27 Dresses (12A)

Chick flick alert: the ever-likeable Katherine Heigl stars as a woman of a certain age who needs marriage to feel fulfilled. We've come a long way, baby.

The Guardian 2/5: "What a maddening waste of Katherine Heigl this insipid romantic comedy is."

Empire 3/5: "Cute, cute, cute. No bouquets for originality, but it pushes all the buttons of this mini-genre..."

The Times 2/5: "The pioneers of the women’s suffrage movement would be delighted to know that, a century or so later, sure, it’s cool that we now have the vote but let’s focus, ladies – isn’t the real issue still about snaring a husband and buying into that fairytale wedding?"

The Hottie & The Nottie (12A)

Brace yourselves: Paris Hilton stars as kind-hearted BF to an ugly girl - just think! - who puts her love life on hold until she can find an amour for her looks-lacking charge. Currently riding high at the top of IMDB's worst ever movie chart.

Empire 1/5: "Ugly in more ways than one."

Rolling Stone 0.5/5: "That generous half star rating I tacked onto to this comedy abomination is all for Paris Hilton. Come on, it takes guts (or gross dim-wittedness) to appear on screen again after House Of Wax."

Total Film 2/5: "The film is simply too dumb to realise it’s being as shallow and transparent as the stereotypes it’s supposed to be skewering."

Drillbit Taylor (12A)

Owen Wilson makes a tentative return in this Apatow-gang comedy. It makes Superbad seem refined, doesn't it? (Disclaimer: I liked Superbad)

The Guardian 2/5: "The final bell can't come soon enough."

Radio Times 3/5: "Wilson's slyly self-mocking turn works a treat."

The Times 3/5: "It’s an engaging enough picture, if a lesser work, from the talented Apatow stable."

First Sunday (12A)

Ice Cube, a man who drains charisma from the cinema screen, stars as a man who robs his local church then loses the loot. It's a comedy caper!

The Times 1/5: "A new low, even for Ice Cube, this is an astonishingly ill-judged film."

The Guardian 1/5: "It's not a Cube comedy, but a Jesus movie."

Total Film 3/5: "First Sunday is funky, vibrant and intermittently hilarious, similar in tone and delivery to 70s black action capers like Monkey Hustle and Uptown Saturday Night."
