'Legally Blonde'
Times Film CriticA high concept can be a wonderful thing. Up to a point. It can get your film sold and maybe even make it look attractive, but it can't ensure much of anything else. Case in point, may it please the court, is "Legally Blonde." Starring Reese Witherspoon...Tags: Holland Taylor, Crime, Law and Justice, Reese Witherspoon, Colleges and Universities, Selma Blair

'A Cinderella Story'
Times Staff WriterIf you killed off Lizzie McGuire's entire family and sent her to live with an evil stepmother and two stepsisters in the Valley, you'd have the basic setup for "A Cinderella Story," the banal, contemporary update of the popular fairy tale that stars...Tags: Softball, Chad Michael Murray, Madeline Zima, Movies, Paul Rodriguez

Movie review: 'Testosterone'
1 star (out of 4) "Testosterone" is the kind of movie that produces a particular series of questions: How the heck did this get made? Who needed a tax shelter? Who had money to burn? Because there's no way, sitting through this film, that one can...Tags: Argentina, Movies, Antonio Sabato Jr., Entertainment, David Sutcliffe

'American Dreamz'
Times Staff WriterWhat is the American dream, exactly? Does anybody know? Must it involve instant TV celebrity and a spread in InStyle?

And the big question: Does the conviction that we're...Tags: Television, Mandy Moore, William V Williams, Hugh Grant, Willem Dafoe

Slappy and the Stinkers
SPECIAL TO THE TIMESFriday January 23, 1998 It's not "Free Willy" with a sea lion, but "Slappy and the Stinkers" is a harmless drop-off movie for the elementary-age boys not standing in line for "Spice World." "Drop-off" as in drop off the kids at "Slappy," pay...Tags: Movies, B.D. Wong, Adults, Entertainment, Lion (animal)

A Night at the Roxbury
FOR THE TIMESFriday October 2, 1998 The "Saturday Night Live" skits featuring the head-bobbing, hip-shaking, we're-so-cool-it's-pathetic nightclub cruisers offered one of the few reasons to keep tuning in to the show, especially when Will Ferrell and Chris...Tags: Television, Will Ferrell, Richard Grieco, Loni Anderson, Bars and Clubs

American Pie
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday July 9, 1999 "American Pie" is the darndest thing. Both warmhearted and foul-mouthed, this unlooked-for hybrid of "South Park" and Andy Hardy uses its surface crudeness as sucker bait to entice teenage audiences into the tent to see a movie...Tags: Comedy (genre), Shannon Elizabeth, Jason Biggs, Paul Weitz, Chris Moore

Best in Show
TIMES FILM CRITICWednesday September 27, 2000 "Best in Show" has both bark and bite. The latest comic mockumentary to be masterminded by director Christopher Guest, its low-key but sharp and amusing sense of humor is a nice fit with the frenetic world of competitive...Tags: Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, Fred Willard, Michael Hitchcock, Philadelphia (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), Christopher Guest

'Date Movie'
Times Staff WriterIt won't come as much of a surprise to learn that "Date Movie," which Fox declined to screen in advance for critics, doesn't play well in the theater — at least not on a Friday morning in Glendale with three people in the audience. Maybe if the...Tags: Hugh Grant, Movies, Barbra Streisand, Paris Hilton, Entertainment

Down to Earth
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday February 16, 2001 Hollywood has made a habit of taking charismatic, even transgressive performers and putting them into tepid popular entertainments. Think Elvis Presley. Think Richard Pryor. And now, think Chris Rock. In fact, "Down to...Tags: Comedy (genre), Warren Beatty, Greg Germann, Mark Addy, Paul Weitz

Movie review: 'American Wedding'
Chicago Tribune Movie Critic1 1/2 stars (out of 4) Movie success often breeds complacency, big bucks often foster laziness, and "American Wedding" proves both. It's one more slice of raunchy comedy from the "American Pie" franchise, this time bringing back most of the male...Tags: Comedy (genre), Fred Willard, Paul Weitz, Colleges and Universities, Chris Klein
