its well of thorn and vinegar ( and simple humanity ) has long been plundered by similar works featuring the insight and punch this picture so conspicuously lacks .

adam sandler 's 8 crazy nights is 75 wasted minutes of sandler as the voice-over hero in columbia pictures ' perverse idea of an animated holiday movie .
0
there is a welcome lack of pretension about the film , which very simply sets out to entertain and ends up delivering in good measure .
1
the lousy john q all but spits out denzel washington 's fine performance in the title role .
0
. . . spiced with humor ( 'i speak fluent flatula , ' advises denlopp after a rather , er , bubbly exchange with an alien deckhand ) and witty updatings ( silver 's parrot has been replaced with morph , a cute alien creature who mimics everyone and everything around )
1
viewed on its own terms , treasure planet is better-than-average family entertainment , but true fans of the stevenson 's novel will likely prefer disney 's more faithful 1950 live-action swashbuckling classic .
1
scherfig , the writer-director , has made a film so unabashedly hopeful that it actually makes the heart soar . yes , soar .

0
a bit of an unwieldy mess .

has enough gun battles and throwaway humor to cover up the yawning chasm where the plot should be .

often demented in a good way , but it is an uneven film for the most part .
1
a thoroughly entertaining comedy that uses grant 's own twist of acidity to prevent itself from succumbing to its own bathos .

sunk by way too much indulgence of scene-chewing , teeth-gnashing actorliness .
0
zhuangzhuang creates delicate balance of style , text , and subtext that 's so simple and precise that anything discordant would topple the balance , but against all odds , nothing does .
1
[ less a movie than ] an appalling , odoriferous thing . . . so rotten in almost every single facet of production that you 'll want to crawl up your own * * * in embarrassment .

a funny film .
1
eight legged freaks is clever and funny , is amused by its special effects , and leaves you feeling like you 've seen a movie instead of an endless trailer .

shadyac shoots his film like an m . night shyamalan movie , and he frequently maintains the same snail 's pace ; he just forgot to add any genuine tension .
0

0
what starts off as a satisfying kids flck becomes increasingly implausible as it races through contrived plot points .
0
while van wilder may not be the worst national lampoon film , it 's far from being this generation 's animal house .
0
the characters are interesting and the relationship between yosuke and saeko is worth watching as it develops , but there 's not enough to the story to fill two hours .
0
for this sort of thing to work , we need agile performers , but the proficient , dull sorvino has no light touch , and rodan is out of his league .
0
[ director peter ] jackson and his crew have so steeped themselves in the majesty of tolkien 's writing that every frame produces new joys , whether you 're a fan of the books or not .
1
return to never land is much more p . c . than the original version ( no more racist portraits of indians , for instance ) , but the excitement is missing .
0
the leads we are given here are simply too bland to be interesting .

god help the poor woman if attal is this insecure in real life : his fictional yvan 's neuroses are aggravating enough to exhaust the patience of even the most understanding spouse .

0
bielinsky is a filmmaker of impressive talent .
1

robinson 's web of suspense matches the page-turning frenzy that clancy creates .

denis and co-writer michele petin 's impeccable screenplay penetrates with a rawness that that is both unflinching and tantalizing . lead provocatuers testud and parmentier give superlative performances
