By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Jun 2008

Review of Last Holiday (2006)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 26 Apr 2008

Review of Must Love Dogs (2005)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 10 Feb 2008

The script by sitcom veteran Gary David Goldberg has weaknesses--it soft-pedals bitterness, and the ending is annoyingly pat…

Review of First Sunday (2008)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 10 Jan 2008

This heist comedy has a hackneyed introduction, and its feel-good ending lacks credibility, but the big, funny chunk in the middle marks writer-director-producer…

Review of The Italian (2005)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Dec 2007

This 2005 story about a Russian boy whose mother has given him up may be derivative, but it's still engrossing, largely because of its appealing…

Review of Control (2013)
