A film is a terrible thing to waste. Full Review
With such an in-house cast of extended Coppola family sparklers, one would think things couldn't go too wrong in the comedy department, but they have little chance to oil the wheels of a creaky script written around Sheen. Full Review
At best it is a mildly diverting goof with a charmless lead performance. Its underlying misogyny leaves a sour taste. Full Review
A precious, arid thing, Glimpse arrives pinned to Styrofoam like a prize arthropod. Full Review
More of a doodle than a fully formed idea, though not necessarily less enjoyable for it. Full Review
