Melanie Lynskey’s relatable, raw performance deserves a great review. The rest of the movie, eh, not so much.
The only thing scary about this DOA horror attempt is that it ever got made.
In reality a hit and run is a serious crime. In that way, Dax Shepard’s wildly uneven amalgam of action, comedy and romance is dead on.
This is a documentary about 69-year-old identical twin prostitutes, but it’s never anything more than that.

A David Cronenberg film that takes place entirely in a limo which, like the story, barely moves forward.
Odd Disney flick appeals to parents and their children equally. That is: not at all.
The comedic one-upmanship between Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis results in a raunchy political comedy that’s also insightful almost in spite of itself.
Matt who? Jeremy Renner finally gets his due in this well-crafted and entirely satisfying entry in the sturdy spy franchise.
