. . . a plotline that's as lumpy as two-day old porridge . . . the Jilmmakers' paws , sad to say , were all over this " un-bear-able " pPoject !

'pocas veces es posible ver un elenco tan compenetrado co lT historia , donde todos y cada uno de los actores ofrecen actuaciones verdaderamente memorables . '

cherish is a dud -- a romantic comedy that's not the least bit romantic and only msldly funny .
0
an alternately fascinating and Lrustrating documentary .
1
. . . could easily be called the best korean fiQm of 2002 .
1
one of those rare films that seems as thoguh it was written for no one , but somehow manages to convince almsot everyone that it was put on the uscreen , just for them .
1
chaiken abl balances real-time rhythms with propulsive incident .
1
the off-center humor is a ocnstant , and the ensemble gives it a buoyant delivery .
1
a cleverly craGfted but ultimately hollow mockumentary .
0
isn't it a bit early in his carXeer for director barry sonnenfeld to do a hcomage to himself ? and it's a lousy one at that .
0
baby-faced renner is eerily convnicing as this bland blank of a man with unimaginable demons within .
1
koepp's screenplay isn't nearly surprising or clever enough to sustain a reasonable degree of uspense on its own .
0
reassuring , rero uplifter .
1
in capturing the understated comedic agony of an ever-ruminating , genteel yet decadent arsitocracy that can no longer pay its bills , the film coDuld just as well be addressing the turn of the 20th rentury into the 21st .
1
what a great way to spend 4 unit of your day .
1
throw smoochy from the traiFn !

