#ActionJackson(Hindi) Rating: * ½ confounding illogic. Brief spurts of unbending
manga-action style are submerged in a sea of nonsense. Slap-shtick, obdurate
dialogues, stroppy sequencing and a topsy-turvy narrative lacking in script
sense kills off any enjoyment to be had. A stiff Devgan aiming for fluidity and
power while enacting dance action, looks terrible! #AjayDevgan #SonakshiSinha #PrabhuDheva

#SulemaniKeeda(Hindi) Rating: * * * Peddling attitude rather than
substance. The content is ephemeral but the performances and dialogues come
across naturally. Mildly humorous, Ironical bitter-sweet bromantic engagement -
even though the script lacks solidity and bite.

#MumbaiDelhiMumbai(Hindi) Rating: * A crass romantic comedy with
undignifying performances and shabby writing. #SatishRajwade #ManuRishiChadda
#ShivPandit #PiaaBajpai #Viacom18
#BhopalAPrayerForRain(English/Hindi) Rating: * * * Revisiting a
terrifying human tragedy without the requisite homework. A wishy-washy tale of
death and debilitating agony, this one prefers to stay on the right side of the
Americans! Even so it’s a decent watch. #MartinSheen #MischaBarton #RajpalYadav

#ExodusGodsAndKings (English Imax 3D) Rating: * * * Visually
majestic but a little stunted in it’s expansiveness. Christian Bale stars as
Moses in director Ridley Scott's Biblical epic based on the Book of Exodus.
Scott makes it much more realistic and believable but unfortunately that takes
away from the expected fantasy experience. Doesn’t have the campy involvement
that made DeMille’s ‘BenHur’ oh so memorable. #FoxStarIndia #RidleyScott #ChristianBale

#ThisIsWhereILeaveYou(English) Rating: * * Shawn ‘Night at the
Museum’ Levy’s typically American, un-relatable
dysfunctional family comedy that’s more tripe and snipe than humorous or
engaging. Frankly Big stars don’t count when the going is so trite. #WarnerBrosPictures #AnkitAgarwal

English film review
Johnson Thomas
Dysfunctional comedy
Film: This is where I
leave you
Cast: Jason Bateman,
Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, Dax Shepard
Director: Shawn Levy
Rating: * *
Shawn‘
Night at the Museum’ Levy’s latest comedy is about a typically brash, abrasive
dysfunctional family assemblage following the death of the Patriarch whose last
and final request entailed the entire family to be grounded together for
seven days as a final salvo at enforcing closeness to each other and their
Jewish customs. Jane
Fonda, at 76,
is the controlling Mom/widow who orders her children to reunite in the family
home for the post death promise.
When
the family eventually get together and go through the motions desired of them
all they do is gripe and snipe at each other. It’s all so overdone that it
begins to get extremely exasperating after a point. Disgruntled siblings and
their inexplicable angst can only cover aup the flailing script to an
extent. There are a few laugh-out-loud one-liners but as the
conflicts grow more complicated the fun quotient begins to diminish. And as old
grudges and flames come out of the woodwork, it’s bound to have an end result
that is close to mayhem- As expected!
