Review of The Perfect Score (2004)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jan 2004

In addition to being a good-looking movie with a pumping Foo Fighters anthem, Score is actually a philosophical argument against our culture of tests…

Review of The Event (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 18 Dec 2003

Just sit, feel a little blue and watch Parker Posey wander through New York in an ugly conservative suit…

Review of Die, Mommie, Die! (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Oct 2003

It's a screen adaptation of Busch's stage play of the same name, which never really went anywhere after its 1999 Los Angeles debut -- and doesn't…

Review of Rare Birds (2001)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2003

Rendered bland and frustrating by its endless attempts to make the odd odder…

Review of Secondhand Lions (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Sep 2003

With such a bang-up cast, this setup could at least elicit some tears, but in its 107 minutes, nary a one welled up in my eyes…

Review of In This World (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Sep 2003

This is an amazing movie, released at a frightening time and made under remarkable circumstances…

Review of Red Betsy (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jul 2003

In between all the sentimental (i.e. corny) mumbo-jumbo is a potentially fascinating subplot…

Review of Rugrats Go Wild (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jun 2003

Though the Thornberrys provide some much-needed energy, asking them to carry the movie is like expecting a sweeps-week celebrity cameo to make…

Review of The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Apr 2003

By filling in what the story lacks in originality with easy attractions like pretty faces, set to fluffy music, the filmmakers lose the outsider…

Review of Chasing Papi (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Apr 2003

It's a shame that these actors, stars already in the Latino community, with most also having played small parts in Hollywood's more white-bread…

Review of Agent Cody Banks (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Mar 2003

Had the movie chosen to go the campy route, Muniz probably would have shined, using his face and vacant delivery to their fullest potential…

Review of The Jungle Book 2 (2003)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Feb 2003

At its core, a movie for children. There is no hidden adult story line, not much sexual innuendo and very little dry humor…

Review of The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002)

By Allison Benedikt (153) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Dec 2002
