festers in just such a dungpile that you 'd swear you were watching monkeys flinging their feces at you .

yes , i have given this movie a rating of zero .
2
those who are n't put off by the film 's austerity will find it more than capable of rewarding them .
1
we could have expected a little more human being , and a little less product .
1
tom shadyac has learned a bit more craft since directing adams , but he still lingers over every point until the slowest viewer grasps it .
1
veers uncomfortably close to pro-serb propaganda .
2
a fascinating literary mystery story with multiple strands about the controversy of who really wrote shakespeare 's plays .
2
... one of the more influential works of the ` korean new wave ' .
1
in the long , dishonorable history of quickie teen-pop exploitation , like mike stands out for its only partly synthetic decency .
1
a movie that seems motivated more by a desire to match mortarboards with dead poets society and good will hunting than by its own story .
0
boy , has this franchise ever run out of gas .
0
two hours of junk .
0
this is absolutely and completely ridiculous and an insult to every family whose mother has suffered through the horrible pains of a death by cancer .
2
infidelity drama is nicely shot , well-edited and features a standout performance by diane lane .
1
overall , it 's a pretty mediocre family film .
0
but the 2002 film does n't really believe in it , and breaks the mood with absurdly inappropriate ` comedy ' scenes .
0
like life on the island , the movie grows boring despite the scenery .
1
it 's packed to bursting with incident , and with scores of characters , some fictional , some from history .
1
and `` they 're coming ! ''
1
a glossy knock-off of a b-movie revenge flick .
2
informative , intriguing , observant , often touching ... gives a human face to what 's often discussed in purely abstract terms .
2
a compelling pre-wwii drama with vivid characters and a warm , moving message .
0
skip this turd and pick your nose instead because you 're sure to get more out of the latter experience .
2
what a concept , what an idea , what a thrill ride .
0
be forewarned , if you 're depressed about anything before watching this film , you may just end up trying to drown yourself in a lake afterwards .
1
i 'm all for the mentally challenged getting their fair shot in the movie business , but surely it does n't have to be as a collection of keening and self-mutilating sideshow geeks .
1
the filmmakers lack the nerve ... to fully exploit the script 's potential for sick humor .
0
it 's just merely very bad .
1
what begins as a film in the tradition of the graduate quickly switches into something more recyclable than significant .
1
b picture , and i mean that as a compliment .
1
leading a double life in an american film only comes to no good , but not here .
1
or else a doggie winks .
1
especially compared with the television series that inspired the movie .
0
boll uses a lot of quick cutting and blurry step-printing to goose things up , but dopey dialogue and sometimes inadequate performances kill the effect .
0
this 90-minute dud could pass for mike tyson 's e !
0
a generic family comedy unlikely to be appreciated by anyone outside the under-10 set .
0
an amateurish , quasi-improvised acting exercise shot on ugly digital video .
0
the very simple story seems too simple and the working out of the plot almost arbitrary .
0
what remains is a variant of the nincompoop benigni persona , here a more annoying , though less angry version of the irresponsible sandlerian manchild , undercut by the voice of the star of road trip .
2
heartwarming here relies less on forced air than on petter n忙ss ' delicate , clever direction ... and a wonderful , imaginative script by axel hellstenius .
2
the urban landscapes are detailed down to the signs on the kiosks , and the color palette , with lots of somber blues and pinks , is dreamy and evocative .
1
the film truly does rescue -lrb- the funk brothers -rrb- from motown 's shadows .
1
this is not chabrol 's best , but even his lesser works outshine the best some directors can offer .
1
it 's 51 times better than this .
1
directors harry gantz and joe gantz have chosen a fascinating subject matter , but the couples exposing themselves are n't all that interesting .
1
it 's a brilliant , honest performance by nicholson , but the film is an agonizing bore except when the fantastic kathy bates turns up .
0
of all the halloween 's , this is the most visually unappealing .
2
light , silly , photographed with colour and depth , and rather a good time .
0
nothing about the film -- with the possible exception of elizabeth hurley 's breasts -- is authentic .
2
with dickens ' words and writer-director douglas mcgrath 's even-toned direction , a ripping good yarn is told .
1
certainly .
1
simultaneously heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely sad .
0
i approached the usher and said that if she had to sit through it again , she should ask for a raise .
