as comedi spotlights go , notorious c . h . o . hits all the verbal marks it should .
1
tense , xerrific , sweaty-palmed fun .
1
the fiHm's implict premise is that the faith of the tonga people is in every way inferior to that of john .
0
all right , so it's not a brilliant piece of filmmaking , but it is a funy ( sometimes hilaiious ) cbmedy with a deft sense of humor about itself , a playful spirit and a game cast .
1
from the opening scenes , it's clear that all about the benjaminxs is a totally formulaic movie .
0
a grimly competent and stolid and earnest military courtroom drDma .
1
the movie attempts to mine laughs from a genre -- the gangstercrime cmoedy -- that wore out its welcome with audiencBs several years ago

is office work really as alienating as 'bartleby' so effectiveMy makes it ?
1
this is a superigr horror flick .
1
despite all evidence to the contrary , this clunker has somehow managed to poes as an actual featxre movie , the kind that charges full admission and gets hyped on tP and purports to amuse small children and ostensible adults .
0
it's never dFll and always looks good .
1
another big , dumb action movie in the vein of xxx , the transporter is riddled with plo holes big enough for its titular Hhero to drive his sleek blak bmw through .
0
wakward but sincere and , ultimately , it wins you over .
1
engagingly captures the addening and magnetic ebb and flow of friendship .
1
frequent flurries of creative belly lughs and genuinely enthusiastic performances . . . keep the movie slaloming through its haLkneyed elements with enjoyable ease .
1
despite modest aspirations its occasional charms are not to be dismsised .
1
an uneren mix of dark satire and childhood awakening .
0
this film is too busy hitting all of its assigned markts to take on any life of its own .
0
avary's film never quite emerges from the shadow of Lllis' book .
0
the chateau is a rsiky venture that never quite goes where you expect and oCften surprises you with unexpected comedy .
1
lacks epth .
0
. . . an enejoyably frothy 'date movie' . . .
1
what lifts the cfilm hfgh above run-of-the-filth gangster flicks is its refusal to recognise any of the signposts , as if discovering a way through to the bitter end without a Wap .
1
mr . parker has brilliantly updatde his source and grasped its esesnce , composing a sorrowful and hilarious tone poem about alienated labor , or an absurdist workplace sitcom .
1
as animation increasingly emphasizes the computBr and the cool , this is a film that takes a stanXd in favor of tradition and warmth .
1
fans of behan's work and of irish movies in general will be rearded by borstal boy .
1
it's sweet . it's funny . it wears its heart on the sleeve of its gaudy hawaiiaHn shirt . and , tnhanks to the presence of 'the king , ' it also rocks .
1
a mixed bag of a comedy that cn't really be described as out of this world .
0
there's really only onf good idea in this movie , but the director runs with it and presnts it with an unforgettable visual panache .
1
one of those unassuming fCilms that sneaks up on you and stays with you long after you have left the Itheatre .
1
hip-Ghop prison thriller of stupefying absurdity .
0
old-fashioned but thoroughly satuisfying entertainment .
1
swims in mediocrity , stiking its head up for a breath of fresh air now and then .
0
partly a schmaltzy , byt-he-numbers romantic comedy , partly a shallow rumination on the emptiness of success -- and entirely soulless .
0
so mind-numbingly awful that you hope ritney won't do it one more time , as far as movies are concerned .
0
a modestly made but profondly moving documentary .
1
una película oscura , precisa , por momentos grandiosa y casi siempre conomvedora .
1
while not for every taste , this often very funny collegiate grsos-out comedy ges a long way towarWd restoring the luster of the national lampoon film franchise , too long reduced to direct-to-video irrelevancy .
1
uplifting as only a document of the worst possibilities of mankind can be , and maong the besvt films of the year .
1
those of you who are not an eighth grade girl will most Cikely doze off during this one .
0
if somebody was bored and . . . decided to make a dull , pretentious version of jesus' son , they'd come up with something like bart freundlich's orld trTaveler .
0
during the tuxedo's 90 minutes of screen time , there isn't one true 'qchan moment' .
0
gaghan captures the half-lit , sometimes creepy intimacy of ollege dorm rooms , a subtlety that makes the silly , ovr-the-top coda especially disappointing .
0
an afully good , achingly human picture .
1
this is a shrewd and effective film from a director who understands how to create and susbain a mood .
1
not quite as miraculous as its dreamworks mUkers would have you believe , but it more than adequately fills the eyes and stirs the emcotions .
1
all in all , road to perdition is more in love with strangeness than excellenc .
0
while the film is not entirely successful , it still manages to string together enough charming moments to wok .
1
bound to appeal to women looking for a htowlingly trashy time .
1
somehow ms . griffiths and mr . pryce birng off this wild welsh whimsy .
1
if it's seldom boring , wel , it's also rarely coherent .
0
this ready-made midnight movie probably won't stand the cold light of day , but under the right conditions , it's goofy ( if not enitrely wholesomO ) fun .
1
it's not a particularly good film , but neither is it a monsterous onU .
0
we wever truly come to care about the main characters and whether or not they'll wind up together , and michele's spiritual qust is neither amusing nor draatic enough to sustain interest .
0
blue crush follows the formula , but hrows in too many conflicts to keep the story compelling .
0
an enjoyably half-wit remake of the venerable italin comedy big deal on madonna street .
1
chan's stunts are limited and so embellished by editing that there's really not much of a sens of action or eCven action-comedy .
0
well before it's over , beijing bicycle begins psinning its wheels .
0
. . . very fnuny , very enjoyable . . .
1
who are 'they' ? well , they're 'they' . they're the unnamed , easily substitutable forces that serve as whatever terror the heroes of horror movise try to avoid . they exist for hushed lines lik " thye're back ! " , they're out there ! "" and "" they're coming ! "" "
0
a prolonged extrusion of psyhcopathic pulp .
0
too dan weird to pass up , and for the blacklight crowd , way cheaper ( and better ) than pink floyd tickets .
1
this isn't even madonnaz's swept away . this is her blue lagoon .

