It's the kind of feel-good movie whose resolution is evident from the start, being based as it is on a true story. But that doesn't make the journey any less interesting.
Claudia Puig
USA Today


Beautifully shot by Michael J. Ozier, the dominating taste in Bottle Shock is Rickman's beautiful performance as a snob -- a snob who is secretly open to being delightfully surprised.
Lou Lumenick
New York Post


Bottle Shock is something special: there's magic in it.

At the very least, Bonneville deserves to be seen as a challenge and a rebuke to our supposedly youth-obsessed age.

The Wackness is both darkly funny and life-affirming, in an offbeat and offhanded way.
Claudia Puig
USA Today


Jonathan Levine's The Wackness is a studiously offbeat coming-of-age crowd-pleaser set in New York City during the long-ago, far-away days of...the summer of 1994.
Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly


What saves this movie, which won this year's audience award at Sundance, from being boring are performances by two actors who see a chance to go over the top and aren't worried about the fall on the other side.

TEN INCH HERO
 
FEATURING: Sean Patrick Flanery, Clea Duvall, John Doe
Four friends deal with their love lives and learn about themselves while working in a funky sandwich shop in Santa Cruz, California. With the poignant humor and heart of Diner, The Breakfast Club, and Mystic Pizza, here comes Ten Inch Hero much more than just a sandwich, its a story about finding love where you least expect it. Piper (Elizabeth Harnois), an accomplished artist, comes to town in search of the child she gave up for adoption years earlier, but is surprised at what she finds. The irreverent Priestly (Jensen Ackles) dispenses free-wheeling comic advice to everyone, but how long can he hide his own feelings? Shy Jen (Clea DuVall) watches life pass by, afraid to reach out, except through her e-mail romance with a mysterious stranger. Maybe after Piper teaches her a few things, she'll be ready to meet her online lover in person. Trucker (John Doe), a surfer child of the 60s, knows about life. He owns the sub shop, after all. So why does he need his young staff to help him discover the love of his life? The sign out front says it all: Help Wanted normal people need not apply
