Movie reviews
“The Ant Bully” HH A kid gets shrunk down to the size of an ant, just so he can learn why he should stop flooding the ant colony with his squirt gun. This computer-animated tale from the makers of “Jimmy Neutron” is heavy on the social lectures and much too late in getting to some crazy slapstick. The big-shot voices include Nicolas Cage and Julia Roberts. (PG, for subject matter.)
“Cars” HHHH Another good one from Pixar animation, if admittedly short of the “Toy Story” mark. A cocky race car (voiced by Owen Wilson) learns valuable lessons while stranded in a small town off Route 66. Other voices include Paul Newman and Bonnie Hunt. (G)
“Clerks II” HHH A sequel to the touchtone 1994 film about slackers, this one checks in with Dante and Randal as they fritter away their 30-something days at a fast-food place. Kevin Smith’s slaphappy pop-culture dialogue is as funny as ever, but the freshness isn’t there anymore, and he manages the good-hearted stuff less surely. (R, for language, subject matter.)
“Click” HH Adam Sandler finds a Universal Remote Control that allows him to fast-forward through the unpleasant parts of life-but the device takes on a will of its own. Along with the flatulence jokes there’s a remake of “A Christmas Carol” hiding in this movie, some of which is surprisingly affecting. With Kate Beckinsale. (PG-13, for language, subject matter.)
“The Devil Wears Prada” HH A frumpy journalism student (Anne Hathaway) is hired as a second assistant to the most powerful fashion editor (Meryl Streep) in Manhattan. The milieu is promising, but there’s not nearly enough Streep in this movie, which spends too long with its dull main character. (PG-13, for subject matter.)
“Hard Candy” HHH Two people who met on an Internet chatline, a 32-year-old man (Patrick Wilson) and a 14-year-old girl (the astoundingly good Ellen Page) engage in a battle of wills, which gets brutal very quickly. A creeped-out movie, and it truly makes the audience squirm. (R, for language, violence, subject matter.)
“The Heart of the Game” HHHH An exciting documentary tracking a few years in the career of Bill Resler, coach of the Roosevelt High School girls’ basketball team in Seattle, especially his tutelage of a talented player, Darnellia Russell. (PG-13, for language.)
“John Tucker Must Die” HH Three high-school girls plot revenge against a womanizer (Jesse Metcalfe) who turns out to be bulletproof. The girls are very well cast. (PG-13, for subject matter.)
“Lady in the Water” HH M. Night Shyamalan turns his attention to a shabby apartment building, where a water sprite (Bryce Dallas Howard) emerges from the swimming pool, with a purpose of great meaning. The director’s ideas lag behind his innate filmmaking talent, but the movie is still highly watchable, and Paul Giamatti gives a committed performance. (PG-13, for subject matter.)
“Miami Vice” HHH There are problems of plot and chemistry in this update on the 1980s TV hit, but this movie has some electrifying sequences, and you can get high off the muggy atmosphere. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx play the vice cops, working on a rather generic story about South American drug smuggling. (R, for violence, language, nudity.)
“Monster House” HH A “capture-motion” animation film, with great subtlety in facial expressions but less skill in storytelling. Three neighborhood kids become convinced that the spooky house on the block is actually a malevolent entity-a premise that feels less like a Ray Bradbury story and more like a video game. (PG, for violence, subject matter.)
“My Super Ex-Girlfriend” HH A mildly enjoyable comedy from director Ivan Reitman about a regular schlub (Luke Wilson at his best) whose new g-friend is actually a super-hero (Uma Thurman). The movie makes a spirited stab at succeeding despite its labored premise, and the cast is good. (PG-13, for language, subject matter.)
“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” HHH The pirate crew, led by Johnny Depp’s uproarious performance, returns in this wild (if overlong) sequel. Depp has to go pretty broad to fill in the holes, but some of the cartoony action sequences are wonderfully daft. (PG-13, for violence, subject matter.)
“Scoop” HH Woody Allen returns to comedy, with this tale of a journalism student (Scarlett Johansson) who suspects a royal (Hugh Jackman) may be a notorious serial killer. The two actors have trouble finding the proper screwball comedy style, and Allen’s casual approach makes everything feel flat. (PG-13, for subject matter.)
“Strangers with Candy” HH A big-screen prequel to the Comedy Central cult series, about a 47-year-old ex-con junkie (Amy Sedaris) who returns to high school. The TV show was more consistently funny, although Sedaris and co-star Stephen Colbert get their share of gloriously twisted laughs. (R, for language, subject matter.)
“You, Me and Dupree” H A comedy without laughs, in which Owen Wilson plays a 36-year-old manchild who moves in with buddy Matt Wilson and new wife Kate Hudson. The film goes for scatological and sexual humor, but fails to make it funny, and Wilson is running on fumes. (PG-13, for subject matter.)
