Carlos Saldanha is back with "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," the latest installment in the popular animated series. The flick features the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah and Simon Pegg, and here's what some of the Web's critics think about the sequel:

• William Goss at Cinematical: "All in all, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an improvement over its massively forgettable predecessor: generally inoffensive (save perhaps for history buffs), a bit more charming than most of the non-Pixar competition, and frivolous in the best possible sense."

• Mack Rawden at CinemaBlend: "Lazy, transparent, disposable and at its worst, boring, Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs is a sometimes beautiful piece of animation consistently ruined by unfocused directing, bizarre editing choices, phoned-in voice acting, and a script which is neither witty nor filled with momentum."

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "I enjoyed the first Ice Age when the idea felt new and fresh, but it is now nothing more than been-there, done-that tedium."

Are you in the mood for a holiday family flick? Then Alfredo De Villa's "Nothing Like the Holidays" is just right for you. Starring John Leguizamo, Debra Messing, Vanessa Ferlito, Jay Hernandez, Melonie Diaz, Alfred Molina and many others, the film follows a family's desperate attempt to celebrate a peaceful Christmas. Here's what the Web's critics have to say about it:

• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "People do things that are illogical if not outright stupid, and out of character, for the sake of the creaky plot and maybe a laugh."

• Collider's Brian Orndorf: "If the filmmaking fails to a certain degree, the charisma of the performers picks up the slack."

• Kevin Carr at FilmSchoolRejects: "I thought there were some pretty funny moments, most of them courtesy of Luis Guzman and John Leguizamo."
