ALL GOOD THINGS - C

Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst, Frank Langella
All Good Things may star the always compelling Ryan Gosling, but this love story / mystery – based on a notorious unsolved murder case – is vague and clichéd, with major structural issues. Director Andrew Jarecki places far too much reliance on the intrusive score, ultimately dulling any suspence.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT - C-

Katherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel, Melissa McCarthy
Someday, Katherine Heigl may star in another romantic comedy that isn’t groan-inducing (her last decent one being Knocked Up), but this awful and woefully predictable effort – centered on an ridiculous story about irresponsible parents - certainly isn’t it. It’s as painful as teething.
