Reviews in a nutshell
Beasts of the Southern Wild child star Quvenzhané Wallis drags the character of Annie kicking and screaming into the 21st Century in the 2014 remake. For starters, she often reminds us she’s “not an orphan” but a “foster kid” – a term more commonly recognised these days with unconventional families the norm. She’s still singing …
The only thing that Sex Tape can be commended on is how trim its leads have got for their parts – well, Cameron Diaz just looks even fitter. In fact, like all ‘cuddly’ comedians who lose weight, you spend the first ten minutes trying to get over how different Jason Segel looks, by which stage, …
