Reviews Featuring Zooey Deschanel

The New Guy
It’s far from being great cinema, but as entertainment it does raise some laughs and succeeds well enough to be worth watching.

All the Real Girls
All the lyrical awkwardness of first love in a small town, unfortunately accompanied by all the meandering ponderousness of a country river.

The Good Girl
A well-acted but equally pointless and pessimistic production.

Elf
Fun-filled, cleverly written and toasty warm with a gooey syrup centre, there’s just no way around it – I loved this film.

Abandon
It’s called ‘Abandon’ – and that’s exactly what you should do.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Hardly an earth-shattering solution to life, the universe and everything, but still gratifyingly eccentric.

The Happening
Nature turns mean, but not as mean as she could be in an R-rated movie, in this uneven wanna-be horror film.

Yes Man
Carrey fans will enjoy this lighthearted film, and it might even make you want to learn Korean or, at the very least, loan a homeless guy your phone.

(500) Days of Summer
An interesting and sometimes very clever not-so-romantic comedy from a promising first-time director, it still falls a little flat somewhere along the way.
