By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 18 Dec 2012

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Dec 2012

Review of Cheerful Weather for the Wedding (2012)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Dec 2012

There isn't much of anything here that hasn't been done elsewhere, but as the film rolls merrily along it reminds why wedding comedies are…

Review of Meet the Browns (2008)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 Dec 2012

Review of California Solo (2012)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 06 Dec 2012

Review of Scrooge & Marley (2012)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 20 Nov 2012

Review of Funeral Kings (2012)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 18 Nov 2012
