it is generally enjoyable and seems to love its characters. I am not sure the last time a Will Ferrell movie could be described that way.

Sadly, 7500 runs out of fuel just as it seems prepared to kick into high gear.

It is constantly jumping from plot point to plot point, character to character, barely introducing something before moving on.

There is so much going on that, though the subjects it attacks deserve it, it was difficult to connect with any of it.

It is very enjoyable to watch it go where we already know it is headed.

There were certainly times The Way Back felt honest, until it dove deeper into its formulas.

The premise of Onward makes it sound like a routine family movie. However, Pixar, as usual, spins it into something different.

It is a skillfully made suspense thriller that kept me consistently engrossed, even though I sort of knew where it was going.

An inert production that has little more to say than “she was treated unfairly.”

It takes a bit of an easy way out down the stretch; still, fans of this type of contemporary horror will want to check it out.
