    Sugar & Spice
    It's perfectly entertaining (and well-executed) in its cute, undemanding way.

    Rush Hour 2
    The contrast between Chan's charm and physical prowess and Tucker's lack of same is even more dramatic in this tiresome, leaden sequel.

    Scary Movie
    The gleeful teen-horror spoof that proves that the Farrelly brothers have no monopoly on outrageous, politically incorrect comedy.

    Hit and Runway
    A shame that this indie's willingness to trade in stereotype leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

    Vertical Limit
    One of the most thrilling - and authentic - mountain-climbing films in recent memory. Unfortunately, it's also burdened by one of those every-line-a-wretched-cliché Hollywood screenplays.

    The Santa Clause 2
    There's not a moment in it that feels fresh or authentic or inspired. But neither is it offensive.

    Orange County
    In any case, the presence of O'Hara, Kline, Ramis, Black, Tomlin and John Lithgow (who plays Shaun's father) serve mainly to underline the feebleness of the screenplay and the slackness of the direction.

    The Mummy Returns
    Perfectly enjoyable swashbuckling, eye-catching entertainment.

    xXx
    Pumped-up, dumbed-down Bond, with tattoos instead of brains.

    What Women Want
    Adequately funny but predictable sitcom

    The Guru
    It's a film pregnant with comic possibility that ought to be much funnier than it is.

    Brother
    Takeshi's elliptical directorial style here is overwhelmed by the script's crudeness and lack of narrative power.

    Simon Magus
    Boring and irritating, and also mildly offensive in its ignorant depiction of both Judaism and Catholicism.

    Hotel
    Long stretches of Mike Figgis' film are jaw-droppingly pretentious or painfully dull... Nevertheless, there are clever, funny, erotic and visually beautiful moments scattered throughout the film.

    The Girl Next Door
    Though shamelessly derivative and amoral, The Girl Next Door is nevertheless funnier and smarter than most of the pathetic dreck aimed at the nation's teens.

    Heartbreakers
    Despite its talented and/or attractive cast, Heartbreakers is an ugly movie: The kind that makes you feel slightly soiled afterwards.

    The Hidden Wars of Desert Storm
    This crude, deeply dishonest documentary does no such thing. David Russell's fictional "Three Kings" does a much better job.

    Cats & Dogs
    Every good joke in the movie is to be found in those trailers.

    Big Trouble
    There are some decent jokes along the way. And none of the performances is bad. But they are limited by the script, which allows each character only one comic note.

    Alma
    The documentary equivalent of a Southern Gothic novel.

    The Disappearance of Finbar
    Part of the problem is that the Finbar character is both underdeveloped and unattractive - you don't get a sense of why anyone would miss him, let alone go searching for him in the snow. [17 Mar 2000]

    Festival in Cannes
    There is something offensively lazy about the thinness of the Jaglom's movie-industry characters, the simplistic problems they face, and the clumps of clumsy, apparently improvised dialogue they have to deliver.

    Breakin' All the Rules
    Not entirely bereft of chuckles, though it misses one comic opportunity after another (the best jokes are in the trailer).

    28 Days
    Much less mawkish and predictable than you might expect.

    The Woman Chaser
    It's a film noir spoof, replete with hard-boiled narration, lounge-music soundtrack and dramatic black-and-white photography.

    One Night at McCool's
    A strong, early candidate for the worst movie of the year.

    Dog Park
    A slack-paced, surprisingly bland affair, filled with jokes that sound like they should be funny but aren't.

    The Simian Line
    One of those exercises in romantic whimsy that misses its mark: It's alternately sappy and uncomfortably harsh.

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas
    By far the best and cutest thing about How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the dog Max.

    Blue Streak
    It isn't particularly subtle or original. But it's a good-natured late-summer romp fueled by Lawrence's manic shtick.
