Despite accusations of nearly succumbing to spotlighting beefs over beats, the film comes off as an honest representation of a great group that's not to be forgotten.- Posted Aug 5, 2011

It honors the original throughout, including a memorable nightclub scene and a surprise cameo that's a huge crowd-pleaser, while at the same time giving updates to make it fresher and better than ever.- Posted Aug 18, 2011

Overreaching fits of melodrama, occasionally stilted dialogue, and performances by Gooding Jr. and Howard that are mostly a series of serious faces can't keep the shiny Red Tails from taking flight.- Posted Jan 20, 2012

Despite the crass book promotion, the overlong film is harmless romantic fun that's well played.- Posted Apr 20, 2012

The finale is heavy on CGI. But it never takes away from this respectable entry into the horror genre that values chills over kills.- Posted Jan 17, 2013

There are enough F-bombs, a couple of chopped-off appendages and a flash of gratuitous male nudity to earn an R rating. But fans of producer Judd Apatow would expect nothing less.- Posted Apr 27, 2012

Director Rick Famuyiwa did much better when focusing just on African-American culture in films such as "Brown Sugar" and "The Wood." Here, in bringing together two cultures, he does neither any favors. -
