Admit One 3/12

Four new movies are opening this weekend but will any of them be able to top Alice in Wonderland?

Green Zone

Starring: Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleason

Directed by: Paul Greengrass

Plot: Army Inspector Roy Miller and his team are searching for WMDs during the early days of the US occupation in Iraq and they uncover a conspiracy that could throw the region into chaos.

Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 48%

Critic Consensus: “Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass return to the propulsive action and visceral editing of the Bourne films — but a cliched script and stock characters keep those methods from being as effective this time around.”

Remember Me

Starring: Robert Pattinson, Emilie De Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper

Directed by: Allen Coulter

Plot: A troubled young man in New York City falls for a girl and begins to heal from a family tragedy.

RT Freshness: 31%

Critic Consensus: “Its leads are likeable, but Remember Me suffers from an overly maudlin script and a borderline offensive final twist.”

She’s Out of My League

Starring: Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve, TJ Miller, Mike Vogel

Directed by: Jim Field Smith

Plot: A nerdy airport worker stumbles into a relationship with a gorgeous girl, much to his friends’ confusion.

RT Freshness: 45%

Critic Consensus: “She’s Out of My League has moments of humor and insight, but it’s bogged down by excessive vulgarity and cartoonishness.”

Our Family Wedding

Starring: America Ferrara, Lance Gross, Forest Whitaker, Carlos Mencia

Directed by: Rick Famuyiwa

Plot: A young couple tries to get ready for their wedding but their competitive fathers threaten to throw the whole thing off the rails.

RT Freshness: 17%

Critic Consensus: “Our Family Wedding is a mirthless, contrived affair that does little with its promising premise and talented cast.”
