    Miss Congeniality
    A mannerless, styleless brute, Bullock's Grace Hart is Eliza Doolittle in sweats.

    Pi
    It proceeds, weirdly enough, from the truly annoying to the absolutely fascinating.

    Southpaw
    Totally involving.

    A Knight's Tale
    More often than not, it's fun.

    Scary Movie
    The scary thing about this spoof of '90s teen horror movies is how funny it is.

    Kikujirô no natsu
    The comic drama is refreshingly anti- sentimental but will break your heart anyway.

    Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    Tends to be lugubrious.

    A Dog of Flanders
    There are times when watching this film is like a near-death experience.

    The Yards
    Keeps sinking into its own grimness.

    Brokedown Palace
    The specifics of their predicament are well handled -- being thrown in a Third World prison may be every tourist's nightmare -- even if the movie eventually goes soft and squishy.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Romeo Must Die
    Li is a phenomenon.
    • 44 Metascore

    What Dreams May Come
    Astonishing visualizations of the afterlife are coupled with a drawn-out allegory about communication between the living and the dead that becomes something of a trial to sit through.

    Finding Forrester
    Rich supplies some eloquent grace notes, and Van Sant uses them to make understated music.
    • 38 Metascore

    BASEketball
    Not half-bad. It's about three- quarters bad, actually, but what's left offers some goof-off fun.

    Little Nicky
    Adam Sandler finally has a good excuse: The devil made him do it.

    Thomas and the Magic Railroad
    This land of sweetness and light may appeal to many, but to some it is going to seem like living hell.
    • 63 Metascore

    Boiler Room
    Fascinating -- up to a point.
    • 52 Metascore

    The Wood
    The picture, directed by Rick Famuyiwa, becomes a juggling act, contrasting the efforts of the three grown-up buddies to get to a wedding on time, with flashbacks of their youth.
    • 51 Metascore

    Six Days Seven Nights
    Action in an action comedy is supposed to be funny, too, as Jackie Chan well knows. The refitting of the crashed plane is so tedious we feel as if we're doing the work ourselves.

    Passion of Mind
    At its most interesting, and a bit frightening, when Moore starts to get a little loony. Too bad they didn't follow through and make this more of a psychological thriller than a melodrama.

    Dude, Where's My Car?
    Don't tell Mom, but everybody seems stoned.
    • 79 Metascore

    Beautiful People
    For a bighearted effort like this one, some patience on the audience's part is not too much to ask. Go ahead. Take a chance.

    Cure
    It's more psychological than a genre movie, and that is the source of both its greatest interest and its biggest problem.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Cruel Intentions
    It is maliciously entertaining, up to a point.
    • 38 Metascore

    Just Visiting
    Amusing enough.

    Dr. Dolittle 2
    It is the Eddie Murphy movie where Eddie Murphy has next to nothing to do. Do little says it all.
    • 29 Metascore

    Driven
    Even if his (Stallone) own star may be fading, the popularity of car racing is enormous. These fans are not likely to be disappointed by Driven.

    Jeepers Creepers
    The first half-hour of this movie is sensational, creating an atmosphere of dread that any horror master would envy.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Bob Graham
    Boys Life 3
    The show takes little more than an hour to finish and less than a minute to forget, while politely reminding us not only that gay movies have fallen on hard times but also that they refuse to give up.

    The Million Dollar Hotel
    Gutter romance meets metaphysical thriller.
