Nacho Libre (2006) Spille Film

The problem with Diary of a Wimpy Kid is the wimpy kid is a jerk.. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a movie that needs to go back to the drawing board -- literally.. There's something silly-sweet about this movie. It avoids talking down to kids or being didactic, while still projecting an overall wholesomeness.. The film's sheer lack of everything that customarily passes for comic fuel -- energy, wit, character, fun, a plot -- renders Nacho Libre a torturous patience tester of the first order.. There's a...

Niels Neutron: Det lille geni (2001) Spille Film

. Hope Davis and David Duchovny give solid, moving performances as grieving parents in this inspirational heart-tugger.. . More clever than we have any right to expect.. This little charmer both celebrates and kids the corny conventions of family sitcoms.. One of the pleasant surprises of the holiday season.. Louder Than Words obviously means well, but its brand of cheap uplift is the kind of cheese that actually breeds cynicism.. The title refers to the adage that actions speak louder than word...

Nancy Drew (2007) Download Film

Director Brian Robbins keeps going for easy laughs.. A well-written and in many ways pleasing update of a character who has endured in print for 78 years.. This is innocuous, heart-in-the-right-place family fare, but its well-earned points about animal rights and preservation would be better taken if the relentless sentimentality didn't force viewers into flippers-in-the-air submission.. Has all the suspense and intrigue of a less-than-groovy episode of Scooby-Doo.. It's got a lot of fun energy,...

Aquamarine (2006) Se Fuld Film

For what it aspires to be -- and we're not talking Sense and Sensibility here -- it works.. . . A daydream from a discount store.. Aquamarine really is just an adorable movie. And along the way, life lessons about love, friendship, adjusting to bad news and overcoming grief -- are passed along in a not-that-obvious fashion.. Altogether a wasted opportunity from a Disney organization which grows more sclerotic by the minute.. Aquamarine isn't good enough to be a teen classic, but its audience wil...

Nat på museet 2 (2009) Se Streaming

It's a collection of some of the most interesting figures throughout history and some of the most talented performers we have working today.. A super-size rehash of the original.. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, is breezier than the first Museum, at least to me, which means in three years I'll be revising my opinion downward.. Azaria pretty much steals the show.. . Marvel at the movie's cheerful idiocy, which seems definitive -- even though the summer season has just begun -- and...

Strange Magic (2015) Spille Streaming

Ingenious action sequences driven by surprisingly little plot lead to a climax full of the transmogrification animation was invented for.. Neither the best nor the most endearing of Disney, but it's a sassy amusement. And nicely short.. Funky, funny and free of ersatz Broadway cheese.. Who knew Disney could shake its Groove thing this well?. Strange Magic is strange all right, but hardly magical.. The unfussy, tossed-off quality actually helps give this original story zippy irreverence some of D...

Spy Kids 2: Drømmenes Ø (2002) Fuld Film Streaming

Given the appeal of his first movie, Rodriguez had a big act to follow. Spy Kids ' progeny, though slightly lacking in the warmth of the first, should no doubt please audiences.. Robert Rodriguez follows up his 2001 smash with another comic fantasy that'll please adults as much as kids.. [Spy Kids 2] is both overblown and overlong compared to the original -- but happily has enough heart and smarts to recommend it as one of the season's worthier family entertainments.. Though it's competently mad...
