Tom Drake was his usual bland self as Rodgers and Mickey Rooney's hyper-active Lorenzo Hart is a little on the annoying side, but Janet Leigh is lovely as Dorothy and Betty Garrett is fun as Peggy O'Neill, despite a definite lack of chemistry with Rooney.

Though the film provides laughs and the same first rate special effects the first film did, I found it hard to get behind the film because the whole idea of a baby in danger was very unsettling for me and made it hard to fully commit to what happens here.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb   12/02/14

Donald Petrie's direction is a little on the pedestrian side, but the leads are attractive and there are effective supporting bits offered along the way by Bebe Neuwirth, Robert Klein, Adam Goldberg, Kathryn Hahn, and Celia Weston, but I guess your appreciation of the film depends on how much you lo...

Bruce Almighty   11/29/14

Despite solid direction from Tom Shadyac, who also directed Carrey in Liar,Liar and Carrey's ability to make the most lame material funny, this film is about as predictable as they come, which includes Bruce's initial selfish use of the power he's been given, the abuse of the people in his life he c...

The Ugly Truth   11/23/14
by Gideon58
