the film has too many spots where it 's on slippery footing , but is acceptable entertainment for the entire family and one that 's especially fit for the kiddies .

when it 's not wallowing in hormonal melodrama , `` real women have curves '' is a sweet , honest , and enjoyable comedy-drama about a young woman who wants many things in life , but fears she 'll become her mother before she gets to fulfill her dreams .

the plot is plastered with one hollywood cliche after another , most of which involve precocious kids getting the better of obnoxious adults .

you might want to take a reality check before you pay the full ticket price to see `` simone , '' and consider a dvd rental instead .
1
negative
unfortunately , a cast of competent performers from movies , television and the theater are cast adrift in various new york city locations with no unifying rhythm or visual style .

... less a story than an inexplicable nightmare , right down to the population 's shrugging acceptance to each new horror .
1
negative
tony gayton 's script does n't give us anything we have n't seen before , but director d.j. caruso 's grimy visual veneer and kilmer 's absorbing performance increase the gravitational pull considerably .
2
neutral
this long and relentlessly saccharine film is a clear case of preaching to the converted .
0
very negative
the film is old-fashioned , occasionally charming and as subtle as boldface .
3
positive
it 's a 100-year old mystery that is constantly being interrupted by elizabeth hurley in a bathing suit .
2
neutral
an entertaining mix of period drama and flat-out farce that should please history fans .
3
positive
a very well-meaning movie , and it will stand in future years as an eloquent memorial to the world trade center tragedy .
3
positive
we get an image of big papa spanning history , rather than suspending it .

the cast delivers without sham the raw-nerved story .
3
positive
all in all , it 's a pretty good execution of a story that 's a lot richer than the ones hollywood action screenwriters usually come up with on their own .
3
positive
yet another self-consciously overwritten story about a rag-tag bunch of would-be characters that team up for a ca n't - miss heist -- only to have it all go wrong .
2
neutral
it 's got all the familiar bruckheimer elements , and schumacher does probably as good a job as anyone at bringing off the hopkins\/rock collision of acting styles and onscreen personas .

positive
i felt trapped and with no obvious escape for the entire 100 minutes .

trailer park magnolia : too long , too cutesy , too sure of its own importance , and possessed of that peculiar tension of being too dense & about nothing at all .

all of it works smoothly under the direction of spielberg , who does a convincing impersonation here of a director enjoying himself immensely .

has all the hallmarks of a movie designed strictly for children 's home video , a market so insatiable it absorbs all manner of lame entertainment , as long as 3-year-olds find it diverting .

after a while , the only way for a reasonably intelligent person to get through the country bears is to ponder how a whole segment of pop-music history has been allowed to get wet , fuzzy and sticky .

though a capable thriller , somewhere along the way k-19 jettisoned some crucial drama .
1

it 's ... worth the extra effort to see an artist , still committed to growth in his ninth decade , change while remaining true to his principles with a film whose very subject is , quite pointedly , about the peril of such efforts .

in auteil 's less dramatic but equally incisive performance , he 's a charismatic charmer likely to seduce and conquer .
