The Round Up ((La Rafle))
Film Reviews: Turning one of the darkest moments in modern French history into syrupy historical drama, writer-director Rose Bosch's "The Round Up" is a polished, pathos-driven re-creation of the Vichy regime's mass imprisonment and disposal of 13,000 Parisian Jews in summer 1942. With impeccable production values and all-around stirring performances, pic emphasizes the unbearable emotions caused by "events, even the most extreme, that actually happened" (per opening credits), though it often oversimplifies them into a framework of good vs. evil. Following wide local release March 10, this €20 million ($27 million) co-production should round up ample worldwide biz.

Sons of Tucson
TV Reviews: Fox hasn't enjoyed a live-action comedy hit since "Malcolm in the Middle," and has learned that incorporating flesh-and-blood characters into its Sunday animation block poses a considerable challenge. So the network reaches into an old bag for the "Malcolm"-like "Sons of Tucson," whose timely premise -- well-to-do kids need an aimless loser to masquerade as their father because real dad, a banker, is in prison -- possesses more pop than the actual episodes. Tyler Labine brings manic energy to his role as the pseudo-pop, but the three brothers register closer to the bottom than middle of the sitcom-kid scale.
