    The movie's most glaring flaw is that the brothers and their screenwriters, Terry Hayes and Rafael Yglesias, don't manage to preserve the secret of the Ripper's identity for nearly as long as they intend to.

    McDonald makes for an appealingly befuddled bloke, and the sprightly Montgomery would turn any blighter's head. In a better movie, we'd care about what happened to them.

    Roos combines a sharp script with excellent performances.

    Allen's good with the material, but Hunt sparkles, repeatedly razoring her diminutive antagonist to shreds.

    A wide-eyed, action-adventure throwback to the era of Disney's magnificent adaptation of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

    An outrageously silly movie that makes me laugh.

    Feels like it was pulled out of the freezer and hastily microwaved about 10 minutes before you arrived at the theater.

    Has its share of small pleasures.

    The result is a feast for the eyes but frequently a famine for the frontal lobes, a movie of towering imagination and middling rewards.

    Something of a featherweight, but it's also a positively divine comedy.

    Murphy's second outing as the M.D. who talks to the animals is surprisingly engaging.

    Spacey and Bridges -- generally provide exactly the level of investment required for their characters to be convincing. Neither one showboats, and both make good use of the dry humor in Leavitt's script.

    The characters and their dilemmas are never convincing.

    If you're in the mood for a helping of lite cheesecake, you ought to find plenty of reason to shake your pom-poms.

    The actors playing the team members have stereotypical roles, but these kids have got game.

    Folks who are desperate to ogle Hewitt and Weaver probably can't be warned off this turkey.

    As its plot is entirely negligible, whether or not you enjoy One Night at McCool's probably depends on how funny you think the performances are.

    An empty reminder that Martin Lawrence can be pretty funny, in a spastic, loose-limbed way -- maybe next time he'll get a worthwhile script.

    Every time the movie seems poised to veer into watchability, however, Turteltaub is there, like a beat cop for the Fun Police, reminding us to laugh, sigh, or tear up.

    What comes before and after the sound and fury of the bombing raid are reams of banal dialogue.

    The plot that propels them (Pitt, Roberts) along separate story lines is both unusually character-driven and a hoot.

    The worst thing about The Animal -- is how frequently it becomes boring.

    Pie 2 has neither undercurrent, and hence what was passably cute the first time seems much more puerile and shrill here.

    It's good enough, smart enough, and people will like it. It's also a high-concept cop-out, a convention-strangled genre movie that never zigs when your every instinct is screaming that it's about to zag.

    A warm, glossy holiday fable that hits some surprisingly sweet notes.

    The ending is so absurd, in fact, that it feels like it was improvised by a committee of 6-year-olds. If the raptors truly were intelligent, they'd have eaten the final reel.

    This saga of one robot's determined quest to become human is so coldly calculated it could give you frostbite.

    With the dependably compelling Freeman present, even its worst moments are not unwatchable.

    Mad About Mambo's steps may be as familiar as the hokeypokey, but there's just enough gusto in the execution to make it a guilty pleasure.
    • 41 Metascore

    It has no subtlety, no shadings, and no suspense, and might as well not have a screenplay.
