there's undeniable enjoyment to be had from films crammed with movie references , but the fun wears thin -- then out -- when there's nothing else happening .
0
imagine kevin smith , the blasphemous bad boy of suburban jersey , if he were stripped of most of his budget and all of his sense of humor . the result might look like vulgar .
0
suffers from a lack of clarity and audacity that a subject as monstrous and pathetic as dahmer demands .
0
what soured me on the santa clause 2 was that santa bumps up against 21st century reality so hard , it's icky .
0
it's an 88-minute highlight reel that's 86 minutes too long .
0
the film favors the scientific over the spectacular ( visually speaking ) .
0
such an incomprehensible mess that it feels less like bad cinema than like being stuck in a dark pit having a nightmare about bad cinema .
0
with the exception of mccoist , the players don't have a clue on the park . the acting isn't much better .
0
the whole affair is as predictable as can be .
0
a not-so-divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood with a hefty helping of re-fried green tomatoes .
0
this cloying , voices-from-the-other-side story is hell .
0
a suffocating rape-payback horror show that hinges on the subgenre's most enabling victim . . . and an ebullient affection for industrial-model meat freezers .
0
star trek was kind of terrific once , but now it is a copy of a copy of a copy .
0
[n]o matter how much good will the actors generate , showtime eventually folds under its own thinness .
0
every potential twist is telegraphed well in advance , every performance respectably muted ; the movie itself seems to have been made under the influence of rohypnol .
0
puts on airs of a hal hartley wannabe film -- without the vital comic ingredient of the hilarious writer-director himself .
0
ver wiel's desperate attempt at wit is lost , leaving the character of critical jim two-dimensional and pointless .
0
despite a performance of sustained intelligence from stanford and another of subtle humour from bebe neuwirth , as an older woman who seduces oscar , the film founders on its lack of empathy for the social milieu - rich new york intelligentsia - and its off
0
although disney follows its standard formula in this animated adventure , it feels more forced than usual .
0
gaghan . . . has thrown every suspenseful cliché in the book at this nonsensical story .
0
a sham construct based on theory , sleight-of-hand , and ill-wrought hypothesis .
0
[p]artnering murphy with robert de niro for the tv-cops comedy showtime would seem to be surefire casting . the catch is that they're stuck with a script that prevents them from firing on all cylinders .
0
'you'll laugh for not quite and hour and a half , but come out feeling strangely unsatisfied . you'll feel like you ate a reeses without the peanut butter . . . '
0
gooding offers a desperately ingratiating performance .
0
parker should be commended for taking a fresh approach to familiar material , but his determination to remain true to the original text leads him to adopt a somewhat mannered tone . . . that ultimately dulls the human tragedy at the story's core .
0
the director has injected self-consciousness into the proceedings at every turn . the results are far more alienating than involving .
0
bogdanich is unashamedly pro-serbian and makes little attempt to give voice to the other side .
0
a lack of thesis makes maryam , in the end , play out with the intellectual and emotional impact of an after-school special .
0
the worst film of the year .
0
by-the-numbers yarn .
0
without shakespeare's eloquent language , the update is dreary and sluggish .
0
if h . g . wells had a time machine and could take a look at his kin's reworked version , what would he say ? 'it looks good , sonny , but you missed the point . '
0
during the tuxedo's 90 minutes of screen time , there isn't one true 'chan moment' .
0
bisset delivers a game performance , but she is unable to save the movie .
0
watching austin powers in goldmember is like binging on cotton candy . it's sweet and fluffy at the time , but it may leave you feeling a little sticky and unsatisfied .
0
the most anti-human big studio picture since 3000 miles to graceland .
0
the film can depress you about life itself .
0
i'm sure the filmmakers found this a remarkable and novel concept , but anybody who has ever seen an independent film can report that it is instead a cheap cliché .
0
the acting is fine but the script is about as interesting as a recording of conversations at the wal-mart checkout line .
0
its weighty themes are too grave for youngsters , but the story is too steeped in fairy tales and other childish things to appeal much to teenagers .
0
the plot plummets into a comedy graveyard before janice comes racing to the rescue in the final reel .
0
sometimes there are very , very good reasons for certain movies to be sealed in a jar and left on a remote shelf indefinitely .
0
at 90 minutes this movie is short , but it feels much longer .
0
here's my advice , kev . start reading your scripts before signing that dotted line .
0
an alternately raucous and sappy ethnic sitcom . . . you'd be wise to send your regrets .
0
an ugly-duckling tale so hideously and clumsily told it feels accidental .
0
unfortunately , it's also not very good . especially compared with the television series that inspired the movie .
0
it wraps up a classic mother/daughter struggle in recycled paper with a shiny new bow and while the audience can tell it's not all new , at least it looks pretty .
0
glazed with a tawdry b-movie scum .
0
this is the kind of movie during which you want to bang your head on the seat in front of you , at its cluelessness , at its idiocy , at its utterly misplaced earnestness .
0
it winds up moving in many directions as it searches ( vainly , i think ) for something fresh to say .
0
all in all , road to perdition is more in love with strangeness than excellence .
