Although he's a national treasure, even Woody Harrelson can't transcend this schmaltzy plot

Director and co-writer Dave Franco keeps things too nice for his film's own good.

As a comedy, it’s just not that funny, and by the time the movie takes a left turn into melodrama, you feel as dissonant and removed as a drunk watching CSPAN.

The actor's directing debut is strong even if the characters are insufferable.

The modern-day Jimmy Stewart gives a naturalistic performance in a movie that’s anything but.

Writer-director Scott Cooper’s talent lies in deconstructing ambiguous protagonists and Edgar Allan Poe most certainly qualifies.

Draped in heavy layers of latex, Brendan Fraser’s eyes convey subtext the screenplay can’t excavate.

With her expressive gaze, Anya Taylor-Joy is a perfect avatar for the audience as she reacts with a droll skepticism to all the posh nonsense.

The director is at his best envisioning the burdens of becoming an artist.

This romcom grumbles when it should be grinning.
