-lrb- taylor -rrb- takes us on a ride that 's consistently surprising , easy to watch -- but , oh , so dumb .
2
neutral
most thrillers send audiences out talking about specific scary scenes or startling moments ; `` frailty '' leaves us with the terrifying message that the real horror may be waiting for us at home .

positive
the difference between cho and most comics is that her confidence in her material is merited .
3
positive
this remake of lina wertmuller 's 1975 eroti-comedy might just be the biggest husband-and-wife disaster since john and bo derek made the ridiculous bolero .

holland lets things peter out midway , but it 's notably better acted -- and far less crass - than some other recent efforts in the burgeoning genre of films about black urban professionals .

an inventive , absorbing movie that 's as hard to classify as it is hard to resist .
4
very positive
-lrb- russell -rrb- makes good b movies -lrb- the mask , the blob -rrb- , and the scorpion king more than ably meets those standards .
3
positive
what little grace -lrb- rifkin 's -rrb- tale of precarious skid-row dignity achieves is pushed into the margins by predictable plotting and tiresome histrionics .
1
negative
the last scenes of the film are anguished , bitter and truthful .
3
positive
however sincere it may be , the rising place never quite justifies its own existence .
1
negative
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 .

negative
mr. clooney , mr. kaufman and all their collaborators are entitled to take a deep bow for fashioning an engrossing entertainment out of an almost sure-fire prescription for a critical and commercial disaster .
3
positive
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 .

very negative
both deserve better .
1
negative
between them , de niro and murphy make showtime the most savory and hilarious guilty pleasure of many a recent movie season .
4
very positive
upsetting and thought-provoking , the film has an odd purity that does n't bring you into the characters so much as it has you study them .

visually , ` santa clause 2 ' is wondrously creative .
3
positive
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 .
2

a coming-of-age tale from new zealand whose boozy , languid air is balanced by a rich visual clarity and deeply felt performances across the board .
3
positive
the porky 's revenge : ultimate edition ?
2

` it 's better to go in knowing full well what 's going to happen , but willing to let the earnestness of its execution and skill of its cast take you down a familiar road with a few twists .

ponderous , plodding soap opera disguised as a feature film .

1
negative
director roger kumble offers just enough sweet and traditional romantic comedy to counter the crudity .
3
positive
a bittersweet contemporary comedy about benevolent deception , which , while it may not rival the filmmaker 's period pieces , is still very much worth seeing .
4
very positive
if you want to see a train wreck that you ca n't look away from , then look no further , because here it is .
2
neutral
gorgeous to look at but insufferably tedious and turgid ... a curiously constricted epic .
1
negative
then again , in a better movie , you might not have noticed .
0
very negative
a fairly enjoyable mixture of longest yard ... and the 1999 guy ritchie caper lock stock and two smoking barrels .
3
positive
the re - enactments , however fascinating they may be as history , are too crude to serve the work especially well .
1
negative
if a horror movie 's primary goal is to frighten and disturb , then they works spectacularly well ... a shiver-inducing , nerve-rattling ride .

very positive
oedekerk mugs mercilessly , and the genuinely funny jokes are few and far between .

often silly -- and gross -- but it 's rarely as moronic as some campus gross-out films .

you may feel compelled to watch the film twice or pick up a book on the subject .
3
positive
slow and ponderous , but rohmer 's drama builds to an intense indoor drama about compassion , sacrifice , and christian love in the face of political corruption .

very positive
a witty , low-key romantic comedy .
4
very positive
what enlivens this film , beyond the astute direction of cardoso and beautifully detailed performances by all of the actors , is a note of defiance over social dictates .
3
positive
an exhausting family drama about a porcelain empire and just as hard a flick as its subject matter .
2
neutral
a delightful little film that revels in its own simplicity , mostly martha will leave you with a smile on your face and a grumble in your stomach .
3
positive
it 's hard to quibble with a flick boasting this many genuine cackles , but notorious c.h.o. still feels like a promising work-in-progress .
3
positive
a shoddy male hip hop fantasy filled with guns , expensive cars , lots of naked women and rocawear clothing .
1
negative
a strong and confident work which works so well for the first 89 minutes , but ends so horrendously confusing in the final two

3
positive
a decidedly mixed bag .

4
very positive
on top of a foundering performance , -lrb- madonna 's -rrb- denied her own athleticism by lighting that emphasizes every line and sag .
1
negative

2
neutral
paxton 's uneven directorial debut fails to unlock the full potential of what is in many ways a fresh and dramatically substantial spin on the genre .

on the surface a silly comedy , scotland , pa would be forgettable if it were n't such a clever adaptation of the bard 's tragic play .
3
positive
mostly works because of the universal themes , earnest performances ... and excellent use of music by india 's popular gulzar and jagjit singh .
4
very positive
about the only thing to give the movie points for is bravado -- to take an entirely stale concept and push it through the audience 's meat grinder one more time .
0
very negative
but the performances of pacino , williams , and swank keep the viewer wide-awake all the way through .
4
very positive
it somehow managed to make its way past my crappola radar and find a small place in my heart
2
neutral
a boring , pretentious muddle that uses a sensational , real-life 19th-century crime as a metaphor for -- well , i 'm not exactly sure what -- and has all the dramatic weight of a raindrop .
0
very negative
far from heaven is a dazzling conceptual feat , but more than that , it 's a work of enthralling drama .
3
positive
blessed with a searing lead performance by ryan gosling -lrb- murder by numbers -rrb- , the movie is powerful and provocative .
4
very positive
this movie has a strong message about never giving up on a loved one , but it 's not an easy movie to watch and will probably disturb many who see it .
2
neutral
although it does n't always hang together -- violence and whimsy do n't combine easily -- `` cherish '' certainly is n't dull .
2
neutral
the film desperately sinks further and further into comedy futility .
