0 | Rarely has sex on screen been so aggressively antierotic |
0 | A dull inconsistent dishonest female bonding picture |
1 | So much about the film is loopy and ludicrous that it could have been a hoot in a badmovie way if the laborious pacing and endless exposition had been tightened |
1 | A disappointment for a movie that should have been the ultimate IMAX trip |
2 | Does little to elaborate the conceit of setting this bloodsoaked tragedy of murderous ambition in the era of Richard Nixon |
1 | This Sade is hardly a perverse dangerous libertine and agitator which would have made for better drama |

2 | In a strange way Egoyan has done too much |

1 | A shoddy male hip hop fantasy filled with guns expensive cars lots of naked women and Rocawear clothing |
1 | To the filmmakers Ivan is a prince of a fellow but he comes across as shallow and glib though not meanspirited and there 's no indication that he 's been responsible for putting together any movies of particular value or merit |
0 | This is a movie filled with unlikable spiteful idiots whether or not their friendship is salvaged makes no difference in the least |
1 | It 's as if Allen at has stopped challenging himself |

1 | A movie that the less charitable might describe as a castrated cross between Highlander and Lolita |
1 | Not only does LeBlanc make one spectacularly uglylooking broad but he appears miserable throughout as he swaggers through his scenes |
1 | There 's little to recommend Snow Dogs unless one considers cliched dialogue and perverse escapism a source of high hilarity |
2 | It 's deepsixed by a compulsion to catalog every bodily fluids gag in There 's Something About Mary and devise a parallel clonegag |
0 | The film rehashes several old themes and is capped with pointless extremes it 's insanely violent and very graphic |
0 | Sorority Boys which is as bad at it is cruel takes every potential laugh and stilettostomps the life out of it |

1 | You get a sense of good intentions derailed by a failure to seek and strike just the right tone |
0 | In this poor remake of such a well loved classic Parker exposes the limitations of his skill and the basic flaws in his vision ' |
2 | It 's the movie equivalent of a sweaty old guy in a rain coat shopping for cheap porn |
1 | The film 's final hour where nearly all the previous unseen material resides is unconvincing soap opera that Tornatore was right to cut |
1 | The movie does such an excellent job of critiquing itself at every faltering halfstep of its development that criticizing feels more like commiserating |
0 | I found it slow predictable and not very amusing |
1 | Director Yu seems far more interested in grossout humor than in showing us wellthought stunts or a car chase that we have n't seen times |
0 | Viewers will need all the luck they can muster just figuring out who 's who in this pretentious mess |
2 | A pintsized Goodfellas ' designed to appeal to the younger set it 's not a very good movie in any objective sense but it does mostly hold one 's interest |
0 | Get out your pooperscoopers |
3 | While the material is slight the movie is better than you might think |

2 | The fourth in a series that I 'll bet most parents had thought hoped |
2 | was a fad that had long since vanished |

1 | Its premise is smart but the execution is pretty weary |
1 | The holiday message of the minute Santa vs the Snowman leaves a lot to be desired |
3 | more precious than perspicacious |
1 | If you saw it on TV you 'd probably turn it off convinced that you had already seen that movie |

1 | Yet why it fails is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma |
2 | Most of the characters come off as pantomimesque sterotypes |
1 | Starts promisingly but disintegrates into a dreary humorless soap opera |
3 | While there 's likely very little crossover appeal to those without much interest in the Elizabethans LRB as well as rank frustration from those in the know about Rubbo 's dumbeddown tactics RRB Much Ado About Something is an amicable endeavor |
2 | It 's actually too sincere the crime movie equivalent of a chick flick |
2 | Most of the film feels conceived and shot on the fly like between lunch breaks for Shearer 's radio show and his Simpson voiceovers |
1 | Perry 's good and his is an interesting character but Serving Sara '' has n't much more to serve than silly fluff |
2 | Nor is it a romantic comedy |
2 | Culkin turns his character into what is basically an antiHarry Potter right down to the Gryffindor scarf |

1 | In the nottoodistant future movies like Ghost Ship will be used as analgesic balm for overstimulated minds |
1 | Right now they 're merely signposts marking the slow lingering death of imagination |

1 | Like most movies about the pitfalls of bad behavior Circuit gets drawn into the party |
0 | It appears as if even the filmmakers did n't know what kind of movie they were making |

1 | Nicolas Cage is n't the first actor to lead a group of talented friends astray and this movie wo n't create a ruffle in what is already an erratic career |
1 | It lacks the compassion goodnatured humor and the level of insight that made LRB Eyre 's RRB first film something of a sleeper success |

1 | A sustained fest of selfcongratulation between actor and director that leaves scant place for the viewer |
2 | All Analyze That proves is that there is really only one movie 's worth of decent gags to be gleaned from the premise |
1 | Green ruins every single scene he 's in and the film while it 's not completely wreaked is seriously compromised by that |
0 | There 's not a comedic moment in this romantic comedy |
1 | The story is predictable the jokes are typical Sandler fare and the romance with Ryder is puzzling |
2 | Wallace directs with such patronising reverence it turns the stomach |
1 | Resurrection has the dubious distinction of being a really bad imitation of the really bad Blair Witch Project |
0 | Poor Ben Bratt could n't find stardom if MapQuest emailed him pointtopoint driving directions |