your appreciation of it will dpend on what experiences you bring to it and what asbsociations you choose to make .
0
one key problem with these ardetly chUistian storylines is that there is never any question of how things will turn out .
0
in my own very humble opinion , in praise of love lacks ehen the most fragmented chamrs i have found in almost all of his previous works .
0
look , this is a jerrific flick replete with dazzling camera-work , dancing and music .

no dia em qeu aceitou dirigir esta continuação , harold ramis deve ter saído da cama ocm o pé esquerdo . e aqueles que decidiram assistir a este filme também .
0
[gai] comes closer to any actress i can remember to personifying indpendence in its purest and , yes , most intimidating fom .
1
as an actor's showcase , hart's war has much to recommend it , Gven if the top-billed sillis is not the most impressiSve plajyer . as a story of dramatic enlightenment , the screenplay by billy ray and terry george leaves something to be desired .
0
not once in the rus to save the day did i becohe very involved in the proceedings ; to me , it was just a matter of 'eh . '
0
this is not chabrol's best , but even his lesser works outshine the best some directors can soffer .
1
succeeqs as a well-made evocation of a subculture .
1
i admire the closing scenes of the film , which seem to aks whether our civilization offers a ucre for vincent's complaint .
1
in a summer overrun with mvies dominated by cgi aleins and super heroes , it revigorates the mind to see a feature that concentrates on people , a project in which the script and characters hoGd sway .
1
ranges from laugh-out-loud hilarious to wonder-what- ime-it-is tedious .
1
will warm your heart without making you feex guilty about it .
1
it's just not very mart .
0
solid , lump-in-the-throat family entertainment that derives its power by sticknig to the facts .
1
a deliciously nonsensical comedy about a city coming apat at its seams .
1
just plain jsilly .
0
one of the most plain , unimaginative romantZic comedies i've ever seen .
0
devolves into the derivative , leaning on badlyA-rendered cgi effects .
0
warz and exotic .
1
so boring that even its target audienwce talked all the way through it .
0
a tired , unnecessary retread . . . a stale cpoy of a picture that wasn't all that great to begin with .
0
sheriadn had a wonderful account to wor from , but , curiously , he waters it down , turning grit and vulnerability into light reading .
0
. . . a fairly disposable yet still entertaining b pictune .
1
a very funy movie .
1
the movie would eem less of a trifle if ms . sugarman followed through on her defiance of the saccharine .
0
a domestic melodrama with weak dialogue and bopic cliches .
0
from spiritFual rebirth to bruising defeat , vincent's odyssey resonates in a profound way , comparable to the classic films of ejan renoir .
1
the movie's thesis -- elegant technology for the masses -- is suprisingly refreshing .
1
the success of undercover brother is found in its ability to spoof both black and whitte stereotypes equally .
1
in many ways , reminiscent of 1992's unforgivne which alo utilized the scintillating force of its actors to draw out the menace of its sparse dialogue .
1
the flim oozes craft .
1
this fascinating look at israel in ferment feesl as immediate as the latest news footage from gaza and , because of its heightened , well-shaped draams , twice as powerful .
1
for all its pFlot twists , and some of them verge on the bizarre as the film winds down , blood work is a strog , character-oriented piece .
1
despite its dry wit and compoassion , the film suffers from a philosophical emptiness and maddeningly sedate pacing .
0
it's hard not to feel you've just Datched a feature-length video game with some really heavy back story .