0
a big fat pain .
0
a mimetic approximation of better films like contempt and 8 1/2 .
0
unintelligible , poorly acted , brain-slappingly bad , harvard man is ludicrous enough that it could become a cult classic .
0
watching the powerpuff girls movie , my mind kept returning to one anecdote for comparison : the cartoon in japan that gave people seizures .
0
aan opportunity wasted .
0
an inelegant combination of two unrelated shorts that falls far short of the director's previous work in terms of both thematic content and narrative strength .
0
to build a feel-good fantasy around a vain dictator-madman is off-putting , to say the least , not to mention inappropriate and wildly undeserved .
0
with the cheesiest monsters this side of a horror spoof , which they isn't , it is more likely to induce sleep than fright .
0
mild , meandering teen flick .
0
though its atmosphere is intriguing . . . the drama is finally too predictable to leave much of an impression .
0
though this rude and crude film does deliver a few gut-busting laughs , its digs at modern society are all things we've seen before .
0
although it tries to be much more , it's really just another major league .
0
astonishing isn't the word -- neither is incompetent , incoherent or just plain crap . indeed , none of these words really gets at the very special type of badness that is deuces wild .
0
one thing is for sure : this movie does not tell you a whole lot about lily chou-chou .
0
with a tone as variable as the cinematography , schaeffer's film never settles into the light-footed enchantment the material needs , and the characters' quirks and foibles never jell into charm .
0
to better understand why this didn't connect with me would require another viewing , and i won't be sitting through this one again . . . that in itself is commentary enough .
0
cuba gooding jr . valiantly mugs his way through snow dogs , but even his boisterous energy fails to spark this leaden comedy .
0
diane lane's sophisticated performance can't rescue adrian lyne's unfaithful from its sleazy moralizing .
0
not at all clear what it's trying to say and even if it were – i doubt it would be all that interesting .
0
storytelling feels slight .
0
[swimfan] falls victim to sloppy plotting , an insultingly unbelievable final act and a villainess who is too crazy to be interesting .
0
this remake of lina wertmuller's 1975 eroti-comedy might just be the biggest husband-and-wife disaster since john and bo derek made the ridiculous bolero .
0
silly , loud and goofy .
0
why spend $9 on the same stuff you can get for a buck or so in that greasy little vidgame pit in the theater lobby ?
0
the french director has turned out nearly 21/2 hours of unfocused , excruciatingly tedious cinema that , half an hour in , starts making water torture seem appealing .
0
the basic premise is intriguing but quickly becomes distasteful and downright creepy .
0
the pool drowned me in boredom .
0
it's like an all-star salute to disney's cheesy commercialism .
0
it's hard to imagine any recent film , independent or otherwise , that makes as much of a mess as this one .
0
some of the computer animation is handsome , and various amusing sidekicks add much-needed levity to the otherwise bleak tale , but overall the film never rises above mediocrity .
0
there's an excellent 90-minute film here ; unfortunately , it runs for 170 .
0
as saccharine movies go , this is likely to cause massive cardiac arrest if taken in large doses .
0
die another day is only intermittently entertaining but it's hard not to be a sucker for its charms , or perhaps it's just impossible not to feel nostalgia for movies you grew up with .
0
as is often the case with ambitious , eager first-time filmmakers , mr . murray , a prolific director of music videos , stuffs his debut with more plot than it can comfortably hold .
0
the mystery of enigma is how a rich historical subject , combined with so much first-rate talent . . . could have yielded such a flat , plodding picture .
0
it throws quirky characters , odd situations , and off-kilter dialogue at us , all as if to say , " look at this ! this is an interesting movie ! " but the film itself is ultimately quite unengaging .
0
the inherent limitations of using a video game as the source material movie are once again made all too clear in this schlocky horror/action hybrid .
0
bad company . bad movie . just plain bad .
0
it's not only dull because we've seen [eddie] murphy do the genial-rogue shtick to death , but because the plot is equally hackneyed .
0
avary's film never quite emerges from the shadow of ellis' book .
0
a poorly scripted , preachy fable that forgets about unfolding a coherent , believable story in its zeal to spread propaganda .
0
while it is interesting to witness the conflict from the palestinian side , longley's film lacks balance . . . and fails to put the struggle into meaningful historical context .
0
woo has as much right to make a huge action sequence as any director , but how long will filmmakers copy the " saving private ryan " battle scenes before realizing steven spielberg got it right the first time ?
0
it's sincere to a fault , but , unfortunately , not very compelling or much fun .
0
. . . jones , despite a definitely distinctive screen presence , just isn't able to muster for a movie that , its title notwithstanding , should have been a lot nastier if it wanted to fully capitalize on its lead's specific gifts .
0
this follow-up seems so similar to the 1953 disney classic that it makes one long for a geriatric peter .
0
why , you may ask , why should you buy the movie milk when the tv cow is free ? there's no good answer to that one .
0
this slow-moving swedish film offers not even a hint of joy , preferring to focus on the humiliation of martin as he defecates in bed and urinates on the plants at his own birthday party .
