a slow-moving police-procedural thriller

a bad idea from frame one

volletta wallace 's maternal fury
0negative
atop wooden dialogue
0negative
that it progresses in such a low-key manner that it risks monotony
0negative
it seeks excitement in manufactured high drama
0negative
feeble comedy .
0negative
an insult to every family
0negative
it is essentially empty
0negative
of the film 's problems
0negative
makes my big fat greek wedding look like an apartheid drama
0negative
is not even half the interest .
0negative
never achieve the popularity of my big fat greek wedding
0negative
right now , they 're merely signposts marking the slow , lingering death of imagination .
0negative
often lingers just as long on the irrelevant as on the engaging , which gradually turns what time is it there ?
0negative
the energy it takes to describe how bad it is
0negative
wait to see it then .
0negative
comatose ballerinas
0negative
of the road , where the thematic ironies are too obvious and the sexual politics too smug
0negative
formulaic equations
0negative
simply stupid , irrelevant
0negative
a heavy-handed indictment of parental failings and
0negative
seem weird and distanced
0negative
plodding mess
0negative
the weird thing about the santa clause 2 , purportedly a children 's movie , is that there is nothing in it to engage children emotionally .
0negative
you 'll find yourself wishing that you and they were in another movie .
0negative
of dishonesty
0negative
as bestial
0negative
as it is a loose collection of not-so-funny gags , scattered moments of lazy humor
0negative
, they prove more distressing than suspenseful .
0negative
her bully of a husband
0negative
gaghan ... has thrown every suspenseful cliché in the book at this nonsensical story .
0negative
the darker elements of misogyny and unprovoked violence suffocate the illumination created by the two daughters
0negative
stale retread
0negative
an already thin story boils down to surviving invaders seeking an existent anti-virus .
0negative
with fewer gags to break the tedium
0negative
overbearing and
0negative
deep deceptions
0negative
hampered -- no , paralyzed -- by a self-indulgent script ...
0negative
is expressly for idiots who do n't care what kind of sewage they shovel into their mental gullets to simulate sustenance .
0negative
which nurses plot holes gaping enough to pilot an entire olympic swim team through
0negative
a bad blend
0negative
excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic .
0negative
war movies
0negative
the cliché-laden screenplay
0negative
girlfriends are bad , wives are worse
0negative
, and as easy to be bored by as your abc 's ,
0negative
ransacks
0negative
lacks the charisma and ability to carry the film on his admittedly broad shoulders .
0negative
book report
0negative
leave the theater
0negative
spousal abuse
0negative
the director , with his fake backdrops and stately pacing ,
0negative
anyone who suffers through this film
0negative
for all its brilliant touches , dragon loses its fire midway , nearly flickering out by its perfunctory conclusion .
0negative
it 'll probably be in video stores by christmas
0negative
underachiever
0negative
dime-store ruminations
0negative
, reality shows -- reality shows for god 's sake !
0negative
whatever the movie 's sentimental , hypocritical lessons about sexism , its true colors come out in various wet t-shirt and shower scenes .
0negative
'll cry for your money back
0negative
is worse : the part where nothing 's happening , or the part where something 's happening
0negative
like max rothman 's future , does not work .
0negative
has the thrown-together feel of a summer-camp talent show : hastily written , underrehearsed , arbitrarily plotted and
0negative
bad run
0negative
may just end up trying to drown yourself in a lake afterwards .
0negative
at this time , with this cast , this movie is hopeless
0negative
time bombs
0negative
the surface histrionics failing to compensate for the paper-thin characterizations and facile situations
0negative
plumbs uncharted depths of stupidity , incoherence and sub-sophomoric sexual banter .
0negative
a sour taste in one 's mouth
0negative
... familiar and predictable , and 4/5ths of it might as well have come from a xerox machine rather than ( writer-director ) franc .
0negative
responsible for one of the worst movies of one year
0negative
appalling , shamelessly manipulative and contrived
0negative
human darkness
0negative
understand that the idea of exploiting molestation for laughs is funny , not actually exploiting it yourself
0negative
it 's too loud to shout insults at the screen
0negative
's a long way from orwell 's dark , intelligent warning cry ( 1984 )
0negative
ardently waste viewers ' time with a gobbler like this
0negative
see how many times they can work the words `` radical '' or `` suck '' into a sentence
0negative
a doubt
0negative
maudlin or
0negative
a party-hearty teen flick that scalds like acid .
0negative
the wan , thinly sketched story
0negative
this romantic/comedy asks the question how much souvlaki can you take before indigestion sets in .
0negative
failure to construct a story with even a trace of dramatic interest
0negative
but it also comes with the laziness and arrogance of a thing that already knows it 's won .
0negative
it 's a frightful vanity film that , no doubt , pays off what debt miramax felt they owed to benigni .
0negative
, future lizard endeavors will need to adhere more closely to the laws of laughter
0negative
a philosophical void
0negative
unlikable characters and a self-conscious sense
0negative
hot on the hardwood proves once again that a man in drag is not in and of himself funny .
0negative
hopelessly juvenile
0negative
required to give this comic slugfest some heart
0negative
feel more like a non-stop cry for attention
0negative
feel more like literary conceits than flesh-and-blood humans
0negative
no explanation
0negative
a chilly , remote , emotionally distant piece ... so dull that its tagline should be
0negative
a bargain-basement european pickup
0negative
it 's just weirdness for the sake of weirdness , and where human nature should be ingratiating , it 's just grating .
