(55) Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Directed by Peter Solett
Rated PG-13
2008
90 minutes

*** 1/2


One of the most underrated films of 2008, this is a cute teen romantic comedy that will likely appeal more to people closer to the age group. That means if you're over 30, you'll probably be bored to tears. Everyone else, enjoy.

(52) Last Chance Harvey

92 minutes

****

Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson have endless amounts of chemistry together in probably the most charming romantic comedy I saw last year. Every once in awhile, we need a movie where a smile never really leaves your face.

(51) Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Directed by Steve Carr
Rated PG
2009
87 minutes

** 1/2

Kevin James shows that he is likely to be the next hit kids/teen comic actor with his turn in Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The story itself isn't anything new (call it Home Alone in a mall, or Die Hard with a fat guy) but James is funny enough to carry it.
