Oh how we longed for “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” to be great; sadly, the only thing great about it is the running time, which is over two hours. It has some amusing moments in its celebration of international musical kitsch, though, as Matt, Alonso and I...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — My Spy
“My Spy” is pure family comedy formula — big, beefy guy meets sweet, cheeky kid — but it’s got an unexpected weird streak to the humor that’s pleasing, and the chemistry between Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman is consistently charming, Both actors bring more to this material than you might...
