perhaps it 's cliche to call the film ` refreshing , ' but it is .

as predictable as the outcome of a globetrotters-generals game , juwanna mann is even more ludicrous than you 'd expect from the guy-in-a-dress genre , and a personal low for everyone involved .

almodovar is an imaginative teacher of emotional intelligence in this engaging film about two men who discover what william james once called ` the gift of tears . '

a fantastically vital movie that manages to invest real humor , sensuality , and sympathy into a story about two adolescent boys .

... the story is far-flung , illogical , and plain stupid .

goofy , nutty , consistently funny .

if `` lilo & stitch '' is n't the most edgy piece of disney animation to hit the silver screen , then this first film to use a watercolor background since `` dumbo '' certainly ranks as the most original in years .

an extremely unpleasant film .

director juan jose campanella could have turned this into an argentine retread of `` iris '' or `` american beauty , '' but instead pulls a little from each film and creates something more beautiful than either of those films .

after seeing the film , i can tell you that there 's no other reason why anyone should bother remembering it .

an `` o bruin , where art thou ? ''

terrible .

enjoyably fast-moving , hard-hitting documentary .

it will break your heart many times over .

a film of empty , fetishistic violence in which murder is casual and fun .

a poorly scripted , preachy fable that forgets about unfolding a coherent , believable story in its zeal to spread propaganda .

it may not be `` last tango in paris '' but ...

... delivers few moments of inspiration amid the bland animation and simplistic story .

it is n't that stealing harvard is a horrible movie -- if only it were that grand a failure !

the script falls back on too many tried-and-true shenanigans that hardly distinguish it from the next teen comedy .

it tells its story in a flat manner and leaves you with the impression that you should have gotten more out of it than you did .

a smart , sassy and exceptionally charming romantic comedy .

a piquant meditation on the things that prevent people from reaching happiness .

... the film 's considered approach to its subject matter is too calm and thoughtful for agitprop , and the thinness of its characterizations makes it a failure as straight drama . '

harris is supposed to be the star of the story , but comes across as pretty dull and wooden .

they were right .

-lrb- westbrook -rrb- makes a wonderful subject for the camera .

cusack 's just brilliant in this .

what a bewilderingly brilliant and entertaining movie this is .

every child 's story is what matters .

there are far worse messages to teach a young audience , which will probably be perfectly happy with the sloppy slapstick comedy .

ferrara 's best film in years .

spare yet audacious ...

the lead actors share no chemistry or engaging charisma .

ms. phoenix is completely lacking in charm and charisma , and is unable to project either esther 's initial anomie or her eventual awakening .

basically , it 's pretty but dumb .

after that it becomes long and tedious like a classroom play in a college history course .

suffers from a decided lack of creative storytelling .

an exceptionally acted , quietly affecting cop drama .

stuart 's poor-me persona needs a whole bunch of snowball 's cynicism to cut through the sugar coating .

stitch is a bad mannered , ugly and destructive little \*\*\*\* .

alain choquart 's camera barely stops moving , portraying both the turmoil of the time and giving conduct a perpetual sense of urgency , which , for a film that takes nearly three hours to unspool , is both funny and irritating .

an intelligently made -lrb- and beautifully edited -rrb- picture that at the very least has a spark of life to it -- more than you can say for plenty of movies that flow through the hollywood pipeline without a hitch .

charlie hunnam has the twinkling eyes , repressed smile and determined face needed to carry out a dickensian hero .

this enthralling documentary ... is at once playful and haunting , an in-depth portrait of an iconoclastic artist who was fundamentally unknowable even to his closest friends .

schnitzler 's film has a great hook , some clever bits and well-drawn , if standard issue , characters , but is still only partly satisfying .

a wild , endearing , masterful documentary .

on a certain base level , blue crush delivers what it promises , just not well enough to recommend it .

if there was any doubt that peter o'fallon did n't have an original bone in his body , a rumor of angels should dispel it .

` it 's painful to watch witherspoon 's talents wasting away inside unnecessary films like legally blonde and sweet home abomination , i mean , alabama . '

nothing more than a run-of-the-mill action flick .

at its worst , it 's rambo - meets-john ford .

it 's as raw and action-packed an experience as a ringside seat at a tough-man contest .

if you can tolerate the redneck-versus-blueblood cliches that the film trades in , sweet home alabama is diverting in the manner of jeff foxworthy 's stand-up act .

it does n't work as either .

this one aims for the toilet and scores a direct hit .

innocuous enough to make even jean-claude van damme look good .

and your reward will be a thoughtful , emotional movie experience .

` lovely and amazing , ' unhappily , is neither ... excessively strained and contrived .

muddled , trashy and incompetent

the pacing is often way off and there are too many bona fide groaners among too few laughs .

that , in itself , is extraordinary .

... one big laugh , three or four mild giggles , and a whole lot of not much else .

sunshine state surveys the landscape and assesses the issues with a clear passion for sociology .

in his determination to lighten the heavy subject matter , silberling also , to a certain extent , trivializes the movie with too many nervous gags and pratfalls .

a meatballs for the bare-midriff generation .

strong filmmaking requires a clear sense of purpose , and in that oh-so-important category , the four feathers comes up short .

the best didacticism is one carried by a strong sense of humanism , and bertrand tavernier 's oft-brilliant safe conduct -lrb- `` laissez-passer '' -rrb- wears its heart on its sleeve .

i have returned from the beyond to warn you : this movie is 90 minutes long , and life is too short .

witty and often surprising , a dark little morality tale disguised as a romantic comedy .

ice age posits a heretofore unfathomable question : is it possible for computer-generated characters to go through the motions ?

watching these eccentrics is both inspiring and pure joy .

colorful , energetic and sweetly whimsical ... the rare sequel that 's better than its predecessor .

maggie g. makes an amazing breakthrough in her first starring role and eats up the screen .

most of the movie is so deadly dull that watching the proverbial paint dry would be a welcome improvement .

-lrb- taylor -rrb- takes us on a ride that 's consistently surprising , easy to watch -- but , oh , so dumb .

-lrb- a -rrb- poorly executed comedy .

a close-to-solid espionage thriller with the misfortune of being released a few decades too late .

an inventive , absorbing movie that 's as hard to classify as it is hard to resist .

the whole thing feels like a ruse , a tactic to cover up the fact that the picture is constructed around a core of flimsy -- or , worse yet , nonexistent -- ideas .

a gem of a movie .

it would be churlish to begrudge anyone for receiving whatever consolation that can be found in dragonfly , yet it is impossible to find the film anything but appalling , shamelessly manipulative and contrived , and totally lacking in conviction .

between them , de niro and murphy make showtime the most savory and hilarious guilty pleasure of many a recent movie season .

slap me , i saw this movie .

there 's no question that epps scores once or twice , but it 's telling that his funniest moment comes when he falls about ten feet onto his head .

the porky 's revenge : ultimate edition ?

hopelessly inane , humorless and under-inspired .

but the execution is a flop with the exception of about six gags that really work .

miyazaki 's nonstop images are so stunning , and his imagination so vivid , that the only possible complaint you could have about spirited away is that there is no rest period , no timeout .

a bittersweet contemporary comedy about benevolent deception , which , while it may not rival the filmmaker 's period pieces , is still very much worth seeing .

if you want to see a train wreck that you ca n't look away from , then look no further , because here it is .

then again , in a better movie , you might not have noticed .
