Bateman, Jason

• Break-Up, The (2006)

  [5/10]

  "The utter lack of romantic chemistry between Vaughn and Aniston dooms The Break-Up, since the audience really doesn't care if the couple gets back together or not, and the few meager laughs don't really merit spending any time or money at the theater on this film."

• Juno (2007)

  [8/10]

  "Juno does a good job at portraying a particular girl's experience with teen pregnancy, although I don't think you can extend this portrait much beyond Juno's character since she has more self-confidence and personal determination than most adults."

• Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)

  [4/10]

  "The film tries to do to much in the short running time. Just resolving any one of the four major plot problems could have occupied the entire space of the film, and the resolutions we do get leave too many unanswered questions."

  Average score: 5.67
