“..you get a lot to smile about..”
by Peter Howell [Toronto Star]
2 of 4

“..this might please young kids but torment discerning parents..”
by Jordan Riefe [Boston Phoenix]
“..the film's animation style is second-tier, lacking the attention to background detail of Pixar's efforts..”
by Brent Simon [Screen Daily]
“..passable animated entertainment is stronger on humor than adventure..”
by Stephen Farber [Hollywood Reporter]
Review rate : D+

“..offers crisp animation..”
by Laremy Legel [Film.com]
“..low-rent animation, this might please young kids but torment discerning parents..”
by Jordan Riefe [The Phoenix]
2.5 of 4

“..it still provides a few smiles, and a decent amount of rainy-day, kiddie entertainment..”
by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger]
“..has lots of high-flying escapades but fairly low aspirations..”
by Neil Genzlinger [NY Times]
“..feel-good but not cloying, zippy but not frenetic, and refreshingly free of snark, the default setting for a lot of kids' fare these days, the feature takes a pleasingly retro-futuristic stance on matters of decor and attitude..”
by Sheri Linden [LA Times]
“..a lightweight, warp-speed, brightly colored trifle that should delight small children and sporadically amuse their parents..”
by Joe Leydon [Variety]
2 of 4

“.."Earth" is something of a giant - OK, mini-giant - leap forward for The Weinstein Company. It's not much funnier than most of their earlier fare. But at least it's not as ugly as "Hoodwinked," "Doogal" and the rest..”
by Roger Moore [Movie Nation]

LATEST REVIEWS

BLACK ROCK :

“..is unable to shock, much less convince..”
by Rob Nelson [Variety]

ERASED :

“..engaging and enjoyable thriller, enlivened by a sharp script, pacey direction, solid action sequences and strong performances..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]

THE ENGLISH TEACHER :

“..is an affable if familiar high-school comedy populated by bright pupils, badly behaved teachers and amateur theatricals..”
by Scott Foundas [Variety]

FRANCES HA :

“..an exhilarating black-and-white New York seriocomedy from Noah Baumbach with a stellar star turn by co-writer Greta Gerwig..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

JACKIE :

“..is a fun film ... designed for you to not think to hard about..”
by Trista Devries [Thetfs.ca]

WHITE FROG :

“..it's no less potent in its emotions, though, and in a more measured, deliberate manner..”
by Peter Martin [TwitchFilm]

HE'S WAY MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU :

“..the farce is so light on its feet that it's buoyant..”
by Sheri Linden [LA Times]

REVENGE FOR JOLLY! :

“..I suggest you pass and maybe grab it from Redbox or VOD or something..”
by David Cantu [CinemaDeviant.com]

THE GREAT GATSBY :

“..a hugely elaborate, well-cast adaptation of an American classic that will provoke every possible reaction..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

PEEPLES :

“..Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
