Very funny, a surprise hit. Both leads are fantastic, with Kumail Nanjiani steeling the show from Dave Bautista as you would expect. Natalie Morales is good as always. I laughed out loud a lot. This is a strong 8.5/10.0

Okay, a fun film oddly cast, with a mis-match of talent. Sasha Luss’s performance (really great at action, not so great at dialogue or expression) is put firmly into shadow by her highly skilled peers, Luke Evans and Cillian Murphy. And Helen Mirren? What on earth was she doing in this movie? Helen Mirren is awesome, a giant of the...

What a great, feel good movie! There is a cracking cast, especially the two leads, Himesh Patel and Lily James. They work particularly well together, and there is great comic relief from Joel Fry. This movie is funny and tender, and great if you are a Beatles fan! There are some flaws in the plot if you look too closely,...

Cliched, tired, appalling writing. This film is an affront to film makers worldwide, and if it makes a profit (I’m sure it will) it will be yet another nail in the coffin of well-made, intelligent films. If people keep going to see this nonsense (yes, I know, I went to see it so I could write this review) the studios...

I love this film. It has the feeling of Notting Hill and Love Actually, but without the sadness. This is a great film with two strong leads, the amazing Ali Wong and Randall Park. There is a naturalness and chemistry between them that really comes through, and the supporting cast are also excellent, with well-written and strong characters. There is...

This movie just goes to show that you can throw money at a film, you can throw great actors, you can throw in lots of special effects, but there’s no guarantee you will end up with anything good. This movie is tired and slow, okay for kids perhaps, but not a great film. I give this film 5.0/10.0

Extremely well written story, fantastically well cast and acted, an example of great cinematography, consistently good throughout. Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling work well together, both strong individually, but great together. I give this a 9.0/10.0

Funny, bittersweet in places, coming-of-age movie. I’m not sure the comparison with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Superbad are well made, but I enjoyed the film and its great cast. I give this film 7.5/10.0.

Strong start, first 10 minutes the most violent I have seen in a movie, and I started watching in the VHS days when a 12 year old could rent anything! It heralded a downward spiral for the movie though, the violence giving way to a nonsense mythicism about the “high table”, and the mixing of Yakuza, Mafia and Russian Bratva...

Better than other MCU films I’ve seen, and funny and touching in places, but still a bit pants. They are all the same… I give this a “meh” score of 6.0/10.0
