Critic consensus:Matthew Broderick charms in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, a light and irrepressibly fun movie about being young and having fun.

Numbered reviews:1. Time has caught up with the movie's once-iconic status, and it now seems more an artifact of its era than the 'with it' movie it once was.
2. In this film [Hughes] has created a character who is every teen-ager's fantasy, but in the process he has lost some of the authenticity of his other films.
3. If there was one quintessential director in the 80s, it was John Hughes, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off might be his best film.
4. Who among Generation X doesn't like-love-Ferris Bueller?
5. Eminently quotable and very, very fun.
6. Not only captures what being a teenager and a high schooler felt like, but also embodies what life ought to be like.
7. Ferris is an admittedly entertaining, at times delightful fellow. How unfortunate that no one got to wring the little bastard's neck.
8. ...removed from the moment, the high capitalism of the mid-1980s, the movie seems mild and pleasantly whimsical.
9. A next generation Eddie Haskell, Ferris Bueller redefined "cool" misbehavior for Generation X....Hughes has a knack for memorable set pieces. [new DVD review]
10. Broderick brings some real charm and chutzpah to the part.


Critic consensus:Emily Blunt shines as Victoria in this romantic but plodding royal portrait.

Numbered reviews:1. Ostvarenje koje istinsko zadovoljstvo mo%u017Ee pru%u017Eiti jedino publici koja se sastoji od najzagri%u017Eenijih rojalista
2. The Young Victoria is an attractive film. While many period pieces overwhelm with flashy production design in order to get attention, the stellar art direction found here is luscious yet never vulgarly so.
3. Talky and stately, but it has a degree of humanization making it far more enjoyable and relatable than others of its kind.
4. Emily Blunt joins the ranks of great screen monarchs.
5. A veddy proper film that wouldn't presume to misbehave with an ounce of unnecessary melodrama and abandon. We are amused and entertained but not terribly so.
6. Consistently engaging, with an appealing sense of relevance for today's audiences.
7. Blunt's performance, restrained and fiery, holds together the personal and the political threads of this handsomely mounted drama.
8. Quite a bit dry, even for a historical drama.
9. Rich in personal drama, political intrigue and royal pageantry but also satisfyingly compact.
10. Es el típico producto de calidad que se aprecia más que nada por sus valores de producción (y aquí son realmente excepcionales) y por un elenco, en este caso británico, donde se luce especialmente la estupenda Emily Blunt.


Critic consensus:Amazing Grace is your quintessential historical biopic: stately, noble, and with plenty of electrifying performances.

Numbered reviews:
1. While the subject matter is ripe for investigation, the film isn't quite up to the challenge.
2. Amazing Grace thoughtfully explores the issue of slavery without sermonizing or losing sight of the fact that modern audiences still need to connect with relatable characters no matter how important the subject matter.
3. the film, like its central character, is resolute in its objective. Perhaps too resolute.
4. Apted directs with a firm hand and the film has been gorgeously shot by Remi Adefarasin. The large cast is generally good, with Gruffudd serving as the strong anchor.
5. A good -- and important -- story, not always well told.
6. A decent cast under Michael Apted's direction does its best, but it's dull, naive and dramatically inert.
7. While there is plenty to hold our interest in William Wilberforce's noble battle to abolish slavery in 18th Century Britain, as a film, Amazing Grace is overzealous and gets bogged down by details
8. As a period piece, it's remarkably detailed, smartly written, and likably acted.
9. Michael Apted channels history, but Grace is amazing for the modern sensibilities of its 18th-century saints.
10. Gruffudd's Wilberforce lacks charisma and the House of Commons scenes are interminable. Worthy shouldn't mean dull. What a waste.
