Reviews Featuring Christina Applegate

Just Visiting

Appealing comedy without pretensions, having some good gags and a fair amount of slapstick.

Grand Theft Parsons

An incredible true story unnecessarily embellished with banal fictitious details. Michael Shannon's performance as Larry Oster-Berg, some funny lines, and a great basic premise keep it moving along the road, but it needs a much better script to provide the right directions.

Wonderland

A 1980s-set true-crime murder mystery whose devious flashbacks and multiple perspectives make you feel like you've snorted too much coke - or been whacked once too often with a lead pipe.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Definitely weird and very nearly wonderful – and you’ll never look at your local newsreader in the same way again.

Surviving Christmas

Turkey’s come early this year!

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

Definitely no Oscar contender -- and not really even a great kids movie -- it's still worth it if you can see a cheap show because your kids will laugh, even if you're bored silly.
