but it also has many of the things that made the first one charming .

weaver and lapaglia are both excellent , in the kind of low-key way that allows us to forget that they are actually movie folk .
4
very positive
it 's never laugh-out-loud funny , but it is frequently amusing .
3
positive
a movie in which laughter and self-exploitation merge into jolly soft-porn 'em powerment . '
3
positive
quite simply , a joy to watch and -- especially -- to listen to .
4
very positive
not to mention absolutely refreshed .

4
very positive
comes off more like a misdemeanor , a flat , unconvincing drama that never catches fire .
1
negative
this sci-fi techno-sex thriller starts out bizarre and just keeps getting weirder .
2
neutral
close enough in spirit to its freewheeling trash-cinema roots to be a breath of fresh air .

positive
a dreary indulgence .

teens only .

while the transgressive trappings -lrb- especially the frank sex scenes -rrb- ensure that the film is never dull , rodrigues 's beast-within metaphor is ultimately rather silly and overwrought , making the ambiguous ending seem goofy rather than provocative .
1
negative
blue crush has all the trappings of an energetic , extreme-sports adventure , but ends up more of a creaky `` pretty woman '' retread , with the emphasis on self-empowering schmaltz and big-wave surfing that gives pic its title an afterthought .
1
negative
the movie does has some entertainment value - how much depends on how well you like chris rock .
2
neutral
a man leaving the screening said the film was better than saving private ryan .
4
very positive
the niftiest trick perpetrated by the importance of being earnest is the alchemical transmogrification of wilde into austen -- and a hollywood-ized austen at that .
2
neutral
-lrb- a -rrb- strong piece of work .
3
positive
daring and beautifully made .
4
very positive
there has to be a few advantages to never growing old .
2
neutral
a well-crafted film that is all the more remarkable because it achieves its emotional power and moments of revelation with restraint and a delicate ambiguity .
3
positive
with three excellent principal singers , a youthful and good-looking diva and tenor and richly handsome locations , it 's enough to make you wish jacquot had left well enough alone and just filmed the opera without all these distortions of perspective .
2
neutral
... hits every cliche we 've come to expect , including the assumption that `` crazy '' people are innocent , childlike and inherently funny .

slight but enjoyable documentary .

adam sandler 's eight crazy nights grows on you -- like a rash .
0
very negative
when compared to the usual , more somber festival entries , davis ' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart , smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic .
4
very positive
nicks and steinberg match their own creations for pure venality -- that 's giving it the old college try .
1
negative
not even solondz 's thirst for controversy , sketchy characters and immature provocations can fully succeed at cheapening it .

and in a sense , that 's a liability .
1
negative
the romance between the leads is n't as compelling or as believable as it should be .

never having seen the first two films in the series , i ca n't compare friday after next to them , but nothing would change the fact that what we have here is a load of clams left in the broiling sun for a good three days .

very negative
the film is a blunt indictment , part of a perhaps surreal campaign to bring kissinger to trial for crimes against humanity .
2
neutral
a straight-ahead thriller that never rises above superficiality .
1
negative
the film 's constant mood of melancholy and its unhurried narrative are masterfully controlled .

very positive
there are scenes of cinematic perfection that steal your heart away .
4
very positive
a low-key labor of love that strikes a very resonant chord .
3
positive
one of those movies that catches you up in something bigger than yourself , namely , an archetypal desire to enjoy good trash every now and then .
4
very positive
an old-fashioned scary movie , one that relies on lingering terror punctuated by sudden shocks and not constant bloodshed punctuated by flying guts .
3
positive
there 's an energy to y tu mamá también .
3
positive
the problem with the film is whether these ambitions , laudable in themselves , justify a theatrical simulation of the death camp of auschwitz ii-birkenau .
1
negative
the whole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as though it 's trying to set the women 's liberation movement back 20 years . '

positive
in the not-too-distant future , movies like ghost ship will be used as analgesic balm for overstimulated minds .

some movies can get by without being funny simply by structuring the scenes as if they were jokes : a setup , delivery and payoff .

parts of the film feel a bit too much like an infomercial for ram dass 's latest book aimed at the boomer demographic .

almost peerlessly unsettling .
1
negative
despite auteuil 's performance , it 's a rather listless amble down the middle of the road , where the thematic ironies are too obvious and the sexual politics too smug .
1

flamboyant in some movies and artfully restrained in others , 65-year-old jack nicholson could be looking at his 12th oscar nomination by proving that he 's now , more than ever , choosing his roles with the precision of the insurance actuary .

positive
daughter from danang reveals that efforts toward closure only open new wounds .

negative
if not a home run , then at least a solid base hit .
3
positive
it 's a fine , old-fashioned-movie movie , which is to say it 's unburdened by pretensions to great artistic significance .
3
positive
what it lacks in substance it makes up for in heart .
3
positive
carrying off a spot-on scottish burr , duvall -lrb- also a producer -rrb- peels layers from this character that may well not have existed on paper .
3
positive
there are enough throwaway references to faith and rainbows to plant smile-button faces on that segment of the populace that made a walk to remember a niche hit .
3
positive
a well-acted , but one-note film .
2
neutral
suffice to say its total promise is left slightly unfulfilled .
1
negative
the picture 's fascinating byways are littered with trenchant satirical jabs at the peculiar egocentricities of the acting breed .

walter hill 's undisputed is like a 1940s warner bros. .
3
positive
parents beware ; this is downright movie penance .
1

whatever satire lucky break was aiming for , it certainly got lost in the `` soon-to-be-forgettable '' section of the quirky rip-off prison romp pile .

it did n't go straight to video .
2
neutral
fred schepisi 's tale of four englishmen facing the prospect of their own mortality views youthful affluence not as a lost ideal but a starting point .

kosminsky ... puts enough salt into the wounds of the tortured and self-conscious material to make it sting .

positive
a well made indieflick in need of some trims and a more chemistry between its stars .
3
positive
seems based on ugly ideas instead of ugly behavior , as happiness was ... hence , storytelling is far more appealing .
4
very positive
it 's the unsettling images of a war-ravaged land that prove more potent and riveting than the unlikely story of sarah and harrison .
2
neutral
alternates between deadpan comedy and heartbreaking loneliness and is n't afraid to provoke introspection in both its characters and its audience .
3
positive
true to its title , it traps audiences in a series of relentlessly nasty situations that we would pay a considerable ransom not to be looking at .
1
negative
at its best when the guarded , resentful betty and the manipulative yet needy margot are front and center .
