"Will Smith raises his game and insists that those around him do the same. The result is a movie that's massively entertaining, and another jewel in its star's cinematic crown."

"I hesitate to call the film "touching" because that's kind of the antithesis of R-rated humor. So instead I will say that I Love You, Man locates comedy in the truth, and I laughed consistently."

"I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry revels in gay stereotypes and allegedly funny uses of derogatory words, then tries to squeeze out a pro-tolerance message at the end. The whole thing rings as insincerely as an Isaiah Washington apology."

". The door is left open for another sequel. I have an idea for it: a movie studio is about to greenlight yet another subpar teen slasher pic, but the fisherman comes in and hooks everyone before production can start. Sound good?"
