Movies starring Jason Lee

Mallrats (1995)

94 mins     Comedy      

"Mallrats" is what I call a generational movie, where we have a group of similar aged people all at the same place on the same day and we watch various events in that day. But this is a Kevin Smith version of a generational m...

Chasing Amy (1997)

113 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

Boy meets girl, they fall in love but something causes a wedge between them, it's a familiar romantic comedy set up and one which is the basis of "Chasing Amy" but this is a Kevin Smith movie so nothing is that simple. Now be...

Dogma (1999)

130 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Fantasy      

Kevin Smith's "Dogma" is a movie which caused controversy and I can see why because at its heart is religion. Now the thing is is "Dogma" mocking religion and being disrespectful or is it being insightful in what it says abou...

Almost Famous (2000)

122 mins     Drama, Romance      

Here is the main fact you need to know about "Almost Famous", it is writer and director Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical account of his teenage years during the 70s as a young reporter writing for Rolling Stone magazine....

Heartbreakers (2001)

123 mins     Comedy, Crime, Romance      

I honestly can't name more than 5 comedies which break the 2 hour barrier and manage to be entertaining from start to finish, in fact I can't name many more which break the hour forty five mark and achieve complete entertainm...

Vanilla Sky (2001)

136 mins     Family, Mystery, Romance      

Let me describe a few scenes in "Vanilla Sky". The first one is a fantastic sequence where after waking up David heads out on to the streets to find it completely abandoned, it is a dream sequence which leads to him waking up...

Stealing Harvard (2002)

85 mins     Comedy, Crime      

"Stealing Harvard" is not terrible, I have definitely seen worse movies but it is 85 minutes of nothing-ness, 85 minutes which you will want back once it is over. What is the problem with the movie, well lame, repeated jokes ...

A Guy Thing (2003)

101 mins     Comedy, Romance      

The most shocking things about "A Guy Thing" is that it took four writers to turn Greg Glienna's story into a screenplay which basically feels empty of originality, romance or anything which is genuinely funny. Actually that'...

The Incredibles (2004)

115 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

Ever since Pixar first wowed us with "Toy Story" back in 1995 I have slowly become more bored by the influx of digital animations. Oh they are well crafted and often amusing but so many work on simple visual humour rather tha...

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)

92 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

I remember as a child getting an "Alvin and the Chipmunks" record, do you remember those things, but other than the catchy and cute "The Chipmunk Song" I didn't really care for it. Funnily that is sort of how I feel about "Al...

Underdog (2007)

84 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

I wish at times I could think like I did when I was a child, it would make my life so much easier to review movies which are clearly made for children especially those which feature talking animals, not something I am a huge ...

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)

88 mins     Comedy, Family      

When I reviewed "Alvin and the Chipmunks" I basically said that it was fun for young children but beyond the novelty factor of mischievous singing chipmunks it had little for grown ups. And to be honest I could say the same f...

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011)

87 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Okay dokey then "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" the third of these live action Chipmunk animations and in one review I saw referred to as a pile of chip. And I can see how someone might refer to "Alvin and the Chipmunk...

Away and Back (2015)

Movie Review - Away and Back (2015) Jason Lee stars as Jack, a widow and father of three who is trying to be a single parent and keeping the tree farm going. But he finds himself dealing with Jennie (Minka Kelly), an ornithol...
