2 | LRB Allen 's RRB been making piffle for a long while and Hollywood Ending may be his way of saying that piffle is all that the airhead movie business deserves from him right now |
0 | An exercise in cynicism every bit as ugly as the shabby digital photography and muddy sound |

2 | passable enough for a shootout in the ok court house of life type of flick |

1 | Formula promises a new kind of high but delivers the same old bad trip |
1 | Everything that was right about Blade is wrong in its sequel |
2 | A few energetic stunt sequences briefly enliven the film but the wheezing terrorist subplot has n't the stamina for the minute running time and the protagonists ' bohemian boorishness mars the spirit of good clean fun |

0 | Obvious obnoxious and didactic burlesque |
0 | The most surprising thing about this film is that they are actually releasing it into theaters |
1 | Michele is a such a brainless flibbertigibbet that it 's hard to take her spiritual quest at all seriously |
2 | Ultimately clarity matters both in breaking codes and making movies |
1 | Enigma lacks it |
1 | Pottymouthed enough for PG yet not as hilariously raunchy as South Park this strangely schizo cartoon seems suited neither to kids or adults |

1 | The milieu is wholly unconvincing and the histrionics reach a truly annoying pitch |
0 | Unfunny comedy with a lot of static set ups not much camera movement and most of the scenes take place indoors in formal settings with motionless characters |
1 | Each story is built on a potentially interesting idea but the first two are ruined by amateurish writing and acting while the third feels limited by its short running time |
