Review of Wish Upon (2017)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 12 Jul 2017

Review of Raising Bertie (2017)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 20 Jun 2017

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 07 Jun 2017

Like George Bailey, and the Cartwright family from “Bonanza” and other fictitious families, the real-life story of the Sungs is one of…

Review of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 31 May 2017

Review of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (2017)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 May 2017

The “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series has been, at its core, “Alvin and the Chipmunks” without the rodents…

Review of Glory Road (2006)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 May 2017

If you can get past a few swear words, the film's simplicity makes Glory Road a good starting point to get young kids to talk about racism…

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 25 Apr 2017

Chasing Trane celebrates its subject with great passion, but it often feels like walking in late into a good party…

Review of Their Finest (2017)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 19 Apr 2017

A charming and thoughtful movie, about people making a charming and thoughtful movie…

Review of Waiting... (2005)

Review of Going in Style (1979)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 Apr 2017

Review of Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 04 Apr 2017
