Ben Stiller

Gleefully silly...plays like an extension of a Ben Stiller Show sketch (but a pretty good one, at that).

DeNiro is pretty much the only reason to see Meet the Fockers...[betrays] creative exhaustion.

I see no compelling reason to begrudge the kiddies of this mostly amiable timewaster, but this one's hardly destined to join the crowded top shelf of animated winners.

Lazarus' cliched idea of a black man is funny in itself...but Downey's immersive take on the immersive actor is pure genius.

Energetic, fast-paced, and pumped full of zany humor...sure to entertain the younguns and be fairly painless for their guardians.

Gauche, garish, and gross, a prime example of the coarsening of our culture and of the art of comedy in film. It's also pretty darn funny.

Musters only a few lackluster laughs...[but] has one trump card: it’s a kid-friendly, “PG” film that celebrates museums.

Greenberg doesn’t amount to much, really, but it’s an enjoyably amusing character study with plenty of little pleasures.

The promise of extraordinary brain power isn't fulfilled.

Has the perfect 'generic brand' title to match its Teflon blandness.

According to an old showbiz saw, the key to comedy is timing. Well, the new big-budget sci-fi comedy The Watch has a problem there.

Achieves some romantic uplift when Mitty dreams of Cheryl and literally takes flight, but most of the time, the picture strains to make any kind of sense, much less entertain.

The obvious shots at hipster scenes...eventually sour into a complex critique of modern ambition in a changing cultural landscape.

A goofy gag machine that will raise smiles for some and make others just plain gag.

Had a lot going for it: a strong creative vision from authorial forces who would go on to take Hollywood, a talented cast that would essentially do the same, and that premise.
