fun. And what a lot of fun it is.

I was expecting Chicken Run with a Thanksgiving twist. Instead, I got a mean-spirited tale that left a bad aftertaste.

Despite the grim setting and violence, it's a fun film for those who fondly recall the heyday of Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

Contains likeable characters pulling off jaw-dropping physical feats while teaching some valuable lessons about teamwork, too.

Intelligent, but not smart enough; appealing, but nothing really stands out. It's more Masterpiece Theater than major studio release.

Not a film for movie-goers looking for a heart-tugging story or an uplifting theme. But fans of British sci-fi and comedy will love it.

Sounds like a great American dream, and it is—but the filmmakers show us the downright ugly along with the good in this TV-ish biopic.

Not bad, but not awesome, and definitely below Disney standards for quality. It's cute, funny, sweet, and forgettable.

What is meant to be a family-friendly comedy sadly becomes a big blue blunder and waste of studio money.

Finally, the funny, fast-paced action movie we've been waiting for all summer has arrived.

It all began with a broken heart. Literally. The heart in question belonged to a little girl who would surely die without surgery.

In a way, this is a faith-based film. It's also scary, violent, and filled with images that I don't think anyone really needs to see.

There is neither grace nor forgiveness here, only revenge. In this story of a fight between man and 'god' it’s not clear who wins.
