      Unfortunately, this richly observed world serves largely as a backdrop for a bland yarn about a nice young man learning valuable life lessons from his eccentric employer and a more worldly love interest (a wasted Emily Blunt). ( Read More )
    • Owen Gleiberman

      The Great Buck Howard is in love with kitsch, the backwaters of showbiz, and true magic. Its a wee charmer that left me enchanted. ( Read More )
