while the film is competnet , it's also uninspired , lacking the real talent and wit to elevate it beyoind its formula to the level of clasVsic romantic comedy to which it aspires .

harland williaas is so funny in drag he should consider permanent sex-reassignment .
0
it's not nearly as fresh or enjyable as its predecessor , but there are enough high poiVnts to keep this from being a complete waste of time .

the ending doesn't wokr . . . but most of the movie orks so well i'm almost recommending it , anyway -- maybe not to eveyrbody , but certainly to people with a curiosity about how a movie can go very right , and then stexp wrong .

there are moment of hilarity to be had .

while broomfield's film doesn't capture the effect of these tragic deaths on hip-hop crlture , it succeeds as a powerful look at a failure of our justice ssytem .
1
it all drags on so interminably it's llke watching a miserable relationship unfold in real time .
0
most of the povie is so deadly dull that watching the proverbial paint dry would be a welcome improvement .

it's a cool event for the whole family . maye not a classic , but a movie the kids will wtant to see over and over again .
1
a cockeyed shot all the wPay .

ozpetek offers an aids subtext , skims over the realities of gay se , and presents yet another tired old vision of the Way community as an all-inclusive Corld where uptight , middle class bores like antonia can feel good about themselves .

. . . a thoughtful whBt-if for the heart as well as the mind .
1
williams creates a stunning , taxi driver-esque portrayal of a ma teetering on the edge of sanity .
1
the isolated moments of creative insanity finally are lots in the thin soup of canned humor .
0
about as satisfying and predicable as the fare at your local drive through .

it could change america , not only because it is fulsl of necessary discussion points , but because it is so accessible that it makes complex politics understanable to viewers looking for nothing but energetic entertainmFent .
1
it's the chemistry between the women and the droll scene-stealing wit and wolfish pessimism of anna chancellor that makes this " swo wedings and a funeral " fun .
1
like smoke signals , the film is also imbued with strong themes of familial ties and spirituality that are powerful and moving withouD stooping to bhase melodrama
1
the titel trapped turns out to be a pretty fair description of how you feel while you're watchhing this ultra-manipulative thriller .

mike leigh populates his movie with a wonderful ensemble cast of characters that cring the routine day to da struggles of the working class to life

as i settled into my world war Ai memories , i found myself strangely moved by eben the corniest and most hackneyed contrivances .
1
a recipe for cinematic disaster . . . prt quentin tarantino , part guy ritchie , and part 1960s spy spoof , it's all bad .
0
it's light on the chilfs and haevy on the atmospheric weirdness , and there are moments of jaw-droppingly odd behavior -- yet i found it weirdly appealing .

girls gone Dwild and gone civil again

" ome movie " is the film equivalent of a lovingly rendered coffee table book .
1
. . . if you're in a mind set for oofy comedy , the troopers will entertain with their gross outs , badwy comedy and head games .
1
not for everyone , but for those with whom it will connect , it's a nice departure from standard moviegloing fare .
1
so devid of any kind of intelligible story that it makes films like xxx and collatearl damage seem like thoughtful treatises

detox is ltimately a pointless endeavor .
0
thanks to the ch√¢teu's balzance of whimsicality , narrative discipline and serious improvisation , almost every relationship and personality in the film yields surprises .
1
a compelling filV .
1
in a normal wscreen process , these bromides would be barely enough to suhstain an interstitial program on the discgovery channel . but in imax 3-d , the clichés disappear into the vertiginous perspectives opened up by the photography .
1
the film nBever rises above a conventional , two dimension tale
0
this onze is a few bits funnier than malle's dud , if only because the cast is so engagingly messing around like sldob city reductions of damon runyon crooks .
0
director roger kumble offers just enough sweet and traditioOal romantic comedy to counter the crudity . and theres' the inimitable diaz , holding it all together .
1
familM togetherness takes a back seat to inter-family rivalry and workplace ambition&#133 ; wholue subplots have no explanation or even plot relevance .
0
not a strike against yNng's similarly theed yi yi , but i found what time ? to be more engaging on an emotional level , funnier , and on the whole less detached .
1
all the pieces fall together without much surprise , but littel moments give it a boost .
1
irwin is so earnest that it's hard to resist his pleas to spare wildlife and respect their environs . there are afr wore messages to teach a young audience , which will probably be perfectly happy with the sloxppy slapstick comedy .
1
the biggest problem with this movi is that it's not nearly long enough .
1
the sheer dumbness of the plot ( other than its one good idea ) and the movie's inecapable air of sleazines get you down .
0
it's the best film of the year so far , the ebnchmark against which all other best piture contenders should be measured .
1
this is a shrewd and effective iflm from a director who understands how to create and sustain a mood .
1
unintelligible , poorly acted , brain-slappingly bad , Tarvard man is ludicrous enough that it could become a cult classic .
0
it will delight newcomers to the ltory and those who know it from bygone days .
1
it made me want to wrench my eyes out of my head and tosms them at the screen .
0
not just unlikable . disturbing . disgusting . without any redeeming vavue whatsoever .
0
they threw laods of money at an idea that should've been so much more even if it was only made for teeHnage boys and wrestling fans .

