The Lookout: Keep Your Eyes Peeled
"The Lookout is one of the year’s most exciting films; a rousing, supremely entertaining crime thriller about a bank heist.

Bratz The Movie: No Boys Allowed
"The female-skewed story and the barrage of inexperienced actors, mind-numbing pop music and obvious humor render the film inaccessible to males of any age. "
