 | | 7. Madagascar-Escape 2 Africa (Widescreen) | | | Director: Eric Darnell Tom McGrath | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 |  | Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/23/2009 7:46 PM | |
To a film critic, the mainstream is like a ravenous shark with a defective hypothalamus. As long as Hollywood seeds the entertainment waters with chum, the masses will feed and feed until their dead, lifeless eyes roll back in their head. Examples of this baffling binge and purge are released every year -- inexplicable, unexplainable crowd-pleasers like Wild Hogs, Norbit, and Night at the Museum. Now comes Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the even louder, more obnoxious sequel to Dreamworks' loud, obnoxious CG original. This is a film about more: More already dated pop culture references, more digitally-rendered eye candy, more abject pandering to a seemingly easy-to-satisfy demographic. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Evan Almighty (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Steven Carell Morgan Freeman Director: Tom Shadyac | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 10/9/2007 | | Evan Almighty - DVD Review By: Jarad I. Wilk - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/12/2007 6:38 AM | | Evan Almighty is coined as a film for all ages. It's a 96 minute poop joke. The only people that can tolerate 96 minutes worth of poop jokes, and call it friendly fun, are children, because they don't know any better. Fine, the word poop sounds funny, but I don't need a movie filled with sophomoric attempts at doodie humor. Someone, whether it is screenwriter Steve Oedekerk or director Tom Shadyac, needs to seek help because there is a rather unhealthy obsession with poop displayed in Evan Almighty. read the full review | |

 | | 24. Someone Like You | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Ashley Judd Director: Tony Goldwyn | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/13/2009 | | Someone Like You - DVD Review By: Robert Strohmeyer - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/2/2009 4:44 PM | |
Based on the Laura Zigman novel, Animal Husbandry, Someone Like You is a romantic comedy about a late night TV talent coordinator named Jane (Ashley Judd), whose luck in love is predictably bad. So predictable is her misfortune, in fact, that she has devised a pervasive theory on the subject, revolving around the notion that men are like cattle. read the full review | |

 | | 25. Fly Away Home (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Anna Paquin Director: Carroll Ballard | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/21/2004 | | Fly Away Home - DVD Review By: Bradley Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/27/2009 5:36 PM | |
Anna Paquin's first starring role after stealing an Oscar for The Piano is the harmless family movie Fly Away Home. Following in the footsteps of countless family movies before it, Fly Away Home tries too hard to appeal to both children and their parents and ultimately loses much of its appeal to everybody.
In case you missed the movie's trailer, which provides a nice plot synopsis, Fly Away Home is about a teenage girl (Paquin) from New Zealand who moves in with her Canadian father (Jeff Daniels) after her mother dies. The young girl is utterly bored and lonely until she finds a family of young goose eggs (eventually geese) to take care of. read the full review | |

 | | 31. Night At the Museum (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Ben Stiller Ricky Gervais Director: Shawn Levy | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/14/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Night at the Museum - DVD By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/26/2007 8:35 AM | | Family fantasy of top notch caliber. When I saw Night at the Museum projected on the big screen, I found myself having a good time in spite of myself. I remember walking into the theater and wanting to enjoy it, but also wanting to not enjoy it too much. Why I had that approach I have no idea. Despite those intentions, my defenses were quickly worn down and I found myself sucked into this delightful family fantasy. read the full review | |
