serviceable at best , slightly less than serviceable at worst .
2
neutral
both heartbreaking and heartwarming ... just a simple fable done in an artless sytle , but it 's tremendously moving .
4
very positive
the series ' message about making the right choice in the face of tempting alternatives remains prominent , as do the girls ' amusing personalities .
3
positive
the santa clause 2 's plot may sound like it was co-written by mattel executives and lobbyists for the tinsel industry .
1
negative
it 's surprisingly decent , particularly for a tenth installment in a series .
3
positive
the party scenes deliver some tawdry kicks .
2
neutral
true to its animatronic roots : ... as stiff , ponderous and charmless as a mechanical apparatus ... ` the country bears ' should never have been brought out of hibernation .

unlike trey parker , sandler does n't understand that the idea of exploiting molestation for laughs is funny , not actually exploiting it yourself .
1
negative
byler is too savvy a filmmaker to let this morph into a typical romantic triangle .
3
positive
smug , artificial , ill-constructed and fatally overlong ... it never finds a consistent tone and lacks bite , degenerating into a pious , preachy soap opera .
2
neutral
green ruins every single scene he 's in , and the film , while it 's not completely wreaked , is seriously compromised by that .
1
negative
a minor film with major pleasures from portuguese master manoel de oliviera ...

not everything in the film works , including its somewhat convenient ending .

stealing harvard ca n't even do that much .

leguizamo and jones are both excellent and the rest of the cast is uniformly superb .

if the predictability of bland comfort food appeals to you , then the film is a pleasant enough dish .
1
negative
the story suffers a severe case of oversimplification , superficiality and silliness .
0
very negative
a technical triumph and an extraordinary bore .
1
negative
the characters ... are paper-thin , and their personalities undergo radical changes when it suits the script .
0
very negative
neither quite a comedy nor a romance , more of an impish divertissement of themes that interest attal and gainsbourg -- they live together -- the film has a lot of charm .
3
positive
likely to have decades of life as a classic movie franchise ?
3
positive
what they see in each other also is difficult to fathom .
1

this is a fascinating film because there is no clear-cut hero and no all-out villain .

another trumpet blast that there may be a new mexican cinema a-bornin ' . '
3
positive
it 's clear that mehta simply wanted to update her beloved genre for the thousands of indians who fancy themselves too sophisticated for the cheese-laced spectacles that pack 'em in on the subcontinent .
2
neutral
what might have been readily dismissed as the tiresome rant of an aging filmmaker still thumbing his nose at convention takes a surprising , subtle turn at the midway point .
1
negative
expands the limits of what a film can be , taking us into the lives of women to whom we might not give a second look if we passed them on the street .
3
positive
does not go far enough in its humor or stock ideas to stand out as particularly memorable or even all that funny .
1
negative
it 's obvious -lrb- je-gyu is -rrb- trying for poetry ; what he gets instead has all the lyricism of a limerick scrawled in a public restroom .
2
neutral
despite the film 's shortcomings , the stories are quietly moving .
3
positive
from blushing to gushing -- imamura squirts the screen in ` warm water under a red bridge '

the best thing i can say about this film is that i ca n't wait to see what the director does next .

very positive
... wallace is smart to vary the pitch of his movie , balancing deafening battle scenes with quieter domestic scenes of women back home receiving war department telegrams .
3
positive
the screenplay comes across , rather unintentionally , as hip-hop scooby-doo .
2
neutral
a true-blue delight .
4
very positive
about as enjoyable , i would imagine , as searching for a quarter in a giant pile of elephant feces ... positively dreadful .

it leaves little doubt that kidman has become one of our best actors .
4
very positive
what ensues are much blood-splattering , mass drug-induced bowel evacuations , and none-too-funny commentary on the cultural distinctions between americans and brits .

and they succeed merrily at their noble endeavor .
3
positive
very much a home video , and so devoid of artifice and purpose that it appears not to have been edited at all .

director david jacobson gives dahmer a consideration that the murderer never game his victims .

the hours , a delicately crafted film , is an impressive achievement in spite of a river of sadness that pours into every frame .
3
positive
it 's all a rather shapeless good time ...
2
neutral
a direct-to-void release , heading nowhere .
2
neutral
are we dealing with dreams , visions or being told what actually happened as if it were the third ending of clue ?
1
negative
soderbergh seems capable only of delivering artfully lighted , earnest inquiries that lack the kind of genuine depth that would make them redeemable .
2
neutral
this movie is so bad , that it 's almost worth seeing because it 's so bad .
1
negative
no better or worse than ` truth or consequences , n.m. ' or any other interchangeable actioner with imbecilic mafia toolbags botching a routine assignment in a western backwater .
1
negative
well , this movie proves you wrong on both counts .
1
negative
much of it is funny , but there are also some startling , surrealistic moments ...
3
positive
those who are only mildly curious , i fear , will be put to sleep or bewildered by the artsy and often pointless visuals .
1
negative
its engaging simplicity is driven by appealing leads .
4
very positive
theological matters aside , the movie is so clumsily sentimental and ineptly directed it may leave you speaking in tongues .
1
negative
this 90-minute postmodern voyage was more diverting and thought-provoking than i 'd expected it to be .

positive
ignoring that , he made swimfan anyway
1
negative
but , no , we get another scene , and then another .
2
neutral
we never truly come to care about the main characters and whether or not they 'll wind up together , and michele 's spiritual quest is neither amusing nor dramatic enough to sustain interest .
0
very negative
as a hybrid teen thriller and murder mystery , murder by numbers fits the profile too closely .
2
neutral
like schindler 's list , the grey zone attempts to be grandiloquent , but ends up merely pretentious -- in a grisly sort of way .
1

an obvious copy of one of the best films ever made , how could it not be ?
1
negative
it gets bogged down by hit-and-miss topical humour before getting to the truly good stuff .
2
neutral
the plan to make enough into ` an inspiring tale of survival wrapped in the heart-pounding suspense of a stylish psychological thriller ' has flopped as surely as a soufflé gone wrong .

dog soldiers does n't transcend genre -- it embraces it , energizes it and takes big bloody chomps out of it .

third time 's the charm ... yeah , baby !

very positive
weighty and ponderous but every bit as filling as the treat of the title .

makes the case for a strong education and good teachers being more valuable in the way they help increase an average student 's self-esteem , and not strictly in the knowledge imparted .

what 's not to like about a movie with a ` children 's ' song that includes the line ` my stepdad 's not mean , he 's just adjusting ' ?

3
positive
in a summer overrun with movies dominated by cgi aliens and super heroes , it revigorates the mind to see a feature that concentrates on people , a project in which the script and characters hold sway .
4
very positive
schneider 's mugging is relentless and his constant need to suddenly transpose himself into another character undermines the story 's continuity and progression .
2
neutral
for most movies , 84 minutes is short , but this one feels like a life sentence .

explosions , jokes , and sexual innuendoes abound .
2

2
neutral
it 's rare for any movie to be as subtle and touching as the son 's room .
3
positive
not as well-written as sexy beast , not as gloriously flippant as lock , stock and two smoking barrels , but stylish and moody and exceptionally well-acted .
3
positive
spielberg 's realization of a near-future america is masterful .
4
very positive
amidst the action , the script carries arnold -lrb- and the viewers -rrb- into the forbidden zone of sympathizing with terrorist motivations by presenting the `` other side of the story . ''
3
positive
as gory as the scenes of torture and self-mutilation may be , they are pitted against shimmering cinematography that lends the setting the ethereal beauty of an asian landscape painting .
