I could learn a lot more about Winehouse by listening to her music than by watching this by-the-numbers sketch of her adult life.

At best, it can be considered as an adequate thriller/comedy chock full of generic action and stale humor.

It is never a good sign when any documentary elements of a bio-pic are more arresting than the dramatized portions.

More of a big screen cartoon than a legitimate animated feature, this sixth outing for Gru and his Minion cohorts shows how overextended the franchise has become.

Although not a complete failure to launch (thanks primarily to the charisma and energy of Johansson), neither does it have the thrust to make it into orbit.

After 40 years and four movies, "Ghostbusters" is starting to feel as long-in-the-tooth as the returning members of the main cast.

The charm of the book is mostly lost in translation although that might not bother younger, less discriminating viewers.

The narrative is all over the place. Character motivation is confusing. And, worst of all, the story simply is not interesting.

The experience of watching "Joker: Folie a Deux" argues against its very existence.

At its best, this can be enjoyable in an undemanding sort of way. At its worst, it is damn near unwatchable.
