Whether Jason X is this bad on purpose is never clear .
1
But one thing 's for sure : It never comes close to being either funny or scary .
1
I like all four of the lead actors a lot and they manage to squeeze a few laughs out of the material , but they 're treading water at best in this forgettable effort .
0
is that it 's a crime movie made by someone who obviously knows nothing about crime .
1
This insufferable movie is meant to make you think about existential suffering .
1
Instead , it 'll only put you to sleep .
1
It 's also not smart or barbed enough for older viewers -- not everyone thinks poo-poo jokes are ` edgy . '
1
A sleep-inducingly slow-paced crime drama with clumsy dialogue , heavy-handed phoney-feeling sentiment , and an overly-familiar set of plot devices .
1
It 's so tedious that it makes you forgive every fake , dishonest , entertaining and , ultimately , more perceptive moment in Bridget Jones 's Diary .
1
Almost as offensive as `` Freddy Got Fingered . ''
1
The gifted Crudup has the perfect face to play a handsome blank yearning to find himself , and his cipherlike personality and bad behavior would play fine if the movie knew what to do with him .
1
It is depressing , ruthlessly pained and depraved , the movie equivalent of staring into an open wound .
1
Ponderous , plodding soap opera disguised as a feature film .
1
Cold , pretentious , thoroughly dislikable study in sociopathy .
1
For the future , one hopes Mr. Plympton will find room for one more member of his little band , a professional screenwriter .
1
A cheap scam put together by some cynical creeps at Revolution Studios and Imagine Entertainment to make the suckers out there surrender $ 9 and 93 minutes of unrecoverable life .
1
Reign of Fire never comes close to recovering from its demented premise , but it does sustain an enjoyable level of ridiculousness .
1
Human Nature is a goofball movie , in the way that Malkovich was , but it tries too hard .
0
Originality is sorely lacking .
1
But while the highly predictable narrative falls short , Treasure Planet is truly gorgeous to behold .
0
Though there are entertaining and audacious moments , the movie 's wildly careening tone and an extremely flat lead performance do little to salvage this filmmaker 's flailing reputation .
1
For a story set at sea , Ghost Ship is pretty landbound , with its leaden acting , dull exposition and telegraphed ` surprises . '
1
There might be some sort of credible gender-provoking philosophy submerged here , but who the hell cares ?
1
Nothing more than a stifling morality tale dressed up in peekaboo clothing .
1
I like my Christmas movies with more elves and snow and less pimps and ho 's .
1
It all seemed wasted like DeNiro 's once promising career and the once grand Long Beach boardwalk .
1
-LRB- I -RRB- t 's certainly laudable that the movie deals with hot-button issues in a comedic context , but Barbershop is n't as funny as it should be .
1
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 .
1
Equilibrium the movie , as opposed to the manifesto , is really , really stupid .
1
Excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic .
1
The film 's thoroughly recycled plot and tiresome jokes ... drag the movie down .
1
It does n't offer audiences any way of gripping what its point is , or even its attitude toward its subject .
1
This kiddie-oriented stinker is so bad that I even caught the gum stuck under my seat trying to sneak out of the theater
1
Though Impostor deviously adopts the guise of a modern motion picture , it too is a bomb .
1
Cox offers plenty of glimpses at existing photos , but there are no movies of Nijinsky , so instead the director treats us to an aimless hodgepodge .
1
Every note rings false .
1
When the screenwriter responsible for one of the worst movies of one year directs an equally miserable film the following year , you 'd have a hard time believing it was just coincidence .
1
It never rises to its clever what-if concept .
1
This story of unrequited love does n't sustain interest beyond the first half-hour .
1
This angst-ridden territory was covered earlier and much better in Ordinary People .
1
The entire film is one big excuse to play one lewd scene after another .
1
About half of them are funny , a few are sexy and none are useful in telling the story , which is paper-thin and decidedly unoriginal .
1
A big , loud , bang-the-drum bore .
1
-LRB- Less a movie than -RRB- an appalling , odoriferous thing ... so rotten in almost every single facet of production that you 'll want to crawl up your own \*\*\* in embarrassment .
1
The concept behind Kung Pow : Enter the Fist is hilarious .
0
El Crimen Del Padre Amaro would likely be most effective if used as a tool to rally anti-Catholic protestors .
1
Interesting and thoroughly unfaithful version of Carmen
0
A serious movie with serious ideas .
0
But seriously , folks , it does n't work .
1
There 's nothing exactly wrong here , but there 's not nearly enough that 's right .
1
The action here is unusually tame , the characters are too simplistic to maintain interest , and the plot offers few surprises .
1
I could n't help but feel the wasted potential of this slapstick comedy .
1
What Madonna does here ca n't properly be called acting -- more accurately , it 's moving and it 's talking and it 's occasionally gesturing , sometimes all at once .
1
-LRB- A -RRB- painfully flat gross-out comedy ...
