The Failures *½

43. JENNIFER'S BODY
►It's hard – nay, impossible – to believe that Diablo Cody, who wrote "JUNO", was also responsible for the ragbag of a screenplay here.◄
44. GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST
►The script and the performers never rise above the predictably mundane.◄
45. MY SISTER'S KEEPER
►Almost everyone has a go at narrating the film over lumpy patches.◄
46. (500) DAYS OF SUMMER
►…the most clichéd, yawn-inducing comedy of the year.◄
47. SORORITY ROW
►No marks for the horror-film clichés, for setting the film in Greek-lettered college houses, or for the plot taking place in the dark◄
48. BETTER THINGS
►Once one realises that the entire film is to be young people explaining their lives in a drab environment, one just wishes they had lives worth explaining!◄
49. KNOWING
►Cage looks so in earnest that nobody has the heart to tell him how mad the narrative is.◄
