    Rickman and Richardson are excellent actors put to ghastly waste.
    • 16 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    The story is a mess, some of the images offensive, the acting under par and the dialogue silly.

    Don't see The Inheritance if you're already depressed. This airless downer from Danish director Per Fly is about an heir who makes one wrong decision from which even lousier decisions effortlessly flow.

    The movie is full of puzzling celebrity cameos, as if Brazilian director Bruno Barreto called in all his chits.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    Crude and giggly.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    Juices up the visuals with fancy camerawork and split screens, but it can't distract enough from the vulgarity of the material.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    An unimaginative schoolyard-bully comedy.
    • New York Daily News
    • 24 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    A desperately unfunny comedy that wastes a brand-name cast.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    An abysmal comedy that should have been strangled in its crib.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 20 Jami Bernard
    This movie is not just bad, it is breathtakingly, spectacularly, awesomely bad. You might want to see it out of curiosity. [23 Aug 1996, p.40]

    The production is as gaily colored as the margaritas, but the overall result is wan.

    In his new concert film, a train wreck of self-regard, self-pity and not-so-humble pie, Martin Lawrence doth protest too much.
    • 41 Metascore

    You may not realize just how much it takes to make a great mockumentar like "Waiting for Guffman" until you see Never Been Thawed.

    "On Deadly Ground," "Out for Justice," "Marked for Death" these are the last times Seagal gave us nothing. With Fire Down Below, he outdoes himself. [6 Sept 1997, p.32]

    A gangsta rapper without fire in the belly isn't terribly interesting, cinematically or musically.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    The wordless six-minute animé shorts - at the end of which our double-jointed heroine would always die - don't lend themselves to a 95-minute action movie where viewers might rightfully expect something to make sense.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    Jackie Chan finally has met his match, an opponent so deadly that none of his considerable talent or charm can fight it -- a bad movie
    • 40 Metascore
    • 37 Jami Bernard
    If the Founding Fathers had known National Treasure would be the result of their efforts to forge a new nation, they might have reached for the Wite-Out.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    It tries to be more existential than gumshoe but falls way short.
    • 22 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    The movie is paint-by-numbers with several numbers skipped.
    • 10 Metascore

    Profoundly depressing.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    It's a humiliating comedown for Ford, and he looks creaky and grumpy, obviously aware that he is miscast and dreading every scene.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    It is not the worst movie ever made, as some critics claim, but it does a passing imitation.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    It's hard to care what really happened on Wonderland Ave. when the audience hates the neighborhood.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    Cedric is certainly the bright spot in this movie - personable, silly and lovable, with just enough of Gleason's girth, timing and humanity to make you wish he'd driven Ralph Kramden's bus onto the lot of a different movie.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    Unfocused and shrill.
    • 60 Metascore

    The movie then becomes John's story, making an unbelievable leap of psychodrama to do so.

    There ought to be a law about transporting humor internationally.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    Hell is sitting through a movie in which you have no respect for the protagonist and the "surprise" ending is as clearly lit as the exit sign.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    The audience for this chaste teen romance won't be film lovers, as the movie is sappy and listlessly paced. But it's just the ticket for people who want their movies sanitized.
