Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Some of the camerawork and edits can be clunky, and the audience reactions distracting, but musical theater fans will relish the chance to see a near-perfect production of this Sondheim gem. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “Anniversary has the feel of a multi-episode (perhaps even multi-season) TV series that’s been chopped to feature-film length, drained of both subtlety and coherence.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Oct 31, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 3/5 EDIT “The overlong film, with its brutal fight scenes and hagiographic portrait of its hero, doesn’t go far enough to push the bounds of the sports biopic genre.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 4/5 EDIT “There are plenty of chuckles throughout... But it’s harder for the gang to crank up the laughs to 11 as the gang once did, and prolonged cameos by stars like Paul McCartney, 83, and Elton John, 78, tend to peter out like instrumental B-sides.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Eden (2024) 58% 4/5 EDIT “The fact-based film by Ron Howard... occasionally dawdles, but he keeps pulling you back with all the narrative twists and lush cinematography.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “The fascinating ethical questions are marred by an overintrusively melodramatic score... But Washington is electric, as is rapper and novice actor A$AP Rocky.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “There’s something amiss when the supporting cast -- including a scene-stealing superdog named Krypto -- upstages the title character for our admiration and affection. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Everything's Going to Be Great (2025) 56% 4/5 EDIT “The episodic script offers a lot of laughs, but also a narrative tidiness that only happens in movies. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jun 20, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% 4/5 EDIT “It can test your patience, posing a lot of questions that it takes a long time to explain. But there’s a first-rate cast and some intriguing ideas about how to grapple with mortality in a world that seems ever closer to the End Times. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% 5/5 EDIT “There’s a real-time authenticity here underscored by first-rate performances, visceral action sequences, and a sound design that rattles you just like the warriors on screen. Caution: This one’s not for the squeamish.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 5/5 EDIT “It’s a wild and woolly ride, with a vision of a dystopian near-future that feels exaggerated, but only just.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Mufasa is not a bad choice for a holiday-season matinee with the grandkids, but it’s far from the pride of the Disney jungle.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% 4/5 EDIT “[Director Jake Kasdan] tosses a sackful of thematic and genre elements into the mix like some overstuffed snow globe. But when the flakes settle, we’re left with a satisfying holiday entertainment about embracing our inner child.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Goodrich (2024) 82% 3/5 EDIT “There’s an easygoing, improvisational quality to individual scenes, but there’s also a glut of secondary characters and rushed subplots that feel like narrative cul-de-sacs.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 46% 1/5 EDIT “This puzzling film, in the tradition of the Roman Colosseum, will leave you longing for less circus and more bread. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Fly Me to the Moon (2024) 66% 3/5 EDIT “The film celebrates science as well as stargazing -- and what better place to start than the luminous Johansson? ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024) 51% 2/5 EDIT “At three hours, the film feels both overwrought and undercooked.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 55% 4/5 EDIT “There's nothing very original here -- the adorable, scene-stealing infant Gru Jr. is a dead ringer for Jack-Jack from Pixar's The Incredibles films -- but it's hard to resist all the madcap energy and throwaway visual jokes. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 4/5 EDIT “This toon may get stuck in your head -- in a good way. A great one to treat the grandkids to.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Chaplin (1992) 62% 4/5 EDIT “Richard Attenborough’s biopic can be formulaic, but Downey nails Chaplin’s all-over-London accent (sometimes Cockney, sometimes posh) and his gift for sidesplitting slapstick. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Bob Marley: One Love (2024) 43% 3/5 EDIT “When the focus stays on Marley’s singular talent, One Love succeeds in getting things together so you can feel all right.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Mean Girls (2024) 68% 4/5 EDIT “This teen comedy is utterly fetching.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Society of the Snow (2023) 90% 5/5 EDIT “The story’s been told before, but Bayona brings a clear-eyed intensity to the story, along with a more authentic Spanish-speaking cast.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Jan 6, 2024 Full Review Wonka (2023) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The candy-colored visuals go a long way to compensate for a script that can be a muddle, stretched taffy-thin by too many villains, subplots and characters who are not given much to do. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 15, 2023 Full Review The Prom (2020) 54% EDIT “[Murphy]'s real achievement is making "The Prom" feel like a film rather than a captured-on-camera stage production, one that still retains the let's-put-on-a-show energy of live theater.” – TheWrap Dec 1, 2020 Full Review
