Some warm and cold drinks are served. “The Greatest Beer Run Ever” is the follow up to Peter Farrelly’s Oscar-winning film “Green Book.” Let me make a distinction. It’s not his greatest movie, but it’s also not his worst (that… Read More ›

Meet Cute
Time Traveling romcom kills too many butterflies. I’ve dealt with two fantasy comedies this year where something magical happens to a woman who goes into a tanning bed. In “Mack & Rita,” Elizabeth Lail transforms into her older self played… Read More ›
Confess, Fletch
Jon Hamm delivers as the charming and mischievous detective. I’ve watched the original “Fletch” comedy from 1985 with Chevy Chase, and he was funny and entertaining in that role. I didn’t hear good things about its sequel, so I’m going… Read More ›
See How They Run
A goofy and deadpan (if not brilliant) Agatha Christie spoof. In “See How They Run,” Sam Rockwell stars as the weary Inspector Stoppard, who is sent into action to investigate the murder of a blacklisted filmmaker named Leo Kopernick (Adrien… Read More ›
Clerks III

A comedy bomb that’s gross and mean as expected. In the new made-for-Netflix comedy “Me Time,” Kevin Hart gives an injured turtle mouth-to-mouth resuscitation through its nose, and pulls out a line of turtle snot. The minute he does that,… Read More ›
Look Both Ways
One side is better than the other. Here’s the concept of Netflix’s new romcom “Look Both Ways.” We meet Natalie (Lili Reinhart from “Hustlers”), who is on the verge of graduating from the University of Austin, and has big dreams… Read More ›
