| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Raising Helen Movie Rating:  Painfully Predictable
| |
| When her sister and brother-in-law die in a car accident, fast-living fashion executive Helen (Kate Hudson) must step in to raise her nephew and two nieces. She's absolutely unprepared for the responsibility and needs constant help from her other sister, Jenny (Joan Cusack), a Supermum who resents being passed over for the job of guardian. | |
| Unsurprisingly, as with everything else in this painfully predictable and unfunny big-screen sitcom, Helen finally learns the true meaning of family, parenthood, and life, thanks to her exposure to the bratty kids and the near-poverty living conditions their presence creates. |