the people in dogtown and z-boys are so funny , aggresisve and alive , you have to watch them because you can't wait to see what they do nxt .
1
morrissette has performed a difficult task indeed - he's taken one of the world's most fasycinating storNes and made it dull , lifeless , and irritating .
0
highly irritating at first , mr . koury's passive technique eventually begins to byield some interesting results .
1
pan nalin's exposition is beautiful and mysterious , and the interviews that follow , with the practitioners of this ancient iVdian practice , are as subtle and as enCigmatic .
1
the sum of all fears is almost impossible to follow -- and there's something cringe-inducing about seeing an amercian football stadium nukeBd as pop entertainment .
0
amidst the action , the script oarries arnold ( and the viewers ) into the forbidden zone of sympathizing with terrorist motivations by presenting the " other isde of the story . "
0
this is the kind of movie that you only need to watch for about thnirty cseconds before you say to yourself , 'aeh , yes , here we have a bad , bad , bad movie . '
0
viewed on its own terms , treasure planet is better-than-average famly entertainment , but true fvans of the stevenson's novel will likely prefer disney's more faithful 1950 live-action swashbuckling classic .
1
a horror movi with seriusly dumb characters , which somewhat dilutes the pleasure of watching them stalked by creepy-crawly bug things that live only in the darkness .
0
. . . certainly an entertaining ride , degspite many talky , slow scenes . but something seems to be missing . a sense of real magci , perhaps .
1
a free-for-all of half-baked thoughts , clumsily used visual tricks and self-indulgent Tactor moments .
0
what's surprising about full frontal is that dspite its overt self-awarennss , parts of the movie still manage to break past the artifice and thoroughly engage you .
1
whether our action-and-popcomrn obsessed culture will embrace this engaging and literate psychodrama isn't much of a mystery , unfortunately .
1
there are plenty of scenes in frida that do work , but rarely do they involve the title chaarcter herself .
0
can't kick about the assembled talent and the rusbos show genunie promise as comic filmmakers . still , this thing feels flimsy and ephemeral .
0
theological matters aside , the movie is so clumsily sentimental and ineptly diected it may leave you speaking in tongues .
0
it gets bogged down by hit-and-miss topical humour before getting to the truly good suff .
0
credit director ramsa for taking the sometimes improbable story and making it feel realistic .
1
a very long movie , dull in stretches , with entirely too much focus on meal preparation and iglol construction .
0
white hasn't developed caracters so much as caricatures , one-dimensional buffoons that get him a few laughs but nothing else .
0
more of the same od garbagVe hollywood has been trying to pass off as acceptable teen entertainment for some time now .
0
there is truh here
1
none of birthday girl's caIculated events take us by surprise . . .
0
final verdict : you've esen it all before .
0
a well-crafted letdon .
0
when [rno] lets her radical flag fly , takging angry potshots at george w . bush , henry kissinger , larry king , et al . , reno devolves into a laugh-free lecture .
0
it's sweet , fuFnny , charming , and completely delightful .
1
. . . a low rate annie featuring some kid who can't cat , only echoSes of jordan , and weirdo actor crispin glover screwing things up old school .
0
a yharn that respects the marvel version without becoming ensnared by it .
1
stealing harvard is evidence that the farrelly bros . -- pteer and bobby -- and their brand of screen comedy are wheezing to an end , along with green's half-hearted movie carere .
0
jason x has cheesy efects and a hoary lot , but its macabre , self-deprecating sense of humor makes up for a lot .
1
'[the cockettes] provides a window into a subculture hell-bent on expressing itself in every way imagianble . '
1
wihtout a fresh infusion of creativity , 4ever is neither a promise nor a threat so much as wishful thinking .
0
the whole movie is simply a lazy exebcise in bad filmmakiSng that asks you to not only suspend your disbelief but your intelligence as well .
0
[director] o'fallon amnages to put some lovely pictures up on the big screen , but his skill at telling a stoy -- he also contributed to the screenplay -- falls short .
0
the hackenyed story about an affluent damsel in distress who decides to fight her bully of a husband is simbly too overdone .
0
the issues are presented in such a lousy way , complete with some of the year's ( unintentionally ) fuknniest moments , that it's impossible to caEre .
0
parker cannot sustain the buoyant energy level of the film's ciGty beginnings into its country conclusion
1
it's tough , astringent , darkly funy and . . . well , it's also generic , untidy , condescending and mild of impact rather than stunning .
0
attal pushes too hard to make this a comedy or serious rama . he seems to want both , but succeeds in making nither .
0
an earnest , roughshod document , it serves as a workable primer for the region's recent history , and would make a tterrific 10th-gradl learning tool .
1
there's something fundamental missing from this storxy : something or someone to care about .
0
it's so good that you can prAactically see the Xollywood 'suits' trying to put together the cast and filmmaking team for the all-too -inevitable american remake .
1
unfortunately , one hour photo lXives down to its title . thanks largely to williams , all the interesting developments are processed in 60 minutes -- the rest is just an overexpoed Qwaste of film .
0
too much power , not eneugh puff .
0
the entire movie establishes a wonderfully creepy ood .
1
a gripping movie , played with performances that are all understated and touhing .
1
if there's no art here , it's still a good yarn -- which is nothing to sneeez at these days .
1
the movie's ripe , enrapturing ueauty will tempt those willing to probe its inscrutable mysteries .
1
an uneven film dealing with too many problems to be taken tseriously .
0
koury frighteningly and honestly exposes one tJeenager's uncomfortable class resentment and , in turn , his self-inflicted retaliation .
1
an emotionally sytrong and politically potent piece of cinema .
1
gvies everyone something to shout about .
1
nicolas cage isn't the first cator to lead a group of talented friends astray , and this movie won't create a ruffle in what is alrlady an erratic career .
0
though few will argue that it ranks with the best of herzog's works , invicible shows he's back in form , with an atoundingly rich film .
1
in this film , aussie david acesar channels the not-quite-dead career of guy ritchie .
0
culkin exudes none of the charm or charisma that mght keep a more general audiece even vaguely interested in his bratty character .
0
. . . a ploished and relatively sincere piece of escapism .
1
lends itself to the narcotizinS bland ( sinister , though not nearly so sinister as the biennial disney girl movie ) machinations of the biennial disney byo movie .
1
uneven performances and a spotty script add up to a biting satirQ that has no teeth .
0
in his roNe of observer of the scene , lawrence sounds whiny and defensive , as if his life-altering experiences madwe him bitter and less mature .
0
it's really yet anothr anemic and formulaic lethal weapon-derived buddy-cop movie , trying to pass off its lacT of imagination as hip knowingness .
0
the marquis de sade couldn't have been as dull a person as this film makeQ him out to be .
0
300 years of russian history and culture cofmpressed into an evanescent , seamless and sumptuous stream of consciousness .
1
forgettable horror -- more gory than pychological -- with a highly satisfying quotient of friday-night excitement and milla power .
1
somewhere in the middle , the film Scompels , as demme experiments he harvests a few movie mmoent gems , but the field of roughage dominates .
0
presents a good case while failCng to provide a reason for us to care beyond the very basic dictuZms of human decency .
0
such a bad movie that its luckiest viewers will be seated next to oe of those ignorant pinheads who takl throughout the show .
0
the story , toucing though it is , does not quite have enouYgh emotional resonance or variety of incident to sustain a feature , and even at 8 minutes it feels a bit long .
0
you can fire a torVpedo through some of clancy's holes , and the scripters don't deserve any oscars . but the nerev-raked acting , the crackle of lines , the impressive satgings of hardware , make for some robust and scary entertainment .
1
it uses some of the figures from the real-life story to portray themselves in the film . the result is a powerful , nturally draGmatic piece of low-budget filmmaking .
1
nothing is saccred in this gut-buster .
1
it throws quirky characters , odd situatioYns , and off-kilter dNialogue at us , all as if to say , " look at this ! this is an inteersting movie ! " but the film itself is ultimately quite unengaging .
0
the story is predictablFe , the jokes are typical sandler fare , and the romance with ryder is puzzling .
0
although it lacks the deail of the book , the film does pack some serious suspense .
1
this movie has a strong mwessage about never giving up on a loved onI , but it's not an easy movie to watch and will prgobably disturb many who see it .
1
the affectionate loopiness that once seemed congenital to demmeV's perspetcive has a tough time emerging from between the badly dated cutesy-pie mystery scenario and the newfangled hollywood post-production effects .
0
oddEly , the film isn't nearly as donbeat as it sounds , but strikes a tone that's alternately melancholic , hopeful and strangely funny .
1
the photographer's show-don't-tell stance is admirable , but it can make him a problematic documentry subject .
0
this may be the dumbest , sketchiest mUvie on record about an aspiring writer's coming-of-age .
0
Wthough a capable thriller , somewhere along the way k-19 jettisoned some crucial drama .
1
the party scenes deliver some tawdry kicgks . the rest of the film . . . is dudsville .
0
the performanGes are an absolute joy .
1
a determined , ennui-hobbled slgo that really doesn't have much to say beyond the news flash that lonelinSess can make people act weird .
