aspires to the cracked lunacy of the adventures of buckaroo banzai , but thanks to an astonishingly witless script ends up more like the adventures of ford fairlane .
1
negative
it 's packed to bursting with incident , and with scores of characters , some fictional , some from history .
2
neutral
far more successful , if considerably less ambitious , than last year 's kubrick-meets-spielberg exercise .

when it 's this rich and luscious , who cares ?

informative , intriguing , observant , often touching ... gives a human face to what 's often discussed in purely abstract terms .
4
very positive
a compelling pre-wwii drama with vivid characters and a warm , moving message .

a bizarre piece of work , with premise and dialogue at the level of kids ' television and plot threads as morose as teen pregnancy , rape and suspected murder

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 .

it strikes hardest ... when it reminds you how pertinent its dynamics remain .
3
positive
most consumers of lo mein and general tso 's chicken barely give a thought to the folks who prepare and deliver it , so , hopefully , this film will attach a human face to all those little steaming cartons .
3
positive
even in terms of the low-grade cheese standards on which it operates , it never quite makes the grade as tawdry trash .
1
negative
the nicest thing that can be said about stealing harvard -lrb- which might have been called freddy gets molested by a dog -rrb- is that it 's not as obnoxious as tom green 's freddie got fingered .
1
negative
the filmmakers lack the nerve ... to fully exploit the script 's potential for sick humor .
2
neutral
ill-considered , unholy hokum .
1
negative
it 's just merely very bad .

a flick about our infantilized culture that is n't entirely infantile .
3
positive
rymer does n't trust laughs -- and does n't conjure proper respect for followers of the whole dead-undead genre , who deserve more from a vampire pic than a few shrieky special effects .
1
negative
what begins as a film in the tradition of the graduate quickly switches into something more recyclable than significant .

trying to make head or tail of the story in the hip-hop indie snipes is enough to give you brain strain -- and the pay-off is negligible .
1
negative
the film does give a pretty good overall picture of the situation in laramie following the murder of matthew shepard .
3
positive
this toothless dog , already on cable , loses all bite on the big screen .
1
negative
this rich , bittersweet israeli documentary , about the life of song-and-dance-man pasach ` ke burstein and his family , transcends ethnic lines .
3
positive
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 .

very negative
a generic family comedy unlikely to be appreciated by anyone outside the under-10 set .
0
very negative
an amateurish , quasi-improvised acting exercise shot on ugly digital video .

very negative
the very simple story seems too simple and the working out of the plot almost arbitrary .

very negative
the elements were all there but lack of a pyschological center knocks it flat .
1
negative
exactly what its title implies : lusty , boisterous and utterly charming .
3
positive
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 .

let 's see , a haunted house , a haunted ship , what 's next ... ghost blimp ?
1
negative
with its paint fights , motorized scooter chases and dewy-eyed sentiment , it 's a pretty listless collection of kid-movie clichés .
1
negative
based on dave barry 's popular book of the same name , the movie benefits from having a real writer plot out all of the characters ' moves and overlapping story .
3
positive
what 's missing is what we call the ` wow ' factor .
1
negative
normally , rohmer 's talky films fascinate me , but when he moves his setting to the past , and relies on a historical text , he loses the richness of characterization that makes his films so memorable .

negative
even if it is generally amusing from time to time , i spy has all the same problems the majority of action comedies have .

you watch for that sense of openness , the little surprises .
3
positive
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 .
4
very positive
the abiding impression , despite the mild hallucinogenic buzz , is of overwhelming waste -- the acres of haute couture ca n't quite conceal that there 's nothing resembling a spine here .
1
negative
it throws quirky characters , odd situations , and off-kilter dialogue at us , all as if to say , `` look at this !
3

3
positive
it 's 51 times better than this .
2
neutral
directors harry gantz and joe gantz have chosen a fascinating subject matter , but the couples exposing themselves are n't all that interesting .
2
neutral
a film neither bitter nor sweet , neither romantic nor comedic , neither warm nor fuzzy .

sodden and glum , even in those moments where it 's supposed to feel funny and light .
1

with nary a glimmer of self-knowledge , -lrb- crane -rrb- becomes more specimen than character -- and auto focus remains a chilly , clinical lab report .

a manically generous christmas vaudeville .
3
positive
the powder blues and sun-splashed whites of tunis make an alluring backdrop for this sensuous and spirited tale of a prim widow who finds an unlikely release in belly-dancing clubs .

very positive
these three films form a remarkably cohesive whole , both visually and thematically , through their consistently sensitive and often exciting treatment of an ignored people .

it 's just weirdness for the sake of weirdness , and where human nature should be ingratiating , it 's just grating .
1
negative
its audacious ambitions sabotaged by pomposity , steven soderbergh 's space opera emerges as a numbingly dull experience .
1
negative
the balkans provide the obstacle course for the love of a good woman .
2
neutral
it works its magic with such exuberance and passion that the film 's length becomes a part of its fun .
4
very positive
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
very negative
it goes on for too long and bogs down in a surfeit of characters and unnecessary subplots .
0
very negative
a feel-good movie that does n't give you enough to feel good about .

i was feeling this movie until it veered off too far into the exxon zone , and left me behind at the station looking for a return ticket to realism .

it 's hard to pity the ` plain ' girl who becomes a ravishing waif after applying a smear of lip-gloss .
1
negative
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 .
2
neutral
why anyone who is not a character in this movie should care is beyond me .
0
very negative
the plot is romantic comedy boilerplate from start to finish .
2
neutral
the movie 's major and most devastating flaw is its reliance on formula , though , and it 's quite enough to lessen the overall impact the movie could have had .
1
negative
it is depressing , ruthlessly pained and depraved , the movie equivalent of staring into an open wound .
