Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House

A charming fable of an environmentally friendly machine which proves to be the redeemer of mankind. Where have I heard something like this before?

A beautiful if harrowing film about a clash between medieval and modern in which neither looks much like a winner

An amusing fairy tale that sometimes flirts with over-seriousness

An inspiring account of a coach’s dedication and a high school football team’s success which rather underplays its chief insight into the importance of character

True, it’s not as bad as American Beauty, Sam Mendes’s earlier film, but it’s still quite bad enough.

A charming French romantic comedy that is also something of a throwback
