there is so much plodding sensitivity .
2
neutral
intriguing and downright intoxicating .
4
very positive
a sharp satire of desperation and cinematic deception .
3
positive
i still like moonlight mile , better judgment be damned .
3
positive
a showcase for both the scenic splendor of the mountains and for legendary actor michel serrault , the film is less successful on other levels .

neutral
with an expressive face reminiscent of gong li and a vivid personality like zhang ziyi 's , dong stakes out the emotional heart of happy .

steve oedekerk is , alas , no woody allen .

george lucas returns as a visionary with a tale full of nuance and character dimension .
3
positive
putting the primitive murderer inside a high-tech space station unleashes a pandora 's box of special effects that run the gamut from cheesy to cheesier to cheesiest .
1
negative
with the cheesiest monsters this side of a horror spoof , which they is n't , it is more likely to induce sleep than fright .

though tom shadyac 's film kicks off spookily enough , around the halfway mark it takes an abrupt turn into glucose sentimentality and laughable contrivance .

negative
`` auto focus '' works as an unusual biopic and document of male swingers in the playboy era

positive
with jump cuts , fast editing and lots of pyrotechnics , yu clearly hopes to camouflage how bad his movie is .

one of the most depressing movie-going experiences i can think of is to sit through about 90 minutes of a so-called ` comedy ' and not laugh once .

if you adored the full monty so resoundingly that you 're dying to see the same old thing in a tired old setting , then this should keep you reasonably entertained .
2
neutral
its compelling mix of trial movie , escape movie and unexpected fable ensures the film never feels draggy .
3
positive
not a bad premise , but the execution is lackluster at best .
2
neutral
insightfully written , delicately performed
4
very positive
shyamalan should stop trying to please his mom .
1
negative
kung pow is oedekerk 's realization of his childhood dream to be in a martial-arts flick , and proves that sometimes the dreams of youth should remain just that .
1
negative
wimps out by going for that pg-13 rating , so the more graphic violence is mostly off-screen and the sexuality is muted .
1
negative
in my opinion , analyze that is not as funny or entertaining as analyze this , but it is a respectable sequel .
2
neutral
the directing and story are disjointed , flaws that have to be laid squarely on taylor 's doorstep .

very negative
the movie 's thesis -- elegant technology for the masses -- is surprisingly refreshing .
3
positive
it 's no lie -- big fat liar is a real charmer .

positive
you 'll cry for your money back .

positive
i loved the look of this film .
3
positive
this little film is so slovenly done , so primitive in technique , that it ca n't really be called animation .

very negative
another boorish movie from the i-heard-a-joke - at-a-frat-party school of screenwriting .
0
very negative
it has its faults , but it is a kind , unapologetic , sweetheart of a movie , and mandy moore leaves a positive impression .
3
positive
a baffling mixed platter of gritty realism and magic realism with a hard-to-swallow premise .
1
negative
the code talkers deserved better than a hollow tribute .
1
negative
for proof of that on the cinematic front , look no further than this 20th anniversary edition of the film that spielberg calls , retrospectively , his most personal work yet .
3
positive
clayburgh and tambor are charming performers ; neither of them deserves eric schaeffer .
2
neutral
the pitch must have read like a discarded house beautiful spread .

negative
two badly interlocked stories drowned by all too clever complexity .
1
negative
when the violence actually shocked ?
2
neutral
aloof and lacks any real raw emotion , which is fatal for a film that relies on personal relationships .

an ambitious , serious film that manages to do virtually everything wrong ; sitting through it is something akin to an act of cinematic penance .
2
neutral
while parker and co-writer catherine di napoli are faithful to melville 's plotline , they and a fully engaged supporting cast ... have made the old boy 's characters more quick-witted than any english lit major would have thought possible .

less-than-compelling documentary of a yiddish theater clan .
2
neutral
comedian , like its subjects , delivers the goods and audiences will have a fun , no-frills ride .
3
positive
it was only a matter of time before some savvy producer saw the potential success inherent in the mixture of bullock bubble and hugh goo .
3
positive
it 's a documentary that says that the alternate sexuality meant to set you free may require so much relationship maintenance that celibacy can start looking good .
2
neutral
it 's virtually impossible to like any of these despicable characters .
1
negative
it 's a sweet , laugh-a-minute crowd pleaser that lifts your spirits as well as the corners of your mouth .

negative
the film delivers what it promises : a look at the `` wild ride '' that ensues when brash young men set out to conquer the online world with laptops , cell phones and sketchy business plans .
3
positive
it thankfully goes easy on the reel\/real world dichotomy that -lrb- jaglom -rrb- pursued with such enervating determination in venice\/venice .
3
positive
a fake street drama that keeps telling you things instead of showing them .
1
negative
like showgirls and glitter , the most entertaining moments here are unintentional .

negative
possession is in the end an honorable , interesting failure .
2
neutral
the story is predictable , the jokes are typical sandler fare , and the romance with ryder is puzzling .
1
negative
mark pellington 's latest pop thriller is as kooky and overeager as it is spooky and subtly in love with myth .

positive
no amount of burning , blasting , stabbing , and shooting can hide a weak script .

hollywood 's answer to an air ball .

neutral
prepare to marvel again .
3
positive
family togetherness takes a back seat to inter-family rivalry and workplace ambition ... whole subplots have no explanation or even plot relevance .

negative
stiff and schmaltzy and clumsily directed .

troubling and powerful .
3
positive
the film virtually chokes on its own self-consciousness .

cassavetes thinks he 's making dog day afternoon with a cause , but all he 's done is to reduce everything he touches to a shrill , didactic cartoon .

negative
` dragonfly ' dwells on crossing-over mumbo jumbo , manipulative sentimentality , and sappy dialogue .
1
negative
the characters are interesting and the relationship between yosuke and saeko is worth watching as it develops , but there 's not enough to the story to fill two hours .

neutral
a genuinely moving and wisely unsentimental drama .

amy and matthew have a bit of a phony relationship , but the film works in spite of it .
3
positive
maybe it is formula filmmaking , but there 's nothing wrong with that if the film is well-crafted and this one is .
3
positive
nohe 's documentary about the event is sympathetic without being gullible : he is n't blind to the silliness , but also captures moments of spontaneous creativity and authentic co-operative interaction .
3
positive
rock 's stand-up magic wanes .
1
negative
a delightful , if minor , pastry of a movie .
4
very positive
a sexy , surprising romance ... idemoto and kim make a gorgeous pair ... their scenes brim with sexual possibility and emotional danger .

very positive
barely .
2
neutral
there are n't too many films that can be as simultaneously funny , offbeat and heartwarming -lrb- without a thick shmear of the goo , at least -rrb- , but `` elling '' manages to do all three quite well , making it one of the year 's most enjoyable releases .
4
very positive
plays like some corny television production from a bygone era
1
negative
as a girl-meets-girl romantic comedy , kissing jessica steinis quirky , charming and often hilarious .

very positive
it 's like a drive-by .
1
negative
most of the film feels conceived and shot on the fly -- like between lunch breaks for shearer 's radio show and his simpson voice-overs .
