  1. Standing Ovation 2010 For us grinchy adults out there without children to sedate, the whole thing feels slightly less like a movie than like the filmed record of a mutiny at a juvie talent agency. full review
  2. Today's Special 2010 The cooking scenes are fun, but Samir's reawakening and romance with a co-worker hold about as many surprises as a prix fixe meal. full review
  3. Waiting for Forever 2010 An indistinct romantic-dramedy-ish something or other. full review
  4. The Good Guy 2009 The Good Guy has a few half-cute moments, some chuckles, and enough pretty faces to cast at least two TV pilots. What it doesn't have is a clue. full review

  6. Forever Strong 2008 Shares the secret sin of many a pigskin pic: Despite all the macho posturing, the corny story is just as sappy as anything on Lifetime. full review
  7. Special 2005 Thanks to Rapaport's brio in embracing the hero's drug-induced delusions, the movie is less a failure than a noble experiment gone awry. full review
