Apr 17, 2014Romantic Comedy/Fountain of Love
Agonisingly awful romantic comedy about a Fountain of Love. The plot is utterly vapid, its resolution never in the slightest doubt, while director Mark Steven (Daredevil, Ghost Rider) Johnson sets the entire film up around a series of painfully unfunny slapstick routines

Jul 4, 2012Possible Time Machine
Quirky indie film about a possibly deluded man who advertises for a time travel companion. The actuality of the time travel element is kept ambiguous and this plays out as a relationship drama that overflows with charm and freshness

Nov 8, 2013Anthology of Bad Taste Comedy Skits
An anthology of comedy skits that sets out to be in as bad taste as possible – you are left astounded how far a film has to go to offend in this post-South Park era. That and wondering if the producers had kidnapped some of the stars' family members to force them to participate

Nov 30, 2013Disney Animation/Fairytale Adaptation
Disney animated film that supposedly adapts Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, although Andersen wouldn't recognise it. Nicely animated but it often feels like a ramshackle assemblage of formula elements rather than the classic it was hailed as

Mar 16, 2020Animation/Comic-Book Superhero Team
Film spinoff from the animated tv series Teen Titans Go! This hits in with a bewildering barrage of savvy one-liners wickedly spoofing the superhero genre and making in-jokes at DC Comics canon. It is rather welcome seeing a superhero film not taking itself at all seriously

Frozen was the most successful animated film of all time. It also felt the most formulaic and least inspired Disney film of the 2000s. As part of Disney's new business policy of wringing all they can out of everything that bears their name, this is a sequel.
