the jokes are flat , and the action looks fake .

better still , he does all of this , and more , while remaining one of the most savagely hilarious social critics this side of jonathan swift .

sheridan seems terrified of the book 's irreverent energy , and scotches most of its élan , humor , bile , and irony .

there 's very little sense to what 's going on here , but the makers serve up the cliches with considerable dash .

it may as well be called `` jar-jar binks : the movie . ''

over the years , hollywood has crafted a solid formula for successful animated movies , and ice age only improves on it , with terrific computer graphics , inventive action sequences and a droll sense of humor .

while glover , the irrepressible eccentric of river 's edge , dead man and back to the future , is perfect casting for the role , he represents bartleby 's main overall flaw .

an exhilarating experience .

a dazzling dream of a documentary .

jones ... makes a great impression as the writer-director of this little $ 1.8 million charmer , which may not be cutting-edge indie filmmaking but has a huge heart .

mandel holland 's direction is uninspired , and his scripting unsurprising , but the performances by phifer and black are ultimately winning .

as any creature-feature fan knows , when you cross toxic chemicals with a bunch of exotic creatures , you get a lot of running around , screaming and death .

i 'm not sure which is worse : the poor acting by the ensemble cast , the flat dialogue by vincent r. nebrida or the gutless direction by laurice guillen .

like the best 60 minutes exposé , the film -lrb- at 80 minutes -rrb- is actually quite entertaining .

there 's a lot of good material here , but there 's also a lot of redundancy and unsuccessful crudeness accompanying it .

it has fun with the quirks of family life , but it also treats the subject with fondness and respect .

there 's something about a marching band that gets me where i live .

black-and-white and unrealistic .

hardly an objective documentary , but it 's great cinematic polemic ... love moore or loathe him , you 've got to admire ... the intensity with which he 's willing to express his convictions .

a lovely film ... elegant , witty and beneath a prim exterior unabashedly romantic ... hugely enjoyable in its own right though not really faithful to its source 's complexity .
