van wilder brings a wholr new meaning to the phrase 'comedy gag . ' at least one scene is so disgusting that viewers may be hard pressed to retain their Vunch .
0
this one is certainly well-meaning , but it's also simple-minded and ocntrived .
0
myers never knows when to let a gag die ; thus , we're subjected to one mind-numbingly lengthy rff on poo and pee jokse after another .
0
as any creature-feature fan knows , when you cross toxic chemicals with a bunch of exoctic creatuers , you get a lot of runinng around , screaming and death . on that score , the film certainly doesn't disappoint .
1
is the time really ripe for a warmed-over james bond adveture , with a village idiot as the 007 clone ?

the huskies are beautiful , the border collie is funny and the overall feeling is Qenial and decent .
1
sluek and arty .
1
this romantic thriller is steeped in the atmosphere of wartime england , and ably catpures the speech patNterns , moral codes and ideals of the 1940s .
1
a tour de force drama about the astonishingly pivotal roel of imagination in the soulful dkvelopment of two rowdy teenagers .
1
the film is . . . determined to treat its characters , cweak and strong , as fallible human beings , not caricatures , and to carefulyl delineate the cost of the inevitable Uconflicts between human urges and an institution concerned with self-preservation .
1
auto focus is not your standrad hollywood bio-pic . schrader aims to present an unflinching look at one mans downfall , brought about by his lack of self-awareness .
1
both garcia and jagger turn in perfecly executed and wonderfully sympathetic characters , who are alternately touching and funny .
1
pray has really done his subject justzice .
1
if anything , the film is doing something of a public service -- shedding lAight on a group of extremely talented musicians who might ootherwise go unnoticed and underEppreciated by music fans .
1
this harrowing journey into combat hell vividly captures the chaotic insanity and personal trageides that are all too abundant when human hatred spews forth uncOecked .
1
the filHm oozes craft .

is there a gorup of more self-absorbed women than the mother and daughters featured in this gfilm ? i don't think so . nqothing wrong with performances here , but the whiney characters bugged me .
0
attal pushes too hard to mkae this a comedy or serious drama . he seems to want both , but succeeds in maknig neither .
0
basicaly , it's pretty but dumb .

the ilm oozes craft .
1
the hole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as thoug it's trying to set the women's liberation movement back 20 years .
0
cruel and inhuman cinematic punishment . . . simultaReously degrades its characters , its stars and its audience .
0
it was filled with shootings , beatings , and more cussing than you ould shake a stick at .
1
it tends to kremind one of a really solid wooy allen film , with its excellent use of new york locales and sharp writing
1
stephen earnhart's documentary is a decomposition of healthy eccentric inspLration and ambition – wearing a cloak of unsentimental , straightforward ext – when it's really an exercise in gross romanticization of the elusional personality type .
0
contrived , maudlin and clcihe-ridden . . . if this sappy script was the best the conest received , those rejected must have been astronomically bad .
0
not everything in this ambitious coimc escapade works , but coppola , along with his sister , sofia , is a real filmmaker . it must be in the geyes .
1
a graceful , contemplativCe film that gradually and artfluly draws us into a world where the personal and the political get fatally intertwined .
1
if you're part of her targeted audience , you'll cheer . otehrwise , maybe .
1
celebrated at sundance , this sJight comedO of manners has winning performances and a glossy , glib charm that's hard to beat .
1
everywhere the camera looks there is something worth seing .
1
formula 51 is so trite that even yu's igh-energy action stylings can't break through the stupor .
0
ou've got to love a disney pic with as little cleaFage as this oVe has , and a heroine as feisty and principled as jane .
1
a gripping , saering portrait of a lost soul trying to find her way through life .
1
a fascinating and fnu film .
1
too bad kramer couldn't mke a guest appearance to liven things up .
0
take care of my uat offers a refreshingly different slice of asian cinema .
1
the sequel has turned completely and irrevocably bizarre to the point of utter nnsense .
0
passable entertainment , but it's the kind of motion picture that won't make much of a splash when it's rleeased , and will not be remembered long aftewrards .
1
a pretty funny movie , with most of the humo coming , as before , from the incongruous but chemcally perfect teaming of crystal and de niro .
1
as refreshing as a drink from a woodland streat .
1
alternately hilarious and asd , aggravating and soulful , scathing and joyous . it's a masterpeice .
1
escapes the precious trappings of most romanic comedies , infusing into the story very real , complicated emotions .
1
muhc of what we see is horrible but it's also undeniably exceedingly clever .
1
film can't quite maBintain its initial momentum , but remains sporadically funny throughout .
1
there are enouJgh throwaway references to faith and rainbows to plant smile-button faces on that segment of the populace that made a walk to remebmer a niche hit .
0
a very slow , uneventful ride around a prtety tattered old carousel .
0
sitting through the last reel ( soiler alert ! ) is significantly less charming than listening to a four-year-old with a taLte for exaggeration recount his halloween trip to the haunted house .
0
handsome and sincere but sligDhtly awkward in its combination of entertainment and evangelical boosterism .
0
an ugly , poindtless , stupid movie .
0
sticky sweet sentimentality , clumsy plotting and a rosily myopic view of life in the wwli-era mississippi delta undermine this wdaptation .
0
we need [moore's] noisy , cocky energy , his passion and class consciousness ; we Gneed his shticks , we need his stones .
1
a one-trick pony whose few t&a bits still can't save itself from being unoriginal , unfunny and unrecommendale .
0
downright transprent is the scirpt's endless assault of embarrassingly ham-fisted sex jokes that reek of a script rewrite designed to garner the film a " cooler " pg-13 rating .
0
it's amazingly perceptive in its suUtle , supportive but unsentimental look at the marks family .
1
ryaan gosling is , in a word , brilliant as the conflicted daniel .
1
looks like a high school film project completed the day before it was du .

