i didn't laugh at the ongoing efforts of cube , and his skinny buddy mike epps , to make like laurel and hardy 'n the hood .
0neg
the only way this supernatural snore-fest could give anyone a case of the frights is if they were put to sleep by the movie and had a nightmare .
0neg
i wonder what the reaction of israelis will be to this supposedly evenhanded presentation .
0neg
the film would work much better as a video installation in a museum , where viewers would be free to leave . immediately .
0neg
human nature initially succeeds by allowing itself to go crazy , but ultimately fails by spinning out of control .
0neg
[it's] a prison soccer movie starring charismatic tough guy vinnie jones , but it had too much spitting for me to enjoy .
0neg
not even the hanson brothers can save it
0neg
the thriller side of this movie is falling flat , as the stalker doesn't do much stalking , and no cop or lawyer grasps the concept of actually investigating the case .
0neg
. . . [a] strained comedy that jettisons all opportunities for rock to make his mark by serving up the usual chaotic nonsense .
0neg
a sour , nasty offering .
0neg
feels like one of those contrived , only-in -hollywood productions where name actors deliver big performances created for the sole purpose of generating oscar talk .
0neg
obstacles are too easily overcome and there isn't much in the way of character development in the script .
0neg
it tells more than it shows .
0neg
earnest falls short of its ideal predecessor largely due to parker's ill-advised meddling with the timeless source material .
0neg
the film might have been more satisfying if it had , in fact , been fleshed out a little more instead of going for easy smiles .
0neg
pretentious editing ruins a potentially terrific flick .
0neg
not every animated film from disney will become a classic , but forgive me if i've come to expect more from this studio than some 79-minute after-school " cartoon " .
0neg
do not , under any circumstances , consider taking a child younger than middle school age to this wallow in crude humor .
0neg
nothing debases a concept comedy quite like the grinding of bad ideas , and showtime is crammed full of them .
0neg
much-anticipated and ultimately lackluster movie .
0neg
this is really just another genre picture .
0neg
each story on its own could have been expanded and worked into a compelling single feature , but in its current incarnation , storytelling never quite gets over its rather lopsided conception .
0neg
william shatner , as a pompous professor , is the sole bright spot . . .
0neg
a trite psychological thriller designed to keep the audience guessing and guessing -- which is not to be confused with suspecting -- until it comes time to wrap things up and send the viewers home .
0neg
neither funny nor suspenseful nor particularly well-drawn .
0neg
'carente de imaginación , mal dirigida , peor actuada y sin un ápice de romance , es una verdadera pérdida de tiempo y dinero'
0neg
acting , particularly by tambor , almost makes " never again " worthwhile , but [writer/director] schaeffer should follow his titular advice
0neg
both stars manage to be funny , but , like the recent i spy , the star chemistry begs the question of whether random gags add up to a movie .
0neg
" collateral damage " goes by the numbers and reps decent action entertainment – until the silly showdown ending that forces the viewer to totally suspend disbelief
0neg
'enigma' is a good name for a movie this delibrately obtuse and unapproachable . a waste of good performances .
0neg
a dreary , incoherent , self-indulgent mess of a movie in which a bunch of pompous windbags drone on inanely for two hours . . . a cacophony of pretentious , meaningless prattle .
0neg
i kept thinking over and over again , 'i should be enjoying this . ' but i wasn't .
0neg
as conceived by mr . schaeffer , christopher and grace are little more than collections of quirky traits lifted from a screenwriter's outline and thrown at actors charged with the impossible task of making them jell .
0neg
like so many other allegedly scary movies , it gets so tangled up in the twist that it chokes the energy right out of the very audience it seeks to frighten .
0neg
the essential problem in orange county is that , having created an unusually vivid set of characters worthy of its strong cast , the film flounders when it comes to giving them something to do .
0neg
just like hearst's enormous yacht , it's slow and unwieldy and takes a long time to reach its destination .
0neg
there is not a character in the movie with a shred of plausibility , not an event that is believable , not a confrontation that is not staged , not a moment that is not false .
0neg
where last time jokes flowed out of cho's life story , which provided an engrossing dramatic through line , here the comedian hides behind obviously constructed routines .
0neg
why come up with something even quasi-original , when you can pillage from shirley jackson , richard matheson . . . and puke up something like rose red ?
0neg
a broadly played , lowbrow comedy in which the cast delivers mildly amusing performances and no farm animals were injured by any of the gags .
0neg
. . . too gory to be a comedy and too silly to be an effective horror film .
0neg
lacks heart , depth and , most of all , purpose .
0neg
though a bit of a patchwork in script and production , a glossy , rich green , environment almost makes the picture work .
0neg
perfectly enjoyable , instantly forgettable , nothing to write home about .
0neg
wasabi is slight fare indeed , with the entire project having the feel of something tossed off quickly ( like one of hubert's punches ) , but it should go down smoothly enough with popcorn .
0neg
somehow both wildly implausible and strangely conventional .
0neg
this ill-fitting tuxedo is strictly off-the-rack .
