Kids’ DVDs: June 2007

By Roger Holland

Given that babies and young children love nothing more than repetition, repetition, and... um.... repetition, I can't understand why even the pointiest of heads would think children between the ages of six months and three years could possible need 23 different Baby Einstein DVDs. [6 June 2007]

Reviews

Bride Wars

By Matt Mazur

You know what this movie will make you want to do? Elope. [27 April 2009]

Bride Wars

By Cynthia Fuchs

Bride Wars is part cautionary tale, part fairy tale, and part Jerry Springer episode, as Liv and Emma's so-called dreams are wholly conventional and their antics are increasingly outrageous. [9 January 2009]

Charlottes Web (2006)

By Daynah Burnett

Surprise! There is nothing even remotely offensive or ironic or postmodern about Charlotte's Web. [14 December 2006]

Sam the Man (2000)

By Nikki Tranter

If Sam the Man didn't tackle some difficult relationship questions so perceptively, its horrible lead and crappy lighting would have sunk it. [24 February 2005]

13 Going on 30 (2004)

By Cynthia Fuchs

Jennifer Garner embodies a joy that's all too rare on recent movie screens, in adults or kids. [3 August 2004]

13 Going on 30 (2004)

By Cynthia Fuchs

13 Going on 30 is best when it's adorable. [23 April 2004]

Tadpole (2002)

By Cynthia Fuchs

In assuming Oscar's perspective, the film makes out like everyone is as smitten with him as he is. [25 July 2002]

The Tic Code (2000)

By Cynthia Fuchs

While it does fall into disease-of-the-week-ish triteness and bumble into a trumped-up climax, The Tic Code also manages to display a refreshingly complex relationship between mother and son. [1 January 1995]
