![‘Love and Other Drugs’ starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway disappoints with 2.5 stars.
“The movie never strikes a balance between its comic and dramatic halves and that dooms it. It is an almost good film that flounders, because there is no treatment for tone deafness.”

![Disney’s ‘Tangled’ earns 4 stars.
“To demonstrate the otherwise unexposed moral dilemma of disobeying Mother Gothel’s wishes to live her dream, Rapunzel escapes her confines and endures a see-saw of emotions: Catholic spasms of guilt (“I’m the worst daughter alive!”) and glee (swinging from tree, “This is so much fun!!!”) expose a side of the action heroine left untapped by other Disney tales.”

![Tyler Perry’s ‘For Colored Girls’ earns 3 stars.
“Like Precious, this is a collage of terrible true things: rape, molestation, shame, abuse, addiction, promiscuity, abortion, murder, self-hate, cheating and AIDS, all pressed together so tightly as to block out the light.”

![‘Due Date’ starring Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis gets 2.5 stars.
“Mincing naïf Ethan is loopy to begin with and his pot-smoking habit doesn’t help matters. He’s a fabulist, a fop and a fool - unnervingly needy and dull-witted but possessed of a solid-gold heart that’s supposed to counteract his more pathetic qualities.”

![‘Megamind’ voiced by Tina Fey and Will Farrell earns 4 stars.
“First with Despicable Me and now with Megamind, there seems to be a mini-trend going on in which the central villain eventually goes for audience empathy and the kind of hero status we usually reserve for the ‘good guys.’”

“As ever, the series is indifferently staged and edited. Most scenes consist of people exchanging information that may or may not be known to the audience; in either case, dramatic irony or suspense never enters the equation.”
