Adam Sandler stars in this gritty family drama from Dennis Dugan, which follows in the footsteps of 2011’s Tyrannosaur and We Need to Talk About Kevin in its exploration of the dark complexities of human nature.

This Friday heralds the release of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut, Jack Goes Boating.

They made him an offer he couldn’t refuse

What a man, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a wonderful man… du du du duhhh…

Not even this face could keep critics in their seats at Sundance.

As a rule, sellout films usually contain a colon and/or a number. We’re looking at you, Speed 2: Cruise Control.
