Review: Where's John Hughes when you need him?

Perhaps he could have made Daddy Day Care more than a series of slapstick vignettes as he did way back in 1983 with his script for Mr. Mom. It's that film that Day Care most immediately calls to mind and this barely concealed remake suffers in comparison...more

Review: The Shape of Things is either an attempt at a scathing sitcom satire, suffused with larger themes, or a poorly executed, poorly written conceit masquerading as an hour-and-a-half of drama; bet heavily on the latter.

Writer/director Neil LaBute, often accused of misanthropy, at best misogyny, can here be accused of a tin ear. It must be his left one because his right ear seems to pick up on the cadence of speech and the arc of conversation...more

THE BUZZ: Rochefort, whose back injury on the set of Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote ground the production to a halt, moved on to this picture after recuperating from a double disc hernia. Paired with pop icon Halladay, Rochefort's portrayal of Monsieur Manesquier, an elegant retired schoolteacher, earned him a Best Actor statue at this year's Lumiere Awards.