0neg
is " ballistic " worth the price of admission ? absolutely not . it sucked . would i see it again ? please see previous answer .
0neg
the premise is in extremely bad taste , and the film's supposed insights are so poorly thought-out and substance-free that even a high school senior taking his or her first psychology class could dismiss them .
0neg
sets up a nice concept for its fiftysomething leading ladies , but fails loudly in execution .
0neg
kidman is really the only thing that's worth watching in birthday girl , a film by the stage-trained jez butterworth ( mojo ) that serves as yet another example of the sad decline of british comedies in the post-full monty world .
0neg
imagine the james woods character from videodrome making a home movie of audrey rose and showing it to the kid from the sixth sense and you've imagined the ring .
0neg
this time kaufman's imagination has failed him .
0neg
an intermittently pleasing but mostly routine effort .
0neg
it becomes gimmicky instead of compelling . " interview " loses its overall sense of mystery and becomes a tv episode rather than a documentary that you actually buy into .
0neg
'unfaithful' cheats on itself and retreats to comfortable territory . too bad .
0neg
frenetic but not really funny .
0neg
taken individually or collectively , the stories never add up to as much as they promise .
0neg
if you're not a prepubescent girl , you'll be laughing at britney spears' movie-starring debut whenever it doesn't have you impatiently squinting at your watch .
0neg
a didactic and dull documentary glorifying software anarchy .
0neg
an awful snooze .
0neg
sluggishly directed by episodic tv veteran joe zwick , it's a sitcom without the snap-crackle .
0neg
you could nap for an hour and not miss a thing .
0neg
director clare kilner's debut is never as daft as it should have been .
0neg
new best friend shouldn't have gone straight to video ; it should have gone straight to a mystery science theater 3000 video .
0neg
wallace seems less like he's been burning to tell a war story than he's been itching to somehow tack one together
0neg
the thrill is ( long ) gone .
0neg
just plain silly .
0neg
began life as a computer game , then morphed into a movie -- a bad one , of course .
0neg
part comedy , part drama , the movie winds up accomplishing neither in full , and leaves us feeling touched and amused by several moments and ideas , but nevertheless dissatisfied with the movie as a whole .
0neg
godawful boring slug of a movie .
0neg
dull , if not devoid of wit , this shaggy dog longs to frisk through the back alleys of history , but scarcely manages more than a modest , snoozy charm .
0neg
scene-by-scene , things happen , but you'd be hard-pressed to say what or why .
0neg
. . . an unimaginative , nasty , glibly cynical piece of work .
0neg
it is , by conventional standards , a fairly terrible movie . . . but it is also weirdly fascinating , a ready-made eurotrash cult object . it is also , at times , curiously moving .
0neg
the tug-of-war at the core of beijing bicycle becomes weighed down with agonizing contrivances , overheated pathos and long , wistful gazes .
0neg
vile and tacky are the two best adjectives to describe ghost ship .
0neg
some decent actors inflict big damage upon their reputations .
0neg
being author wells' great-grandson , you'd think filmmaker simon wells would have more reverence for the material . but this costly dud is a far cry from either the book or the beloved film .
0neg
offensive in the way it exploits the hot-button issue of domestic abuse for cheap thrills and disgusting in the manner it repeatedly puts a small child in jeopardy , treating her as little more than a prop to be cruelly tormented .
0neg
mark me down as a non-believer in werewolf films that are not serious and rely on stupidity as a substitute for humor .
0neg
thoughtless , random , superficial humour and a lot of very bad scouse accents
0neg
aspires for the piquant but only really achieves a sort of ridiculous sourness .
0neg
accuracy and realism are terrific , but if your film becomes boring , and your dialogue isn't smart , then you need to use more poetic license .
0neg
for all its highfalutin title and corkscrew narrative , the movie turns out to be not much more than a shaggy human tale .
0neg
a soggy , cliche-bound epic-horror yarn that ends up being even dumber than its title .
0neg
one groan-inducing familiarity begets another .
0neg
although based on a real-life person , john , in the movie , is a rather dull person to be stuck with for two hours .
0neg
feeble comedy .
0neg
great story , bad idea for a movie .
0neg
with spy kids 2 : the island of lost dreams writer/director/producer robert rodriguez has cobbled together a film that feels like a sugar high gone awry .
0neg
there is no entry portal in the rules of attraction , and i spent most of the movie feeling depressed by the shallow , selfish , greedy characters .
0neg
it's hard to tell with all the crashing and banging where the salesmanship ends and the movie begins .
0neg
" my god , i'm behaving like an idiot ! " yes , you are , ben kingsley .
0neg
a dreadful live-action movie .
0neg
divertingly ridiculous , headbangingly noisy .
0neg
an earnest racial-issues picture that might have gotten respectful critical praise in a different era -- say , the '60s .
0neg
a hideous , confusing spectacle , one that may well put the nail in the coffin of any future rice adaptations .
0neg
all i can say is fuhgeddaboutit .
0neg
between bedroom scenes , viewers may find themselves wishing they could roll over and take a nap .
