Movie Review

Most people love to talk about movies they've seen, even if it's to just give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. That accounts for much of the popularity of the tag movie review.

A movie review is an analysis of or commentary on a particular movie. Some sites compile reviews from a variety of sources, others ask readers for reviews and other sites use individual reviews. The tag may have broad usage, encompassing not only movies currently in theaters but also ones that are released on DVD. It will also cover the full spectrum of movies, from dramas to comedies to documentaries.

While one might consider being a movie reviewer one of the greatest jobs around, the quality of a movie review depends on knowledge of film as a whole or the subject matter of the movie.

• Review: Youth in Revolt (2009)

  
  Edward Champion's Reluctant Habits — Authority: 595
  Michael Cera, a reedy actor known for grilling his thin mix of thespic tricks into crepe-like pipsqueaks quietly braying the predictable coups de foudre , is not necessarily a man to be disliked. But there doesn’t seem to be a filmmaker with the guts to discourage his predictable instincts. Miguel Arteta would ...

  Finally: a movie where Michael Cera doesn’t play Michael Cera. Well, sort of. In “Youth in Revolt,” he still plays his signature awkward-to-the-max character — only this time, a bad-ass is added to the mix. And that bad-ass just so happens to be played by Cera. Based on the cult-classic novel by C.D. Payne, ...

• Leap Year

  
  Movie Mom — Authority: 445
  A movies premise can be implausible and still work. The audience does not have to buy into whatever it is that the hero and heroine are after long as we believe that the movies characters believe in it. But in "Leap Year," the premise and its ensuing complications are so preposterous that it just cant work, despite ...