1
Even if you 're an Elvis person , you wo n't find anything to get excited about on this DVD .
1
It 's bedeviled by labored writing and slack direction .
1
I 'm sure there 's a teenage boy out there somewhere who 's dying for this kind of entertainment .
1
The Tuxedo miscalculates badly by forcing the star to play second fiddle to the dull effects that allow the suit to come to life .
1
The film is a confusing melange of tones and styles , one moment a romantic trifle and the next a turgid drama .
1
Obviously , a lot of people wasted a lot of their time -LRB- including mine -RRB- on something very inconsequential .
1
There 's a little violence and lots of sex in a bid to hold our attention , but it grows monotonous after a while , as do Joan and Philip 's repetitive arguments , schemes and treachery .
1
It drowns in sap .
1
Deliberately and devotedly constructed , Far from Heaven is too picture postcard perfect , too neat and new pin-like , too obviously a recreation to resonate .
0
It 's rare that a movie can be as intelligent as this one is in every regard except its storyline ; everything that 's good is ultimately scuttled by a plot that 's just too boring and obvious .
1
I 'm giving it thumbs down due to the endlessly repetitive scenes of embarrassment .
1
There 's got to be a more graceful way of portraying the devastation of this disease .
1
The modern-day characters are nowhere near as vivid as the 19th-century ones .
1
Blessed with a searing lead performance by Ryan Gosling -LRB- Murder by Numbers -RRB- , the movie is powerful and provocative .
0
It 's also built on a faulty premise , one it follows into melodrama and silliness .
1
Uneven performances and a spotty script add up to a biting satire that has no teeth .
1
Director Jay Russell stomps in hobnail boots over Natalie Babbitt 's gentle , endearing 1975 children 's novel .
1
The troubling thing about Clockstoppers is that it does n't make any sense .
1
With its paint fights , motorized scooter chases and dewy-eyed sentiment , it 's a pretty listless collection of kid-movie clichés .
1
Kicks off with an inauspicious premise , mopes through a dreary tract of virtually plotless meanderings and then ends with a whimper .
1
A rote exercise in both animation and storytelling .
1
The material and the production itself are little more than routine .
1
The movie 's major and most devastating flaw is its reliance on formula , though , and it 's quite enough to lessen the overall impact the movie could have had .
1
Not even Steven Spielberg has dreamed up such blatant and sickening product placement in a movie .
1
It 's all surface psychodramatics .
1
The Mothman Prophecies , which is mostly a bore , seems to exist only for its climactic setpiece .
1
That frenetic spectacle -LRB- on the TV show -RRB- has usually been leavened by a charm that 's conspicuously missing from the Girls ' big-screen blowout .
1
Kitschy , flashy , overlong soap opera .
1
For all the time we spend with these people , we never really get inside of them .
1
Yet another Arnold vehicle that fails to make adequate use of his particular talents .
1
Sandra Bullock , despite downplaying her good looks , carries a little too much ai n't - she-cute baggage into her lead role as a troubled and determined homicide cop to quite pull off the heavy stuff .
1
An undistinguished attempt to make a classic theater piece cinematic .
1
too many scenarios in which the hero might have an opportunity to triumphantly sermonize , and too few that allow us to wonder for ourselves if things will turn out okay .
1
There is simply not enough of interest onscreen to sustain its seventy-minute running time .
1
Broomfield 's style of journalism is hardly journalism at all , and even those with an avid interest in the subject will grow impatient .
1
-LRB- Seagal 's -RRB- strenuous attempt at a change in expression could very well clinch him this year 's Razzie .
1
Has the disjointed feel of a bunch of strung-together TV episodes .
1
A series of escapades demonstrating the adage that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander , some of which occasionally amuses but none of which amounts to much of a story .
1
Ozpetek offers an AIDS subtext , skims over the realities of gay sex , and presents yet another tired old vision of the gay community as an all-inclusive world where uptight , middle class bores like Antonia can feel good about themselves .
1
The Sweetest Thing is expressly for idiots who do n't care what kind of sewage they shovel into their mental gullets to simulate sustenance .
1
Sinks so low in a poorly played game of absurd plot twists , idiotic court maneuvers and stupid characters that even Freeman ca n't save it .
1
It made me realize that we really have n't had a good cheesy B-movie playing in theaters since ... well ... since last week 's Reign of Fire .
1
Some movies were made for the big screen , some for the small screen , and some , like Ballistic : Ecks vs. Sever , were made for the palm screen .
1
SC2 is an autopilot Hollywood concoction lacking in imagination and authentic Christmas spirit , yet it 's geared toward an audience full of masters of both .
1
Seems content to dog-paddle in the mediocre end of the pool , and it 's a sad , sick sight .
1
It 's refreshing that someone understands the need for the bad boy ; Diesel , with his brawny frame and cool , composed delivery , fits the bill perfectly .
