Movie Review

Grade: B If you're looking for a good family action-comedy this holiday season, you may not need to look any further than 2004's "Around the World in 80 Days," a surprisingly funny and entertaining film that will please everyone young and old. Though the film is obviously nothing like Jules Verne's novel, the comedic timing of Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan makes it more than worthwhile. Read the full movie review