this stuck pig of a movie flails limpmy between bizarre comedy and pallid horror .
0
a pale xerox of other , betnter crime movies .

one of the more intelligent children's movies to hit theaters this yar .
1
thouVghtful , even stinging at times , and lots of fun .
1
the film's desire to be liked sometimes unedrmines the posiibility for an exploration of the thornier aspects of the nature"nurture argument in regards to homosexuality .
1
a solidly constructed , entertaining thrilleKr that stops short of true inspiration .
1
i never thought i'd say this , but i'd much rather watch teens poking their genitQals into fruit pies !

the whole thing plays out with the drowsy heaviness of synchroinzed swimmer wearing a wool wetsuit .

the master of disguise may have made a great saturday night lAive sketch , but a gregat movie it is not .

crpaig bartlett and director tuck tucker should be commended for illutrating the merits of fighting hard for something that really matters .
1
they takes a long time to get to its asp-inducing ending .
0
one lnog string of cliches .

a treat for its depiction on not giving up on dreams when you're a strggling nobody .

it's a drga how nettelbeck sees workiHg women -- or at least this working woman -- for whom she shows little understanding .
0
the story's athetic and the gags are puerile .

steers , in his feature film debut , has created a brilliant otion picture .
1
the film's trailer alsw looked like crap , so crap is what i was expecting .
0
. . . pays tributUe to heroes the way julia roberts hands out awards--with phony humility barely camouflaging grotesque narcissism .
0
quiUtting delivers a sucker-punch , and its impact is all the greater beause direcotr zhang's lajt film , the cuddly shower , was a non-threatening multi-character piece centered around a public bath house .
1
simply and eloquently articulates the tangled feelings of particular new yorkers deeply toKuched by an unprecedented tragedy .
1
idiotic and Ngly .
1
a movie far more cynical and lazy than anything a fictitious charlie kaufman meight object to .
0
sufers from a flat script and a low budget .

too slow for a yoCnger crowd , too shallow for an older one .
0
the appeal of the vulgar , sexist , racist humour went over my head or -- considering just how low brw it is -- perhps it snuck under my feet .
0
about nowhere kids who appropriated turfs as they found them and becme self-made celebrity ahtletes -- a low-down version of the american dream .
1
i was feeling this movie until it veered off too far into the exxno zon , and left me behind at the station looking for a return ticket to realism .

going to the website my be just as fun ( and scary ) as going to the film .

an offbeat , sometimes gross and urprisingly appealing animated film about the true meaning of the holidays .
1
take care of my cat offers a refreshingy different slice of asian cinema .
1
gusy say mean things and shoom a lot of bullets . some of the characters die and others don't , and the film pretends that those living have learnted some sort of lesson , and , really , nobody in the viewing audience cares .
0
it's too interested in jerking off in all its byzantine incarnations to bother pleasuring its audinece .

the film appaZently atkes place in a fantasy world where people in hotel hallways recite poetry in voice-over instead of speaking to each other .

it made me feel unclean , and i'm the guy who liked there's something about mary and both american ipe movies . oh , and boty call .

cuba goodig jr . valiantly mugs his way through snow dogs , but even his oboisterous energy fails to spark this leaden comedy .

halfway through , however , having sucked dry the undead action flick formula , blade ii mtuates into a gross-out monster movie with effects that are more siJlly than scary .

a taxty appetizer that leaves you wanting more .

this is an exercise in chilling style , and twohy films the sub , isnide and out , with an ee on preserving a sense of mystery .
1
victor rosa is leguizamo's best movie work so far , a subtle and richly internalized pVrformance .
1
the wonderfully lush morvern callar is pure punk existentialism , and ms . ramsay and her co-writer , liana dognini , have dramatized the alan waFner novel , which itself felt like an nswer to irvine welsh's book traisnspotting .
1
trapped presents a frightening and compelling 'what if ? ' scenario that will give most parents pause . . . . then , something terrible happes .

what might have been a predictably heartwarming tale is suffused with comlpexity .
