When used properly, dramatic irony, the circumstance under which the audience is aware of information that the characters are not, can be a powerful narrative tool.  The second sequence of <i>Green Zone</i> is a fine example.

The best that can be said of the characters populating <i>Our Family Wedding</i> is that one doesn't hate them, but one is entirely apathetic about them.  They just are those types of characters, ones who exist solely to act out manufactured conflict, with no apparent life outside of said conflict (except the little bit that's established to aid in the assembly said conflict), and hence in complete compulsion of the script, even when it contradicts logic, what's come before it, and, well, basic humor.

The final minutes of <i>Remember Me</i> put everything that's come before it into a larger context, and it's not the kind of gimmick -- and, yes, we shall call it what it is -- this material needs.

Review by Mark Dujsik | March 11, 2010

There are two scenes in <i>She's Out of My League</i> that stand out as out-of-character with the rest of the film.  They are remnants of a now seemingly bygone era, in which each new comedy involving teens and young adults had to top the previous one in terms of sequences that would gross out the audience more and further test the standards of the MPAA rating system.
