Brothers Doesn't Accomplish The Mission
Critics praise the performances in Brothers, particularly Tobey Maguire's, who, it seems, they underestimated after seeing Spider-Man. As a whole, however, reviewers say the domestic war drama Brothers falls short of the Danish film it's based on. More » -

Critics Say New Moon, Twihards Suck
The reviews for New Moon are terrible, with critics trashing the script, director, actors, CGI, and even Twihards themselves, saying the film panders to fans who wouldn't know a good movie if it bit them. More » -

Precious Is Heartbreaking, Hopeful
The reviews are in for Precious, and though some critics object to director Lee Daniels' "need to shove the reality of Precious' life in our faces," most say it's a brilliant film about hideous truths Hollywood usually ignores. More » -

In Unison
Says Entertainment Weekly, "Glee is snarky, theatrical, totally addictive - and a cult phenomenon on its way to becoming a national obsession." I believe you know my feelings on the matter. [EW] -

Good Hair Doesn't Get To The Root Of The Issue
Critics say Chris Rock's documentary Good Hair, which opens today, is a fascinating, sometimes funny look at how black women style — and feel about — their hair. But, some say it doesn't delve deep enough into controversial issues. More » -

Critics Say You Must (See) Whip It
How's Drew Barrymore's directorial debut? Well, some critics say it's a bit slow and predictable. However, all agree that despite its faults, the rollerderby film is "unreasonably entertaining" and more intelligent and empowering than most films marketed to women. More » -

Coco May Be Set Too Far Before Chanel
Critics say Coco Before Chanel, which comes out today, is an unusual biopic in that it focuses solely on who Coco Chanel was before she became famous. Some say it ends too soon, before revealing what made her a legend. More » -

Sorry Courteney: Cougar Town Is Crude, Charmless
Critics say Courteney Cox is a good actress, but even she can't make the stale, raunchy humor of Cougar Town - which premieres tonight - work. Unless, of course, viewers, like Cox's character, tend to think with their "coochie cooch." More » -

Critics Have Violently Different Views Of Jennifer's Body
Reviewers are divided on whether Jennifer's Body is a clever satire of friendships between teen girls or like a "thing a cat might bury in a litter box and still keep building the covering because the stench can't be smothered." More » -

The Jay Leno Show Is The Same Old Jay, 90 Minutes Earlier
Though The Jay Leno Show was supposed to reinvent network TV, critics say last night's episode was just a stale remake of The Tonight Show, despite a serendipitously well-timed appearance by Kanye West. More » -

Sorority Row: Tedious, Unintentionally Horrifying
The studio behind Sorority Row, the horror movie featuring Audrina Patridge, Rumer Willis, and Carrie Fisher, didn't show the film to critics. Is it possible they didn't want audiences to know the sisters are racist and advocate "roofie sex"? More » -

The New Melrose Place Is Just Recycled Trash
Critics say the remake of Melrose Place, which premieres tonight on the CW, is entertainingly trashy, but even a murder-mystery involving a character from the original series may not be enough to distinguish it from the other trash on TV. More » -

Ponyo Is Another Miyazaki Masterpiece That Isn't Just For Kids
Critics loved Ponyo, Hayao Miyazaki's latest film, and said its fantastical images, total lack of CGI, and unconventional female lead (described as a mix of Ralph Wiggum and the Tasmanian Devil) make it this summer's best animated film. More » -

Julie & Julia Needs More Julia, Only A Dash Of Julie
Critics say the Julia Child half of Julie & Julia is wonderful, thanks to Meryl Streep's predictably excellent performance, but even Amy Adams could not make modern day blogger Julie Powell likable. More » -

Funny People: Adam Sandler Is A "Revelation" Despite Penis Jokes
Critics say Judd Apatow's Funny People, which opens today, is more nuanced and mature than his previous films, but still surprisingly funny for a comedy about dying. More » -

Critics Have Mixed Feelings About More To Love, Overweight Women
More To Love, the FOX reality dating show featuring 20 plus-size women competing for the love of a plus-size bachelor, premieres tonight and critics can't decide whether it's progressive or exploitative, or even whether the contestants are pretty or pathetic. More » -

The Ugly Truth: "An Artificial, Antiseptic Movie About Artificial, Antiseptic People"
It's funny how often the worst films yield the most interesting reviews. Critics find The Ugly Truth misogynistic, unfunny, and formulaic, but the film has inspired some excellent commentary on the awful state of women in romantic comedies. More » -

Miami Social Lacks Housewives, Real People
Bravo's new reality series Miami Social premieres tonight, but critics say the cast of ambiguously employed 30-somethings devoted to gossiping and drinking themselves into a stupor are not only barely watchable, but barely human. More » -

Critics Laugh At Brüno, So It Must Not Be Offensive
Half the point of Brüno is to stir up controversy, and it's been successful, with many questioning the film's depiction of homosexuals. But according to critics it's funny, so who cares if it's "the swishy gay equivalent of blackface?" More »