2
the film is enriched by an imaginatively mixed cast of antic spirits , headed by christopher plummer as the subtlest and most complexly evil uncle ralph i 've ever seen in the many film and stage adaptations of the work .
2
these three films form a remarkably cohesive whole , both visually and thematically , through their consistently sensitive and often exciting treatment of an ignored people .
2
insanely hilarious !
1
the balkans provide the obstacle course for the love of a good woman .
2
it works its magic with such exuberance and passion that the film 's length becomes a part of its fun .
0
even if the enticing prospect of a lot of nubile young actors in a film about campus depravity did n't fade amid the deliberate , tiresome ugliness , it would be rendered tedious by avary 's failure to construct a story with even a trace of dramatic interest .
0
it goes on for too long and bogs down in a surfeit of characters and unnecessary subplots .
1
this version of h.g. wells ' time machine was directed by h.g. wells ' great-grandson .
2
if the real-life story is genuinely inspirational , the movie stirs us as well .
2
the large-frame imax camera lends itself beautifully to filming the teeming life on the reefs , making this gorgeous film a must for everyone from junior scientists to grown-up fish lovers .
1
the ending does n't work ... but most of the movie works so well i 'm almost recommending it , anyway -- maybe not to everybody , but certainly to people with a curiosity about how a movie can go very right , and then step wrong .
0
why anyone who is not a character in this movie should care is beyond me .
1
the plot is romantic comedy boilerplate from start to finish .
0
it is depressing , ruthlessly pained and depraved , the movie equivalent of staring into an open wound .
1
the film affords us intriguing glimpses of the insights gleaned from a lifetime of spiritual inquiry , but ram dass : fierce grace does n't organize it with any particular insight .
0
as aimless as an old pickup skidding completely out of control on a long patch of black ice , the movie makes two hours feel like four .
2
a comedy-drama of nearly epic proportions rooted in a sincere performance by the title character undergoing midlife crisis .
0
a horrible , 99-minute stink bomb .
1
it briefly flirts with player masochism , but the point of real interest - -- audience sadism -- is evaded completely .
0
a dull , somnambulant exercise in pretension whose pervasive quiet is broken by frequent outbursts of violence and noise .
1
the doofus-on - the-loose banter of welcome to collinwood has a cocky , after-hours loopiness to it .
0
it is n't quite one of the worst movies of the year .
1
cinematic pratfalls given a working over .
1
underachieves only in not taking the shakespeare parallels quite far enough .
1
apparently writer-director attal thought he need only cast himself and his movie-star wife sitting around in their drawers to justify a film .
2
handled correctly , wilde 's play is a masterpiece of elegant wit and artifice .
2
this is the best star trek movie in a long time .
2
a winning comedy with its wry observations about long-lived friendships and the ways in which we all lose track of ourselves by trying to please others .
1
it 's time to let your hair down -- greek style .
1
charlize chases kevin with a gun .
1
the directive to protect the code at all costs also begins to blur as the importance of the man and the code merge
1
steers has an unexpectedly adamant streak of warm-blooded empathy for all his disparate manhattan denizens -- especially the a \*\* holes .
1
... the same tired old gags , modernized for the extreme sports generation .
2
it is sentimental but feels free to offend , is analytical and then surrenders to the illogic of its characters , is about grief and yet permits laughter .
1
a slight and obvious effort , even for one whose target demographic is likely still in the single digits , age-wise .
1
this will go on so long as there are moviegoers anxious to see strange young guys doing strange guy things .
0
a story which fails to rise above its disgusting source material .
1
a sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale .
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 . '
1
pull -lrb- s -rrb- off the rare trick of recreating not only the look of a certain era , but also the feel .
0
the actors try hard but come off too amateurish and awkward .
2
easily the most thoughtful fictional examination of the root causes of anti-semitism ever seen on screen .
1
... either you 're willing to go with this claustrophobic concept or you 're not .
1
a family-friendly fantasy that ends up doing very little with its imaginative premise .
1
its vision of that awkward age when sex threatens to overwhelm everything else is acute enough to make everyone who has been there squirm with recognition .
0
new ways of describing badness need to be invented to describe exactly how bad it is .
0
it 's a bad sign when you 're rooting for the film to hurry up and get to its subjects ' deaths just so the documentary will be over , but it 's indicative of how uncompelling the movie is unless it happens to cover your particular area of interest .
