4.5 of 5

“..will be watched every holiday season by children and adults alike - a holiday classic in the making...”
by JimmyO [Joblo]
3 of 4

“..there's more "wow" factor involved than genuine charm. It's fun-enough once, but repeat visits won't be necessary..”
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic]
Review rate : B

“..strong central characters and its delicate touch with humor and observation, and while it's a little soft in certain stretches, when it connects, there is magic here..”
by Drew McWeeny [HitFix]
2.5 of 4

“..seems as overloaded as a bulging Christmas stocking..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]
2.5 of 4

“..just a little something for the kids to put on their Christmas lists for holidays to come..”
by Tom Russo [Boston Globe]
“..colorful, strenuous and hyperactive fantasy, which has moments of charm and beauty but often resembles an exploding toy factory rather than a work of honest enchantment..”
by Justin Chang [Variety]
“..a lively but derivative 3D storybook spree for some unlikely action heroes..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]
0.5 of 4

“.."Rise of the Guardians" is so odd, it's like biting into what looks like chocolate ice cream and discovering it's peach. No, stranger than that: liver..”
by Kyle Smith [New York Post]

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..”

JACKIE :

WHITE FROG :

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..”

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]
