Wedding Crashers (2005): A comedy that could have been brilliant, given the first half–hour, and the great chemistry between Owen and Vaughn. Unfortunately, takes a turn for the standard rom–com drama, but remains a fun ride overall.
You, Me and Dupree (2006): Will provide a few decent laughs, with Wilson seemingly unknowingly intruding on the lives of his married friends.
Tattooist, The (2007): A very disappointing thriller that had far more potential given the cultural material it had to work with.
Australia (2008): Australia begins strong, with outback and droving elements heartily played out by Jackman, and a sweet Aboriginal boy being looked after by the naive but stubborn Kidman. Soon stumbles and wavers for the remainder.
Philadelphia (1993): A very good and educative drama, with thoroughly convincing performances by Hanks and Washington. Not outstanding, but a solid film all–round.
Jumanji (1995): The craziest board game of all, Jumanji transcends reality and time, bringing forth far more than anyone dreamt of before rolling the dice. An exciting family adventure.
Striptease (1996): Terrible comedy that has Moore shedding her clothes for cheap thrills relegated to dusty video–store shelves and late–night TV.
Thinner (1997): Gristly but standard rendition of the King classic. Not necessarily bad, but not the best of the Kings either (the book or the film).
Mask, The (1994): Possibly the best Jim Carrey comedy, this adds some ingenious cartoon/fantasy elements to the usual reluctant anti–hero premise. Visually marvellous and irresistibly mischievous.
Liar Liar (1997): One of Carrey's best, Liar Liar provides ample opportunity for his over–the–top facial expressions and mannerisms, as he fights with his natural instinct to lie about almost everything in his everyday life.