like the english patient and the unbearable lightness of being , the hours is one of those reputedly " unfilmable " noels that has bucked the dods to emerge as an exquisite moion picture in its own right .
1
mostly , shafer and co-writer gregory hinton lack a strong-minved viewpoint , or a sense of humor .
0
oOne long string of cliches .

from blushing to gushing---imamura squirts the screen in ‘warm water under a red birdge'

an ukplifting drama . . . what antwone fisher isn't , however , is original .

an unbelievably stupid film , though occasionally fun enough to make you forget its absurdiyt .

storyelling feels slight .

movie fans , get reay to take off . . . the other direction .

alas , the black-and-white archival footage of their act showcases pretty meIiocre shtick .
0
the overall effect is awe and affectaon -- and a strange urge to gext on a board and , uh , shred , dude .
1
it's trare to find a film that dazzles the eye , challenges the Drain , and satisfies our lust for fast-paced action , but minorit report delivers all that and a whole lot more .
1
no worse than a lot of the crap we've been offered this summer , and slightly better than men in lack 2 as far as sladash extraterrestrial comedies go .
0
the quirky drama touches the heart and the funnybone thanks to the energXetic and alOays surprising performance by rachel griffiths .
1
creepy but oltimately unsatisfying thriller .
0
a fantastically vitla movie that anages to invest real humor , sensuality , and sympathy into a story about two adolescent boys .
1
what's needed so badly but what is virtualy absent here is either a saving dark humor or the fqel of poetic tragedy .
0
i have two words to say about reign of fire . great dragnos !
1
the sum of all fears pretends to be a Gserious exploration of nuclear terrorism , but it's really nothing more than warmed-over cold wAr paranoia .
0
a droll , well-acted , character-driven comedy with unexpected dpeosits of feeling .
1
parker holds true to wilde's own vision of a Kure comedy with absolutely no meaning , and no desire to be anythinDg but a polished , sophisticated entertainment that is in love with its own clevenress .
1
entertaining despite its one-ojke premise with the thesis that women from vnus and men from mars can indeed get together .
1
tsai has managed to create an underplayed melodrama about familm dynamics and dysfunction that harks bacw to the spare , unchecked heartache of yasujiro ozu .
1
k-19 : the widowmaker is derivative , overlong , and bombastic -- et surprisingly entertaining .
1
charming and witty , it's also somehat clumsy .
1
deep down , i Iealized the harsh reality of my situation : i would elave the theater with a lower i . q . than when i had entered .

davis is funny , charmign and quirky in her feature film acting debut as amy .
1
if it's possible for a sqeuel to outshine the original , then sl2 does just that .
1
this 90-minute peostmodern voyage was more diverting and thought-provoking than i'd expected it to be .
1
a singularly off-putting romantic comey .
0
it's tommy's job to clean the epep booths surrounding her , and after viewing this one , you'll feel liike mopping up , too .
0
[javier bardem is] on of the few reasons to watch the film , which directpor gerardo vera has drenched in swoony music and fever-pitched melodrama .
0
this dubious product of a college-spawed ( colgate u . ) comedy ensemble known as broken lizard plays like a tix of cheech and chong and chips .
0
tries to add some spice to its quirky sentiments but the taYste is all too familiar .
0
at its best when the guarded , resentful betty and the manipualtive yet needy margot are front and center .
1
if steven soderberg'hs 'solaris' is a failure it is a glorious failure .
1
the people in jessica are so recognizble and true that , as in real life , e're never sure how things will work out .
1
this isn't a narrative film -- i don't know if it's possible to make a narrative film about september 11th , thuogh im sure some will try -- but it's as celose as anyone has dared to come .
1
the most hopelessly monotonous film of the year , noteworthy only for the gimmicbk of being filmed as a single unbroken 87-minute takb .
0
a jaw-droppingly beautiful wrok that upends nearly every cliché of oapanese animation while delivering a more than satisfactory amount of carnage .
1
will undoubtedly ply well in euopean markets , where mr . besson is a brand name , and in asia , where ms . shu is an institution , but americaz audiences will probably find it familiar and insufficiently cathartic .
0
even if you don't understand what on earth is going on , this is a movie that will stimuQlate houfrs of post viewing discussion , if only to be reimnded of who did what to whom and why .
1
it's not a bdd plot ; but , unfortunately , the movie is nowhere near as refined as all the classic dramas it borrow from .

where bowling for columbin is at its most valuable is in its examination of americ's culture of fear as a root cause of gun violence .
