 | | 7. Summer School | | | Starring: Courtney Thorne-Smith Kirstie Alley Director: Carl Reiner | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/22/2007 |  | Summer School - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/11/2007 5:12 PM | |
Summer School is a lame and obvious stunt piece, but damn if it doesn't know it. Mark Harmon's a lazy teacher stuck with the worst students in school for summer classes. Eventually he's tasked with getting them to pass The Big Test, only to find that they're completely unmotivated and that one of them is totally illiterate. In fact, his job is on the line if they fail. read the full review | |

 | | 29. Hamlet 2 | | | Starring: Catherine Keener Steve Coogan Director: Andrew Fleming | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/14/2009 |  | Hamlet 2 - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 12/12/2008 4:33 PM | |
Andrew Fleming's Hamlet 2, a hot potato at this year's Sundance Film Festival which was purchased by Focus Features, takes nothing seriously and that should be taken both literally and pervasively. The humor has an illimitable ardor for defecating on political correctness but it has a similar indifference toward any sort of continuity in filmmaking, storytelling, or style. Written by Fleming and Pam Brady, the film brandishes the sort of overtly offensive, partisan political taunting gags and guffaws that one might find on Comedy Central's South Park, the show Ms. Brady writes for regularly. read the full review | |

 | | 30. Happy-Go-Lucky | | | Starring: Sally Hawkins Director: Mike Leigh | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/10/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Happy-Go-Lucky - DVD Review By: Kevin Gustafson - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/24/2009 9:30 PM | | It’s rare that I watch a movie and have it affect my mood the next day. But after seeing Happy-Go-Lucky, I felt encouraged to behave more like Poppy Cross, the film’s main character. She’s always laughing and keeping bad days in perspective. She sounds like a bomb about to explode, right? Nope. Poppy charmed the heck out of me and I found her hilariously perplexing. Happy-Go-Lucky is a series of peeks into the life of Poppy (Sally Hawkins), a kooky 30-year-old first grade teacher who lives in a North London apartment with her long-time best friend and fellow teacher Zoe (Alexis Zegerman). read the full review | |
