    • Metascore: 55
    • Lou Lumenick 75
    A witty and wise midlife comedy, not only represents Peter Riegert's debut as a feature director but gives this gifted veteran performer his juiciest big-screen role in quite some time.

    Thornton is in great form as the sardonic Vic, whose disposal of an apparently dead body in a trunk is a hilarious set piece.

    • Lou Lumenick 75
    Newcomer Friend, a Leonardo DiCaprio lookalike who can also be seen in small roles in "The Libertine" and "Pride & Prejudice," has a winning manner, but Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is a terrific, long-overdue vehicle for Lady Olivier.
    • Metascore: 71
    • Lou Lumenick 75
    Easily the summer's scariest movie.
    • Metascore: 56

    • Metascore: 63
    • Lou Lumenick 75
    Achieves the odd distinction of being the first post-9/11 NYPD corruption movie - complete with a shootout in the Criminal Courts building. Cool.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Lou Lumenick 75
    A lively score by Danny Elfman and some of the most dramatic sound-effects work since the Three Stooges only add to the appeal of Deep Sea 3-D.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Lou Lumenick 75
