Reviews Featuring Bernie Mac

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
One big self-referential mess, created entirely for visual effect at the total expense of plot, entertainment value and wit.

Head Of State
A squandered chance to use biting comedy to get right under the skin of the American political system. It’s not completely unfunny, but it is a complete cop-out.

Bad Santa
Hilariously irreverent antidote to a cloying Christmas.

Ocean's Eleven
Cooler than a cucumber plantation, but not as funny.

Guess Who
This inverted reimagining of 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?' is none too original, but behind its smile there's a welcome snarl.

Mr 3000
Bernie proves there’s more to the Mac in this likable tale of when baseball stats go wrong.

Old Dogs
Not as inherently awful as, say, The Love Guru, Old Dogs still manages to be very, very bad and waste the time of so many talented people.
