| Posted: Having nicely established her big-screen credibility with the summer hit "Knocked Up," Katherine Heigl tries a little further "Grey's Anatomy" moonlighting on for size with "27 Dresses." But while Heigl is terrific, this uninspired romantic comedy is considerably less so. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- "Phoebe in Wonderland" reverberates with the frustration of a young girl who seeks refuge in a fantasy world when her parents and school fail her. A jarring and sweet depiction of disability, "Phoebe" should win hearts on the art house circuit and appeal to female and family audiences on cable. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- Her own role is just a supporting turn, but Charlize Theron brings force and integrity to her acting and also to her work behind the camera. Although the story is too grim to attract a large audience, all the performances deserve accolades. |

| Posted: PARK CITY -- With a title such as "Smart People," this satiric film revolving around academia signals that its characters may be too smart for their own good. In |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- As a first time feature director, Johan Renck fails to appreciate the difference between risk-taking and recklessness. In "Downloading Nancy," the Swedish video and commercial director seeks artistic adventure but winds up with pointless self-indulgence. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- Sunday mornings don't usually go down with standing ovations, but "The Wackness" inspired a packed Sundance house to forget their Saturday-night pains and stand up and cheer. It's hard to envision "The Wackness" not winning the Audience Award. |
