The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) 82% EDIT “It’s all mostly warm and fuzzy until the film descends into multiple, tearjerking moments and trite resolutions. The performances are fine but after Mean Girls you may find this too sticky and sweet.” – The Times (UK) Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Reign Over Me (2007) 64% 2/5 EDIT “It's as if 9/11 was simply coopted to bring an extra weight to a script that couldn't be trusted to deliver on its own.” – The Times (UK) Apr 20, 2007 Full Review Fracture (2007) 72% 2/5 EDIT “It's enjoyable enough hokum” – The Times (UK) Apr 20, 2007 Full Review Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988) 80% 4/5 EDIT “If there's such a thing as anthropological poetry, this is it.” – The Times (UK) Apr 20, 2007 Full Review The Caiman (2006) 38% 3/5 EDIT “Some moments amuse but one's left wishing that Moretti had ditched his film-within-a-film framework and made either a documentary or a domestic drama.” – The Times (UK) Apr 7, 2007 Full Review Meet the Robinsons (2007) 68% 2/5 EDIT “Succumbs to the now standard overcaffeinated approach to storytelling that relies too much on rollercoaster thrills to stop the kids from fidgeting.” – The Times (UK) Mar 31, 2007 Full Review Private (2004) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Emotional and rational arguments fuel the occasionally heavy-handed script but the Israeli-Palestinian cast is strong in a film that shows how both sides are victims of violence.” – The Times (UK) Oct 11, 2005 Full Review 13 Going on 30 (2004) 65% 3/5 EDIT “The greatest asset is Garner, who invests Jenna with disarming winsomeness and loads of klutzy teen-like charm” – The Times (UK) Aug 6, 2004 Full Review
